Guidance 46 in detail
Guidance 46 belongs to Amouage's Exceptional Extraits and bears the signature of Quentin Bisch. Its name recalls its concentration, 46% perfume oil, a very high dose even for an extrait. The house files it among floral ambers. Quentin Bisch also signed French Affair for Ex Nihilo.
The official pyramid opens with pear, hazelnut, bitter almond, rose water, incense and pink pepper. The heart gathers saffron, rose, jasmine sambac and osmanthus. The base blends labdanum, sandalwood, Akigalawood, ambergris, vanilla, ambrette, Georgywood and cypriol.
Guidance 46 is an evening fragrance for autumn and winter; pear and hazelnut soften a very woody base, and rose, present in both the opening and the heart, ties the two parts together.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Journey Woman, also by Amouage, shares osmanthus, jasmine sambac, saffron, vanilla and cypriol; Birth of Venus by Argos finds jasmine sambac, rose, sandalwood and labdanum again; Crimson Rocks, another Amouage creation, pairs rose and pink pepper.
