The Evolution

Guidance 46 elevates the olfactory journey begun by Guidance with several nuanced additions. The top notes introduce the fresh and invigorating elements of Rose Water, Pink Pepper, and Bitter Almond to the already beloved trio of Pear, Frankincense, and Hazelnut. This combination creates a more vibrant and multifaceted opening, with a balance of sweetness and spice that enchants the senses.

The heart notes remain a sophisticated floral harmony of Saffron, Rose, Sambac Jasmine, and Osmanthus, mirroring the original's core yet enriched in potency and depth, providing an intensified floral bouquet that blooms more profoundly.

In the base, Guidance 46 expands its depth and longevity with the addition of Ambrette, Georgywood, and Cypriol. These additions enhance the foundation with a musky, woody complexity that interplays with the warm, creamy notes of Cistus, Sandalwood, Akigalawood, Ambergris, and Vanilla, creating a richer and more layered dry-down.

The Experience

Guidance 46 is a fragrance that thrives on contrasts—its top notes sparkle with a fresh, nutty sweetness that quickly deepens into a rich, floral heart. The dry-down is where the true magic unfolds, with a base that melds creamy woods and resins with a touch of earthy musk, leaving a lingering, captivating trail. This extrait is perfect for those who appreciate the fine art of perfumery and seek a scent that is both enchanting and commanding.

Discover the paradoxes of light and shade, fragility and strength, with Guidance 46—an olfactory journey that transcends the ordinary, embodying the art of perfumery at its finest.
