I recently purchased a sample of this and I AM IN LOVE! I couldnt stop smelling myself. It smells soo good and my partner said I smelled good in it. I didn’t pair it with anything else. I do not smell any moth-ball or bus seats.

Oh my gosh. It’s so beautiful. I absolutely LOVE this fragrance!! Such a creamy sweet slightly nutty rosy sandalwood. So beautiful. Toooooo many sprays lol. Get compliments EVERY TIME I wear it!! A complete masterpiece. Revisit it in the spring summer.

I liked it, it was okay for me, I didn’t love it, and wasn’t interested in purchasing it. But then, I received compliments like crazy about how good I smelled when I tested it and went to meet some people after. The scent rubbed off from my arm (where I sprayed the tester), to the sleeve of my blouse. And I wore the same blouse a few days later to a casual family gathering, and again, received compliments! A male cousin asked me what it was so he could get it for his wife. He almost didn’t believe me when I told him I wasn’t actually wearing perfume that day, it was a perfume I was testing days earlier that accidentally got on my blouse. Such a longevity and sillage beast. It’s making me consider getting a 50ml bottle. I have never gotten so many enthusiastic compliments over a perfume in my life. It’s crazy. I wish I could smell what they were smelling. To me it’s a pleasant sandalwood-pudding creamy-powdery scent with the tiniest pinch of salt from the ambergris.

Honestly, if you put it in a gorgeous blush pink luxury bottle and charge $300-400 for it, fragcomm is going to lose their minds trying to love it, regardless of the scent. (Looking at you, Delina.) It’s perfectly engineered for hype. Expecting a massive Guidance declutter in 3 months.

Guidance is polarising but it’s my biggest obsession, it doesn’t seem as strong to me now I’m used to it, the opening is quite sour but after 20mins people think it’s quite sweet and powdery. I hardly venture out of the house as I work from home but 3 weeks ago I went shopping and while I left a shop these 2 ladies where saying “excuse me, excuse me” literally out of breath 😂 they said we’ve been chasing you “ you smell absolutely unreal, we need to know what it is”. I guess it’s like catnip for some and kryptonite for others. I put a little in a decant on my side table when I first had, then I got obsessed I had to spray everyday. Hopefully you may grow to love if not send it my way lol

I’m only in the first 10 seconds of your video and I wish I saw your video BEFORE I blind bought the 100ml. I learned my lesson. This ends my blind buy experience. That opening note is sooooo funky and the way you described it is exactly what I smelled. Especially, the scent of the wash rag & moth balls. I feel so much better that someone else feels the same because as you said there were no negative reviews.

It's the Hazelnut note in Guidance that I find off-putting and it's too strong.. but besides that it's a beautiful fragrance. Amouage is one of the highest quality fragrance houses around today. Try some of their other fragrances.. they are divine 💓 Happy New Year 🌠🎄🌸

@elishatreacy4704 6 ай бұрын

Thank you for the Honest video. I feel the same. I wanted to love this fragrance. It's weird. I liked the scent that lingered in the envelope that my sample came in (mixed with Bianco Latte). But this on my skin is not right. Those that say this needs to be layered....why would I spend $360 for a grafrance that MUST be layered. No thanks.

@coffeeandscents9666 5 ай бұрын

I love your description and I completely agree that there is something offputting in the fragrance. I’m laughing at the moldy wash rag. Luckily I didn’t get that. I get a creamy , salty nutty floral but there was a pencil shaving note in it for me that I couldn’t get out of my Nose. I don’t personally think it smells dirty. Sometimes people say sandalwood can smell like pickles or vinegar so maybe that’s what threw you off??? 😢sorry it didn’t work out.

I bought it today because of so many recommendations here on KZfaq. I went to Neiman’s, I smelled it and I thought it was sweet and good. The sales lady sold me the big bottle. When I got home my husband told me he doesn’t like it at all and to return it before I open it. I will do that tomorrow for sure. I keep smelling it on my hand even though I sprayed it 8 hours ago. It’s just a sweet powdery old grandma smell but that’s it. It didn’t get any better since I sprayed it.

Amouage is so expensive, it is soooooo important to test on the skin many days before you take the decision to buy it. I remember the first time I tried this fragrance on my skin, I didn`t enjoy it at all, and it is so long lasting…… After some months I tried again on my skin ( due to the hype… ) and I enjoyed, but not enough for me to purchased it, gave me a little bit of main stream sweet nutty scent like Girl Of Now edp from Elie Saab. They do not smell the same at all, I meant that nutty sweetness that lingers, the same vibe.

I’m always hesitant about blind buy with fragrances. Because some perfumes perform differently on everyone. I always like to go and test a fragrance on my skin first before I buy it online. That happens to me once. And also, everyone is different when it comes to scents notes in perfumes. It’s a risk when you blind buy.
