Guidance dupes

Quick take

AI-assisted summary of the notes, prices and community notes listed on this page; no bottle was smelled. How this site is made

Try the Oakcha "Saffron Citadel" (Extrait de Parfum) first on price, at $0.8/ml it's the cheapest per ml on file. All three dupes here rest on seller claims rather than any community consensus, so the field is unranked as far as verified accuracy goes. If labelling transparency matters more to you than price, the Oil Perfumery version is the one that names the original outright in its own product title ("impression of Amouage - Guidance"), alongside its format and $1.33/ml price. The Dua Fragrances "The Guide 46" has neither a price nor an explicit reference to Amouage in its listing.

None of the three dupes has its own note breakdown on file, so there's no way to say which notes they add, drop, or emphasise relative to the original's osmanthus, incense, rose, jasmine sambac, ciste labdanum, pear, vanilla, ambergris, saffron and sandalwood. What is known is the format: an extrait, a parfum extract, and a perfume oil, which are different mediums from each other, though the data here doesn't support any claim about how that affects wear or projection.
