Guidance 46 by Amouage takes the pear and hazelnut of its sibling and pushes them deeper, with more rose and a darker, woodier base. It opens with rose water, pear, hazelnut and bitter almond, sharpened by pink pepper and a curl of frankincense. Saffron, osmanthus, rose and jasmine sambac make the heart feel plush. The dry-down is dense and warm: sandalwood, vanilla, labdanum, ambergris and cypriol, with a faint oud-like shadow. It arrived in 2024 and is mostly worn by women, yet it wears like a velvet jacket anyone could borrow. Voters keep it for autumn and winter, for evenings and late nights. In the community vote its longevity reaches eternal and its sillage is called strong. Start with a 3ml decant; it is a lot of perfume.
