Guidance

this is my first foray into Amouge frags. i definitely don't gravitate to arab houses, mainly bc i fear synthetic notes & at some point in time, i arrived at the conclusion that Arab scents usually smell synthetic to me. there is no synthetic note with Guidance! or if there is, it's blended so beautifully with the other notes that i cannot detect it!

man this fragrance is COMPLEX but it's so well-blended that i can never pick out exactly what it is that i'm smelling. i knew Amouge was a superpower when it comes to creating scents that last & project, so i only spray it on my lower back & lower knees. even so, i am always smelling it thru out the day but every whiff is a slightly different experience. i can never pinpoint the notes (except i think a bit of cinnamon on the top?) or exactly when the notes change but every time i wear it, theres a point in the day that i'll think "ooh! bug spray!" that's the only critique i can offer about this scent & likely the reason i won't attach myself to it like i have with PDM's Valaya.

all that said, Guidance is one of the most abstract, high-quality frags i've ever worn. i am intrigued enough to keep trying this house & possibly even reconsider my bias towards Arab houses:-)

Divine

I love this perfume so much. The frankincense and myrrh are so comforting and grounding. The hazelnut pops off my skin and I fall in love with this every time.

It’s a hit or miss..

When I first read about this fragrance on fragentica, most of the reviews ripped it apart. Yes it’s powdery. It’s strong. And that is exactly why YOU need to test it out on yourself to see if it works for you or not.
For me? I got several compliments every time I wore it. I absolutely love it. It lasts and the dry down on my clothes a few days later is divine. It reminds me of a vanilla chai. I will def be ordering a bigger sample. Don’t let the bad reviews deter you- like with any other perfume, you have to try it for yourself!

If Warm Vanilla Sugar and Missing Person had a baby

I don’t know why I have not seen this in any of the other reviews, but when the scent dried down I got such a strong hit of Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar. I was getting hints of the saffron and a little bit of the comforting vibe I get from Phlur Missing Person, but the finish is all Warm Vanilla Sugar, if maybe a bit more grown. All these people who are saying they’ve never smelled anything like it either forget or were not around when Warm Vanilla Sugar was THE thing. It’s quite strong, lasts long, but the WVS vibes makes it hard for me to justify the price point.

To powdery

Smells like baby powder with some sort of spice to it. I really really wanted to love this one because of all the hype and the bottle I love, it's a hard no for me. Thank God for this site. Trying all day before buying is a must. Everyone's skin reacts differently so don't let my review influence you. It could be different on yours.
