Guidance

About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch → A modern fairy tale in a bottle: pear, hazelnut and rose over a creamy, glowing base. Guidance by Amouage, released in 2023 and created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, became an instant sensation for its blend of pear, hazelnut, sambac jasmine, rose, saffron, sandalwood and creamy woods. Bold, emotional and magnetic, it feels luxurious and distinctly feminine. The StoryGuidance reinterprets Amouage's signature triad of rose, frankincense and ambergris, reading, as the house puts it, like a poem and smelling like an embrace. The delicate strength of femininity is its theme, told in a dreamlike progression from a sweet, nutty opening, through a garden of osmanthus, rose and saffron, to a warm, enveloping base. How It SmellsOpening A striking contrast of juicy pear and creamy hazelnut with a veil of frankincense, sweet, smoky and instantly addictive. Heart A lush floral heart of rose, sambac jasmine and osmanthus blooms with richness and sensuality, while saffron adds warmth and intrigue. Dry Down Sandalwood, ambergris, Akigalawood, vanilla and cistus give smooth, creamy woody depth. The overall effect is creamy, fruity, floral and musky, and highly luxurious.
