Amouage Guidance 46 Exceptional Extrait

Guidance, pushed to 46% oil — pear and rose water up top, saffron and jasmine in the heart, ambergris and sandalwood holding the finish.

46 Percent

Amouage takes Guidance and loads it to 46% oil — well past standard extrait territory. Four weeks of ageing sit behind the formula: two of maceration, two of maturation. The result is denser projection and a longer trail without rewriting the fragrance's floral-amber spine.

Light Against Shade

Pear and rose water flash first, cut with frankincense, hazelnut, pink pepper, and bitter almond. Saffron, rose, sambac jasmine, and osmanthus thicken the middle. The drydown lands on cistus, sandalwood, akigalawood, ambergris, vanilla, ambrette, georgywood, and cypriol — warm, mineral, and deliberately overbuilt.

The Bottle

A 100 ml flacon in a peach-to-terracotta gradient, fluted dome cap, gold collar, and the house crest. Built for formal evenings and rooms that can take a serious sillage. Sold through Amouage boutiques and amouage.com.
