Guidance takes up the house's three founding materials, rose, incense and ambergris, and lights them in a new way. Pear and hazelnut open the composition on an almost tactile softness, crossed by a veil of incense.
At heart, saffron and osmanthus give rose and jasmine sambac the texture of golden suede; the base, of rockrose, sandalwood, ambergris and vanilla, stretches out at length on the skin. A luminous embrace, at once comforting and solemn.

Guidance in detail
With Guidance, signed by Quentin Bisch, Amouage rewrites its historic materials, rose, incense and ambergris, with a luminous gourmand touch. The house, born in Oman, keeps the breadth of its compositions here but softens it with fruit and hazelnut.
The official pyramid opens on pear, incense and hazelnut: a fruity, resinous, slightly toasted start. The heart brings together saffron, rose, jasmine sambac and osmanthus. The base pairs labdanum, sandalwood, akigalawood, a wood produced through biotechnology with peppery accents, ambergris and vanilla.
Guidance is worn in spring, autumn and winter, by day or by night: a cool day, a dinner, an evening out. Its fruity softness makes it easier to wear in the daytime than the house's more resinous ambers.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue come close: Gold Woman, from the same house, shares rose, incense, ambergris and sandalwood; Overture 41, also by Amouage, brings together incense, saffron, sandalwood, vanilla and labdanum; Ambre Chromatique by Maison Crivelli pairs incense, osmanthus, vanilla and akigalawood.
