Guidance, made by Amouage, is a sweet and nutty floral with serious depth. The top notes pair pear with hazelnut and olibanum, gentle and nearly edible, with incense running underneath. The heart notes bring osmanthus, rose, saffron and jasmine sambac, a warm bouquet. Sandalwood, vanilla, akigalawood, ambergris and labdanum form the base notes, smooth and gently resinous, and it finishes powdery and balsamic. Dating from 2023, it is mostly worn by women, although that creamy warmth is not strictly feminine. Voters pick it for autumn and winter, after dark, and going out is the occasion that comes up. Longevity is voted eternal with clear agreement. Sillage tilts towards strong in the community vote, so go lightly. Spend a week of evenings with a 3ml decant and see how it settles on you.

The community verdict
Pear, hazelnut and olibanum give Guidance a juicy, nutty start before rose, saffron and sandalwood settle in. Most find it exceptionally long-lasting, while projection divides between strong and room-filling. It suits autumn nights out, with winter and evenings working too; go light if you prefer a softer presence, though it can draw compliments.
