This fragrance stunned me. I’ve never smelt something so delicate and feminine that also has such an animalic sexy touch. It’s so perfectly balanced.
Guidance, Honor Woman, Material and Epic 56 are in my collection. They are all masterpieces!
This is a refreshing review about Guidance which I also feel is quite honest. Ordering a decant of this now😊
Thanks for talking about Twisted Lily!!!!! Love this site.
Thanks for the review! Great video😍

I adore this scent. Like nothing else I’ve ever experienced. Find myself smelling my wrists and honestly, I get glorious wafts of it swirling around me throughout the day which shows it has nice silage. As for longevity, *yes.* I smell it on my clothes / jacket days later - which is not a bad thing imo 🌸💫

This fragrance was a rollercoaster ride for me. The opening threw me off so I put the decant on my dresser and forgot about it. 2 weeks later I was bored and decided to spray it again, still hated the opening but the dry down began to grow on me. The next day I woke up and almost craved it 😮 I needed it! Now it’s one of my favorites and it will never leave my collection. I can’t wear it as an every day fragrance tho. I can only wear it when I’m in a certain mood

When the fragrance girlies started talking about this I didn't think it would love for me but I got a sample and WOW just Wow it is so beautiful and it's so crazy I thought I wouldn't like it
Creamy! thats the word! I smell and feel this perfume absolutelly like you🌹 I got a bottle- LOVE creamy perfumes!
The packaging is beautiful
My favorite purchase of 2023 and so far still my favorite in 2024 ❤️
This reminds me of the “Babycat” of last year. Not in the scent profile, but in the “do I like this…do I not like this very expensive fragrance”?!?! 😂😂. I love Amouage….but….do I like this?! 😂😂 Thank you for your review. 🥰
I’m not a heavy sprayer and I still get compliments from strangers whenever I wear it. I love it. 🤗

I bought it because I am such a Quentin Bisch fan. Wasn’t sure at first - liked it, but wasn’t sure about its lasting power. Started to wear it more as we transitioned from Autumn in Australia to Winter and everytime I wear it I get a compliment! I can’t smell it on me as much as everyone else can and apparently it leaves quite the scent trail! I have used about 30% of my bottle and will repurchase for sure. It is always going to be in my fragrance collection. ❤

I’m obsessed. I was waiting for this. Cuz so many people got missed reviews on this guidance. Karina what do you think of Louis Vuitton ombré nomande? If you have sampled it, I will like to hear your review. I got it today, it’s dark and sexy and quiet masculine but they are saying women wear it. I’m gonna sample guidance. Looks like I might love it.

Yes the reviews on this one are definitely very much up and down. So far I’m really loving it. As for LV I have samples that scent and it’s super luxurious and seductive but for me personally it was too masculine
Really gorgeous fragrance!!! But I found it so strong!!!! I have to be carefull. I don't even do 2 sprays... I take my decant and use it as a dabber. I've made one time the mistake to spray 4 times before work... coworkers was not thay happy. Its too much a strong scent😅😅Anyway, thank you for sharing❤
I tried this yesterday in ginza matsuya nose shop,it’s so strong and a little bit powdery, I can’t recall it have a same scent I smelled before. Sunshine is still my favorite from the brand 😘

Does the bottom of your Guidance bottle start with a G or an H? They reformulated guidance recently and I’m curious to know what you have. The just released the extrait version of guidance today
Overture woman, guidance, lineage and sunshine woman are my favs from the house ❤

Hey Karina, let's hear your thoughts on this one
Love from the first snif for me❤
The opening is so strange but I will say I prefer guidance opening over instant crush…wish I got the 100ml but wasn’t willing to splurge over £300 in case it wasn’t for me. The powderiness reminds me of poudre by Narciso.
Yes, just got a decant and its very much a skin scent. 3 sprays and its barely detectable. I hoped for something with a bit more umph:(

I have a decant of it. There is a note from the beginning to the end that is constant ,it sure develops, but that particular note is kinda annoying to me, it maybe the frankincense or the hazelnut, am not sure but it's irritating to my nostrils but l will continue to test it.
@brenee82

I get the same thing. I wonder if it’s a temp issue… I didn’t get it when I tried it at NM and it was freezing in there. I only really get it when it’s warm. I was thinking it was the osmanthus because that note bothers me sometimes, but it may be the sandalwood
@m.h.1593

I got that too at the beginning, kinda like almonds, and it bothered me, but when I got to the dry down it became a more creamy floral with a hint of wood.
I got woody hazelnut in the dry down.. smells a bit masculine (to my nose), and it’s a BEAST. It’s a no from me.
I had a sample of this on me and my 16 year old son and husband could not stand the smell. My son said I smell like an old lady😅. I am so glad I did not invested in this fragrance lol!
