Description
Description
Amouage Guidance is a luminous gourmand-floral that turns hazelnut, pear and creamy sandalwood into something poetic and quietly hypnotic. Composed by perfumer Quentin Bisch for the Omani house Amouage in 2023, it reimagines the brand’s signature rose-and-incense DNA through a soft, edible lens. Reviewers call it polarizing but unforgettable — a scent that feels both comforting and otherworldly.

Translation: a creamy, nutty-sweet heart of pear and hazelnut wrapped in osmanthus and rose, grounded by smooth sandalwood, frankincense and a soft resinous warmth from labdanum and ambergris.
