Guidance 46 by Amouage takes its sibling's pear and hazelnut somewhere darker, adding more rose and a woodier base. Launched in 2024, it has rose water, pear, hazelnut and bitter almond among its top notes, sharpened by pink pepper and frankincense. Osmanthus, rose, saffron and jasmine sambac fill the heart and make it feel plush. The base notes are sandalwood, vanilla, labdanum, ambergris, ambrette and cypriol, with Akigalawood and Georgywood, with a faint oud-like shadow behind it all. Mostly women wear it, though the dense, velvety finish would work on anyone. Voters wear it through autumn and winter, in the evening and late at night, and it is at its best on a night out. Longevity reaches eternal in the community vote. The sillage vote leans strong. It is a lot of perfume, so a 3ml decant is a sensible first step.
