🌸 45. Guidance & Guidance 46 Review & Samples

I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as the original, but it surprised me. Where Amouage Guidance is bold and expressive—rose, spice, and presence—Amouage Guidance 46 moves in a gentler rhythm. It feels like the memory of a warm day lingering on skin—softer, rounder, and more fluid. It wears closer to the skin, quietly glowing with softened edges and a sheer brightness that feels perfect for summer.

Created by Quentin Bisch for Amouage, Guidance 46 distills the richness of the original into something more sheer and luminous. The pear note is still here, only riper and more golden—stewed gently in late light. The rose is clearer too, more tender, as if steeped in rosewater. A quiet spice drifts beneath, but it never overtakes.

What I love most is the drydown: creamy woods, luminous vanilla, and a breath of ambergris. It carries a quiet radiance—soft, fluid, and tender.

It’s the one I reach for when I want beauty without weight. Like walking barefoot through the last light of day—petals in the air, with a whole body smile.

🌸 The Experience of Guidance 46
Golden pear and rose sparkle.
Petals warmed by sun.
A calm that lingers on skin.
