Contrary to what one might expect, increasing the concentration of a fragrance does not necessarily mean an increase in its power or projection. Thanks to a cocktail of strong super amber materials, Guidance has been strong from the beginning. Guidance 46 is no different, though there is a distinctive weight and roundness that defines this exceptional extrait. Wear lightly so not to overwhelm your nose and cause olfactory fatigue, and you are rewarded with a incredibly long lasting fragrance with a marvellous radiance.

Rose and sandalwood are both prominent. And at this degree of richness, this beloved combination is to be rediscovered. Beguilingly creamy and deep, this rose note - uniquely emphasised in this extrait - provides a fresh and natural floral aspect to the scent, offering relief from the strong molecular architecture (akigalwood; georgywood).

Guidance 46 is loaded with nuance, from the soft fuzzy sweetness of pear with a green floral aspect, nutty hazelnut and powder sweet bitter almond, the cool spiced fruitiness of pink pepper, and a veil of finest frankincense and cypriol that sweeps across the surface of this fragrance. Everything melts into the glorious milky sandalwood note that defines this fragrance, with a floral heart, and a long finish both musky and woody

Commit to this fragrance - the long wear and drydown - and it rewards in turn.
