Amouage Guidance 46 Extrait De Parfum 100 ml
Description
Enthralling and beguiling, Guidance 46 Exceptional Extrait is a masterful exploration of contrasts—light and shadow, fragility and strength, subtlety and grandeur. These paradoxes are woven together through the art of perfumery, brought to life at an extraordinary 46% oil concentration.
What Makes Guidance 46 an "Exceptional Extrait"?
The fragrance's uniqueness lies in its unprecedented 46% perfume oil concentration, far exceeding the norm for extrait de parfum. While higher concentrations often result in longer-lasting scents, the true impact depends on the formula. Guidance 46 balances its potent oil blend with meticulous craftsmanship:
- Aging Process: The fragrance undergoes a careful four-week aging process, including two weeks of maceration and two weeks of maturation, ensuring every note is fully developed and harmonized.
- Oil-to-Alcohol Ratio: Unlike traditional fragrances, Guidance 46 minimizes alcohol content, maximizing the presence of rich, luxurious oils.
A Spectrum of Notes
- Top Notes: The journey begins with an intricate blend of pear, frankincense, hazelnut, rose water, pink pepper, and bitter almond, creating an inviting yet complex opening.
- Heart Notes: At its core, saffron, rose, sambac jasmine, and osmanthus impart depth, warmth, and floral elegance.
- Base Notes: The base features a rich tapestry of cistus, sandalwood, akigalawood, ambergris, vanilla, ambrette, georgywood, and cypriol, grounding the fragrance in sensuality and sophistication.
A Fragrance Like No Other
With a formula that defies convention, Guidance 46 is a testament to the heights perfumery can reach. Its staggering concentration, meticulous crafting, and exquisite composition deliver a scent experience that is not only long-lasting but profoundly immersive—a true Exceptional Extrait.
