The Alchemy of Wisdom & Desire

For those who’ve mastered life’s chiaroscuro—Amouage Guidance 46 is an olfactory sonnet to lived-in luxury. Perfumer Karoline Vieth distills 46 years of intuition into a scent that caresses before it grips.

Top: Bergamot oil sliced through with cardamom—a citrus spark meeting spice’s quiet threat.
Heart: Tuberose absolute and jasmine sambac drenched in honeyed amber, blooming slower than sunset on skin.
Base: The reckoning—aged oud and tonka bean fermenting into something between a lullaby and a provocation.

This is fragrance as time’s accomplice: the more it warms on you, the more it reveals secrets you didn’t confess.
