Guidance, a Rich Rose Oud

Amouage Guidance is a rich rose oud scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot and saffron before a rose, jasmine, and vanilla heart settles over oud, amber, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Amouage built Guidance as a bold, opulent scent, all rich rose and warm vanilla over smoky oud. The idea was a luxurious, dramatic Arabian elegance.

That rich opulence is its appeal. The bergamot and saffron give it a bright, spicy lift, the rose and vanilla make it warm and floral, and the oud and amber give it a smoky depth. Our interpretation follows that same luxurious path.
