What the gurus are saying

This fragrance draws strong praise for its incense note, which creators say smells completely unlike incense they know from everyday life, lending the scent something almost mystical and utterly distinctive. Both who've tried it love it, though they note it's polarizing, the kind of perfume people either adore or find too unusual. If you're drawn to genuinely unconventional scents with real presence and compliment-worthy staying power, this lands in that rare bracket.

"I started wearing this a few months ago and I love it so much. On first impression it really smelled like rhubarb to me, which is not my usual, but there is a kind of soft woody undertone, bit of rose, definitely sandalwood. I've never had so many compliments in my life. I feel like if you know me well by now you kind of know what kind of scents I like, and it fits in that bracket for sure."

"If you're interested in trying really new things or you're interested in a perfume that you've not quite smelled anything like it like ever probably you should consider Amouage Guidance. Every time I use it there's always like you smell so different. One of the notes that you get with this is incense and I remember like I know what incense smells like, but for me the only place I'll smell incense is in church and I remember the first time that I smelled this I was like what is this and I never knew that incense could be in something I smell as good as it does outside of how I know incense to smell. This is so different there's something like almost mystical about this like it's crazy. There are just two types of people for this like you can stand it or you absolutely love it or you hate it but it's a very very good perfume."
