Guidance

UnisexBy Quentin BischRated 3.8/5 · 8,577 reviews

pear · hazelnut · olibanum

Guidance opens on pear and hazelnut, then olibanum adds a clear resin. A heart of osmanthus, rose and saffron settles over a luminous jasmine sambac. The base of sandalwood, vanilla, akigalawood, ambergris and labdanum wraps the skin in warm, amber woods. Wear it on cool autumn evenings, when the trail stays close to you.
