The Scoop

THE DELICATE STRENGTH OF FEMININITY
An ivory tower wreathed in shreds of clouds, dewy mists of fragile Pear, inviting Almond Milk and beads of Frankincense draw the outlines of a dreamful haven. A princess whispers you in and leads the way to a lush garden where Osmanthus blossoms diffuse their heady apricot scent. A fountain gleams in the centre, its marble edge covered in scarlet roses whose voluptuous scent meets that of leathery Saffron threads laid on the floor.

Through Jasmine screens, sultry and spent, the woman walks and there comes with her a scent of dark Vanilla and skinlike Sandalwood, of ambery Labdanum and purring hints of regal Ambergris: who are you, she asks, and you feel seen.A spellbinding and novel interpretation of the Amouage triad of Rose, Frankincense and Ambergris, Guidance reads like a poem, smells like an embrace, and feels like a word of wisdom.

This perfume feels overly complex, with too many competing notes. It lacks clarity and balance, making it hard to fully enjoy or understand.

By Ruslana - H from Canada on 1/24/2025

Blind bought a whole bottle after watching an Olivia review on the ol' TikTok. Men do like the smell. To me it smells like a pick me girl, sexual in a cloying way. And there's something in the composition that just does't match, in an aggressive and not seductive way, like coconut meets tomato. It lasts for eons and is STRONG. Back in the day, I would've called this an exotic dancer perfume, actually perfect for the club, but not for real life

By Nosey - Sniffsniff from Aromaville on 10/11/2024

This fragrance is truly unique and distinctive, unlike any other in my collection. If you have the financial means, I highly recommend adding it to your collection. It's a powerful and captivating scent makes it my personal favorite among all the fragrances I own.

By Kerry - Welder from Laconia on 5/18/2024

I bought a sample. Didn’t buy a full bottle. Didn’t really understand what all the hype was about at all.

By Michele - CEO from La on 5/1/2024

This one wasn’t my favorite. Not as good as the others from Amouage

By M - CEO from LA on 4/6/2024

Give this perfume a chance! The hype is big for a reason. The initial spray is nuclear, but on the skin when this dries down is pure magic. I kid you not .. the compliments on this fragrance far exceed any of my other favorites. I own a lot of beautiful, well known niche perfumes. When I want to feel noticed with a scent trail bomb, I reach for this magic in a bottle. This soaks into my skin and talk about pheromone reaction!! It makes me excited every time I get to wear this one.

By Mharry - Sales from Chicago on 2/18/2024

I am not a big floral fan, but so many people rave about this one & I was hoping to finally find a floral that I enjoyed. It just smells like grandma on me. I’m so sad about it. The dry down was a little better, but still just too much floral.

By Sara - Musician from Cape Cod on 1/21/2024

It’s like as if Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar and Phlur Missing Person had a baby. I don’t know why I have not seen this in any of the other reviews, but when the scent dried down, I got such a strong hit of Warm Vanilla Sugar. I was getting hints of the saffron and a little bit of the comforting vibe I get from Missing Person, but the finish is all Warm Vanilla Sugar, if maybe a bit more grown. All these people who are saying they’ve never smelled anything like it either forget or were not around when WVS was THE thing. It’s quite strong, and lasts long, but the WVS vibes makes it hard for me to justify the price point.

By Felicia - Union TV & Film Hair Stylist from NYC on 12/31/2023

I think the ingredients are high quality and the perfumer is obviously very talented, but this went sour on me. There is a lot of hazelnut and something that creates a sour note that turns me off and, since it is so strong and long lasting, I feel I can't even finish my sample. very unique and sophisticated though.

By sarah - tourism from Puerto Rico on 11/26/2023

This is beautiful and it’s definitely not a safe blind buy. It’s creamy, fluffy, sweet, but it also has a musky depth that’s really interesting. It’s mature, but not old fashioned and it’s definitely a beast mode fragrance. I’m so glad I sampled it, but I won’t be buying because it’s not my style. I highly recommend checking it out if the notes peak your interest.

By LT - Physical Therapy from Seattle on 11/14/2023

Bought a sample of this because of some curious comparisons to female body parts online, and after using it once, I ordered the full-sized bottle. This is a beast mode type sent that lasts and lasts, but still remains beautiful and SEXY. I get a lot of the hazelnut, sandalwood, and saffron, but there is also a really nice sweetness to it too. The bottle is actually much prettier in person. This scent is ultra feminine and addicting and a definite compliment getter. I would suggest ordering a sample as this is an expensive scent and I do not agree that this is a safe blind buy for everyone.

By ericka - exec assist from san francisco on 9/21/2023

I describe this as a warm, woody, nutty fragrance. I get hazelnut, sandalwood and ambergris. I love hazelnut. The rose is a creamy one. This is actually a strong fragrance, but because the blend is so smooth and warm, it gives the impression of softness. The slight fruity touches keep it interesting. I think this is for a strong women with a soft presence. I do enjoy it, but in 106 degree heat, I prefer lighter, fruit florals. I will be wearing this a lot this Fall.

By AtotheJ - Senior Analyst from Sacramento on 8/16/2023

This is absolutely gorgeous. Sweet, creamy sandalwood, vanilla, and unctuous fruitiness from the osmanthus, but somehow fluffy and not cloying. Outstanding performance, too! My skin gobbles up fragrances no matter what I do, and this lasts 12 hours on me!

By Sara - Molner from Boston on 7/30/2023

This is the most heavenly scent I have ever had the privilege of smelling, It is a sweet, creamy, and nutty fragrance with a bit of saltiness. It is so very unique and I ALWAYS receive compliments on it when I wear it. The longevity and sillage are incredible, you will leave a lasting scent trail wherever you go. 10/10!

By Charis - Property Management from CA on 7/27/2023

Hands down my FAVORITE scent of all time. Used my whole sample and got more compliments than I ever have and I can't stop smelling myself when I am wearing it. Sillage and longevity are ridiculous so if you don't like being able to smell your perfume more than 15 minutes or having all the people rave about how good you smell then you should probably not get this. One to two sprays is all you need to last you all day and night. It is warm, sexy, intriguing, clean, creamy and just downright intoxicating. WORTH EVERY PENNY! SO so so good! I don't know how this is a miss for anyone... it is the only one I get compliments from my ladies, guys and my hubs. BUY the perfume, life is too short!

By H - Owner from Chicago on 7/27/2023

Very nice elegant and compliment getter!

By Pris - Counselor from Clovis on 7/15/2023

This is a sweet, woody, and fruity fragrance. I get mostly sandalwood, vanilla and osmanthus. Lasts for 10+ hours. It’s very unique and truly a masterpiece.

By Steph - Lint licker from America on 7/4/2023

This was a disappointment for me. I will say that the longevity is there and even after showering, the fragrance lightly lingered. It reminded me of hair products.
