A spellbinding interpretation of the Amouage triad of rose, frankincense, and ambergris, Guidance opens with a delicious shimmer of pear and hazelnut lifted by frankincense, glides into a radiant floral heart of saffron touched rose, jasmine sambac, and osmanthus, then settles into a creamy base where cistus, sandalwood, Akigalawood, ambergris, and vanilla glow for hours with gentle power and modern elegance.

Story and Positioning
Part of The Guidance Collection within the Odyssey universe, this eau de parfum carries a 25 percent oil concentration and undergoes four weeks of ageing for polish and depth. It is presented by the house as a poetic embrace that became one of its most admired modern creations and it has collected awards across Europe and the United States. The line expanded with Guidance 46 Exceptional Extrait, an intensified flanker that extends the theme with a higher concentration.
Bottle and Design
The flacon is a square lacquered bottle in a muted rose clay tone with softly rounded shoulders and a reassuring weight in hand. A raised sun seal sits at the center above crisp gold lettering, while a polished collar supports a domed cap in harmonious taupe that aligns cleanly when closed. The sprayer gives a fine, even mist for controlled wear, and the presentation box carries abstract marbled artwork with a centered plaque that names the perfume with quiet ceremony.
