Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Ambition Guideline lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Guidance.
Volare 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 $40 it costs 90% less than Guidance.
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 Volare 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
- akigalawood
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.
