What does Guidance 46 smell like?

The pear's fruity brightness is softened by hazelnut and bitter almond at the start, while pink pepper and rose water add a light touch of spice and flowers. The heart is led by osmanthus, jasmine sambac, rose and saffron. In the base, sandalwood, vanilla, ambergris and ambrette settle it into a creamy, woody, oriental warmth.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Close to half of voters read it as feminine, with a good share calling it modern. Amouage Guidance and The Dua Brand The Guide 46 have a close profile.
