It reworks the house triad of rose, frankincense and ambergris, and the brand says it reads like a poem and feels like an embrace. Quentin Bisch composed it, with Renaud Salmon as Chief Creative Officer, and the oil level is 25%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Pear, Frankincense, Hazelnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Saffron, Rose, Jasmine Sambac, Osmanthus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Cistus, Sandalwood, Akigalawood, Ambergris, Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePear, resin, nut\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening is soft rather than sharp: juicy pear, the dry, balsamic smoke of frankincense and a rounded, toasted note of hazelnut. There is no sparkling citrus here. The fruit stays gentle, and the resin gives it a shadow from the first minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSaffron over the roses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaffron brings a leathery, slightly metallic warmth, while rose and jasmine sambac appear as full, rich flowers rather than airy ones. Osmanthus adds an apricot-like, suede softness. The result is a floral centre with spice and some shadow in it, in line with the brand's poetic description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCistus, woods, vanilla\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is warm and resinous. Cistus gives a dry, ambery, honeyed resin, sandalwood a creamy wood and akigalawood a dry, spicy-woody lift. Ambergris adds a salty glow like skin, and vanilla rounds the end into something soft and enveloping, the embrace the brand talks about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuidance does best in the cooler months and in the evening, when the resin and vanilla have room. At 25% perfume oil, two or three sprays give the whole picture. It suits dinners, the theatre and quiet occasions where a rich, warm floral fits the setting. The edges stay soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuidance belongs to the house's universal perfumes, so no gender is assumed. Choose it if you like rose with some depth and enjoy saffron, resin and vanilla without wanting anything sugary. A good fit for autumn and winter evenings, formal dinners and moments when warmth and a little shadow are welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Amouage Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuidance comes from the Odyssey Collection and carries the house triad of rose, frankincense and ambergris.
