7.0

/10

Guidance 46 is a polarizing Amouage fragrance that delivers stunning results when it performs optimally, earning passionate praise for its sophisticated blend. However, the community reports widespread batch quality inconsistencies and olfactory fatigue issues that require patience and sometimes weeks of maceration before the scent becomes fully detectable, making it a risky blind buy at its premium price point.

Negative

Inconsistent performance across batches, particularly with newer bottles
