I use the "maceration" excuse to justify my purchases these days. Can't know for sure if I like something until it matures and breathes...... better buy them all at once! Lol For science!!!! Helpful video as always! Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts.
Czesc Paulina ! I confirm I have been binge-eating pieroszki and cheesecake for days ( staying in Zakopane/ Krakow ) . Happily I have a Polish épicerie in Paris to get my favorite food. Guidance is stunning. My advice: save UP to buy it❤
Hej Paulina. Abstrahując od pierogów świątecznych, które kocham opowiem Ci historię. Bardzo późne lato - w biurze zespołowo zamówiliśmy sobie pierogi z jagodami.... finalnie wyszło nam 300 pierogów do zamówienia, bo non stop.sie ktoś dołączał. Wspolny obiad - możesz sobie wyobrazić odgłosy w tej kuchni....mmmmm. pozdrowienia z Łodzi ❤
@@charlenechabas9687 I'd say moderate - for the price I don't mind but maybe 4-5 hours on skin and about 6-7 on clothes for me. I have a sample of Guidance and the performance on that one is a lot stronger so no comparison there.
i have red rocks and i think it’s mouth watering. to me it smells like a candied rose drizzled with a fruit cocktail syrup . it absolutely stays , i sprayed it on my neck and every time i moved i could smell it , so it has a great scent trail. i guess everyone reacts differently to fragrances but if you are on the fence about buying it i highly suggest you do
We don’t always agree Gabby, but I respect the opinions of you and only a few other of the frag ladies on RUclips. The Mouj dupes of Amouage are decent and since I have the originals, plus these 3 dupes, they save me a little money on having to buy niches more frequently, I’m a HEAVY sprayer and they layer very well together. I think they’re pretty good, the Ice Age dupe of Lineage is just ok. The others are pretty good to me. Amouge’s scents are complicated which is why I really like them. As long as I stick with my scent profile, GOURMAND-vanilla, chocolate, sugar, milk, caramel and NUTTY- almond, pistachio etc. The WOODIES-sandalwood, pine, cedar etc. can blind buy just about anything and be happy. Great video!
Guidance is a masterpiece. It is continuously sold out. I have backup bottles❤❤❤. It is one of my most complimented perfumes. The sillage and longevity are phenomenal. I would like to smell the dupe. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Ufff, thats unfortunate:( Im hoping for years now, that Lattafa or one of its brands, will launch Amouage dupes too, thought maybe they are finally good ones, but will see, Lattafa for sure will jump on that train too, as they did with Liam Grey as a Grise Charnel dupe, which i adore for everyday and special occasions, the OG as i do it with alk of my niche fragrances, i search for a great everyday dupe......;)
Paulina I hope you are having a great holiday! I bought the recommendation of Paris Corner Rifaaqaf and I love it. Guidance unfortunately can’t be duped! Thank you
Great topic Paulina. I love Guidance, it is so unique but I cannot justify the price of a full bottle so I just have decants. A dupe would be fantastic but I don't have high hopes of anything coming close. I haven't tried Lineage yet but maybe its worth a small sample after hearing this, thank you!
Happy Holidays to Everyone! I really appreciate Your videos and brutal honesty on the parfums. And I agree Amuage dupes,not a dupes at all, but after week of having,Iceage and Gardens, OMG! It's so creamy and I get coronation ice cream, I love it. Both very nice parfums. I wish You the best time ever! Gods Bless!❤🔥❤🔥🙌😇
I have Francique 107.9: this bottle needs a time 2-4 months for good longevity and stronger fragrance. (As all Arabic perfumes) FA Paris it’s brunch of Fragrance World
Bought both Gardens and Crimson Rocks for 18US each..to see if I would like even like them..since Guidance esp. seems to be so polarizing…and I like both..I refuse to pull a couple of hundred on a blind buy..ijs
As someone who used to advertise Federico Mahora- how would it make you feel if your own fragrances were copied by them and sold for a fraction of a price?
I had plenty of pierogi. This the best meal for Christmas 🎄🎄 to me I loveee it❤❤❤ Also love Amouage Guidance ❤❤❤ before I purchased OG I did tried the ..dupe.. garden and Noooo it wasn't even close to OG. Big disappointment 😞😞
I have Guidance mini and glad I didn’t buy any bigger because my god I can’t stand it. I don’t know why! I can’t get past what smells like pachouli on steroids. Just can’t do it
They're not a waste though. They're good perfumes in their own right, just not dupes. Also, be your own judge. Don't let someone else influence your decision making.... C'mon now.....don't be a sheep.
Pretty sure Ice Age is a dupe for Amouge Crimson Rocks. I found notes for Ice Age online and the notes with it and CR are identical. I’ve never smelled CR before but the reviews on Fragrantica describe Ice Age exactly. Even if IA is not a dupe, the perfume is beautiful! Deep sweetness from honey speckled with cinnamon and suffused with rose. Lovely but not for someone looking for a fling of a fragrance. This one is thoughtful- wise even, which is to say it doesn’t abide by frivolity so don’t look for that in Mouj Ice Age.
@Paulina, do you know any Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum dupe, besides Amber Oud Ruby Edition (just a screechy, sharp something) and Baroque Rouge Extrait (this one i dont get anywhere from Austria), and also not the Orientica one, is there any other good dupe you know?
@@momoika6312 hihi ya, I like Club de Nuit Untold and it needed some time to macerate, but I'm searching now for years, to find a really good Extrait de Parfum dupe, but this flanker seems to be even more challenging to dupe, idk... But thank you🫶💫
@@momoika6312 hey:) Thank you, for your recommendation🫶💫 Club de Nuit Untold I alreday own and like it, but it's an EdP dupe and not an Extrait de Parfum dupe, I have several good to great BR540 EdP dupes, but not a single good one from the Extrait🤦♀️🤌🤪
The two "dupes" for Amouage are not actual dupes for them. Think of them as their own fragrances and then maybe you can get past the part where they smell nothing like what theyre supposed to be duping.
There’s no way someone can dupe Guidance without being a master perfumer. That’s a VERY complex fragrance to duplicate.

I am on a hunt for a rouge smoking dupe. Thankful to you for letting me know not to waste my time.
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS OF DUPES !!!
Can you please do these? ❤
- Milestone Red Cherry
- Maison Alhambra Lovely Chérie
- Emper Privé Tanzanite
Guys, get the blue bottle (Iceage). It is STUNNING!
I also got the Mouj “dupes” and also thought they were nothing like the Amouage ones, but still ended up liking the scents.
How is their performance?
@@charlenechabas9687 I'd say moderate - for the price I don't mind but maybe 4-5 hours on skin and about 6-7 on clothes for me. I have a sample of Guidance and the performance on that one is a lot stronger so no comparison there.
That's good info. I also picked them up. For the price, I don't mind that it's not remotely similar to the OG.

That’s Paulina 😂😂😂
You look so fresh and bright! Really beautiful look! Hope Christmas was good to you!
Gorgeous bottles indeed but thank you for honest reviews!
Ive just ordered iceage and gardens. I don't need to have a dupe as long as they have similarities, so thank you for the suggestions
I just got my perfumes and yes I can confirm they are not dupes but they smell really nice I just hope they have projection and longevity
Hi where did you get ???
I really appreciate your sincerity ❤
Hi Paulina. Whats the max amount of time you wait for the fragrance to macerate before you say.. ok, this isnt getting any better?
If it's not any better after 6 months, it's definitely not going to improve after that!
@@ohcontraire1915Thank you
Hi Paulinar,
I’ve always wondered.. what do you do with the fragrances after reviewing them?
So many bottles..do you resell?
Guidance is a masterpiece. It is continuously sold out. I have backup bottles❤❤❤. It is one of my most complimented perfumes. The sillage and longevity are phenomenal. I would like to smell the dupe. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Did you finally smell the dupes?
Ufff, thats unfortunate:( Im hoping for years now, that Lattafa or one of its brands, will launch Amouage dupes too, thought maybe they are finally good ones, but will see, Lattafa for sure will jump on that train too, as they did with Liam Grey as a Grise Charnel dupe, which i adore for everyday and special occasions, the OG as i do it with alk of my niche fragrances, i search for a great everyday dupe......;)
Search Killer Oud Line by Paris Corner. Unfortunately, they're all men's (good) dupes😬
Paulina I hope you are having a great holiday! I bought the recommendation of Paris Corner Rifaaqaf and I love it. Guidance unfortunately can’t be duped! Thank you
Great topic Paulina. I love Guidance, it is so unique but I cannot justify the price of a full bottle so I just have decants. A dupe would be fantastic but I don't have high hopes of anything coming close. I haven't tried Lineage yet but maybe its worth a small sample after hearing this, thank you!
I have bought Guidance for 235 € on Beautinow.
Would you review the Valaya dupe - Mystique Bouquet from Afnan? The bottle is to die for. 💚
Its spot on.
@@chandracox6814 I know, Thanks, I'm at the midway mark and need another bottle. It's not even summer time yet 😬😂😂
@@chandracox6814agreed. It’s nearly perfect and definitely worth buying
Happy Holidays to Everyone! I really appreciate Your videos and brutal honesty on the parfums. And I agree Amuage dupes,not a dupes at all, but after week of having,Iceage and Gardens, OMG!

Lattafa niche emarati antique is a great dupe for Gris charnel
Agreed
Thank you paulina!
Btw i have to ask- where did you purchase your shirt? ❤
H&M 😁
Do you still think that Emper is a better dupe for Satin Oud? And how is the longevity?
I have Francique 107.9: this bottle needs a time 2-4 months for good longevity and stronger fragrance. (As all Arabic perfumes) FA Paris it’s brunch of Fragrance World
I've tried gardens and it reminds me with prada paradox, would you try them side by side please 😊
Bought both Gardens and Crimson Rocks for 18US each..to see if I would like even like them..since Guidance esp. seems to be so polarizing…and I like both..I refuse to pull a couple of hundred on a blind buy..ijs
Atleast we get something close to the og ❤

I really enjoy Amouage Crimson Rocks I have tried the Mouj men Amouage dupes they are nice tfs
She loves red by DUA is 1:1 dupe or Rouge smoking ❤ but the price for 30 mos is a bit high
Hello 😍💝🌹 Have a nice day
I had plenty of pierogi.
This the best meal for Christmas 🎄🎄 to me
I loveee it❤❤❤
Also love Amouage Guidance ❤❤❤ before I purchased OG I did tried the ..dupe.. garden and Noooo it wasn't even close to OG.
Big disappointment 😞😞
Очень классный дюп на Багровые скалы Амуаж, есть от Fa Paris. Стойкость и шлейф 🔥
Thank you for your honesty review
I have Guidance mini and glad I didn’t buy any bigger because my god I can’t stand it. I don’t know why! I can’t get past what smells like pachouli on steroids. Just can’t do it
Wish I would have had this video before I waisted money on the amouage dupes😢 thanks for your nose.. I will make sure to listen before buying.
They're not a waste though. They're good perfumes in their own right, just not dupes. Also, be your own judge. Don't let someone else influence your decision making.... C'mon now.....don't be a sheep.

I paid 20 dollars in Chile 🇨🇱 for Francique (rouge smoking dupe). Its really inexpensive here.
Ps Danke, for your review!!
The Amouage dupes were a big disappointment. The garden and iceage are at least wearable... no no on the red one.
@Paulina, do you know any Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum dupe, besides Amber Oud Ruby Edition (just a screechy, sharp something) and Baroque Rouge Extrait (this one i dont get anywhere from Austria), and also not the Orientica one, is there any other good dupe you know?
Try armaf untold. But better to try the decant firs. The full bottle needs maturation for a few months.

Hi. How can i buy mouj perfumes? For europe???
CAN YOU TRY AL HARAMAIN RAWA
