What it actually smells like

Pear gives the opening a ripe, juicy sweetness, but hazelnut and frankincense quickly make it feel warmer and more textured than a straightforward fruity floral. Rose sits at the centre alongside jasmine, saffron and osmanthus, creating a dense floral heart with both fruity and softly spiced facets. As it settles, sandalwood, Akigalawood and ambergris add depth while vanilla rounds the dry down with a smooth, creamy sweetness.

Who this is for

Ideal if you enjoy substantial florals with fruit, warmth and a creamy woody base. It suits occasions when you want something distinctive and layered, with enough depth and presence to make the fragrance itself part of the occasion.

Not for you if

You prefer light, transparent florals or simple fruity scents – Guidance is rich, layered and has a strong presence from its pear opening through to its creamy woody dry down.
