Guide is a floral, powdery, earthy scent created for Men and Women in 2024 by perfumer Michael Foerster.
Review
This scent starts out kind of sweet and aromatic. The juicy qualities of Pomegranate and Tangerine blend well with the creaminess of Orris in the heart. The Raspberry in the base keeps things light, while a touch of Sandalwood adds a gentle depth. The scent has a delicate quality to it that feels innocent and comforting. The soft fruitiness of the scent recalls the aroma of scented doll hair, which brings a child-like vibe to the senses. Even with this comparison, this is absolutely a universal fragrance. It is slightly muted but has a well-rounded quality that will make it last. It is a scent that can be worn any time, place or occasion, and will work in any weather. It has subtle similarities to La Capitale from Xerjoff and Casmir from Chopard.
Inspiration
Guide’s bottle is adorned with the Deer, a symbol of grace and elegance. The scent invites you to let your senses lead the way, and is ideal for those looking to release their own inner elegance.
Notes
This scent opens with a bright and juicy blend of Pomegranate, Tangerine and Bergamot. A floral heart of Rose, Jasmine and Orris mellow the tangy qualities of the citruses, and, along with Heliotrope in the base, develop a gently creamy and powdery essence. Raspberry is found in the base of this scent, helping to keep the sweet lightness lingering, while Sandalwood adds a subtly creamy woodiness that brings just the right amount of earthy depth.
