Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Guidance 125 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Guidance.

Lorinna Paris sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Guidance's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $46 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Guidance — the 5th cheapest of 14 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lorinna Paris publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: pear, hazelnut and olibanum up top, osmanthus, rose and saffron in the middle, sandalwood, vanilla and akigalawood underneath — the shape of Amouage Guidance.

Top

  • pear
  • hazelnut
  • olibanum

Heart

  • osmanthus
  • rose
  • saffron

Base

  • sandalwood
  • vanilla

Juicy pear and apricot-toned osmanthus over creamy sandalwood — polished, radiant and modern.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
