Enthralling and beguiling, Guidance 46 Exceptional Extrait is a study in light and shade, fragility and strength, subtlety and ostentatiousness - paradoxes brought together with an immediacy that can be achieved only by the art of perfumery. Dosed at a staggering 46% concentration.
What makes Guidance 46 an "Exceptional Extrait"?
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer-lasting scent), but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.
Eau de Cologne (EDC) 3% - 10% oils
Eau de Toilette (EDT) 5% - 15% oils
Eau de Parfum (EDP) 15% - 20% oils
Parfum / Extrait 20% - 30% oils
Amouage Guidance 46 - 46% exceptional oils
46% oil concentration, 4 weeks ageing: 2 weeks maceration, 2 weeks maturation
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers, or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
