Guidance 46 by Amouage is the intensified Exceptional Extrait version of the iconic Guidance. Created by Quentin Bisch and launched in 2024, it features a remarkable 46% perfume oil concentration, making it richer, smoother, and even more powerful than the original. This is Guidance turned into pure luxury armor.
How It Smells
It opens with an intense blend of pear, rose water, hazelnut, bitter almond, and frankincense—fruity, creamy, nutty, and immediately addictive. The heart blooms with lush rose, osmanthus, saffron, and jasmine sambac, creating a radiant floral richness. In the drydown, sandalwood, vanilla, ambergris, labdanum, Akigalawood, Georgywood, and cypriol build a creamy woody base with enormous depth. The overall effect is richer, smoother, creamier, and more regal than the original Guidance.
