The review
Strong contender. That is where Guidance #470 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Guidance.
The Dupe Spot 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.
It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $36 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Guidance — the cheapest of 9 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.

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.
