Mouj Gardens

**UPDATE: I purchased like 12-10 mL samples for about $10 so win! And I have been spraying on my fabric bathroom shower curtain. My husband? Hates it. He says it smells like an old lady. But I am going chalk that up to too many sprays. Why? I love this smell. It's comforting, cozy, but not too warm. Truly a sensual fresh type vibe. _________________________________________________ I I got a 10mL travel size as a present and here's what I have to say. I do not own Guidance, but I do own Maison Alhambra's Decadent Dream (which is about 90% similar to the OG)--and this fragrance is a distant cousin...at best! Yes, they both have a hazelnut note, but that's about where the commonality ends! Especially since I do not smell the hazelnut note in this AT ALL! I LOVE this fragrance. On my skin it sits light and green; true to it's Gardens name. This brings a feeling of that fancy place you have brunch at with the beautiful fresh flowers. That's what this smells like. It's warm but not heavy or hard to wear, it's not overly sweet, it's honestly so good. I'm looking forward to obtaining a full bottle and getting rid of my Decadent Dream.

I totally agree with the reviews below: this has NOTHING of the Guidance DNA, except for the lovely bottle... The juice itself is very pleasant. They threw the arrow opposite of the target , and nailed a shiny délicate butterfly instead 😁

Surprisingly decent. Mine was a $20 tester bottle. I have not smelled the OG Amouage Guidance, and so I can’t speak to the similarity despite the notes being identical on both fragrance profiles. However, it’s a pleasant light and woody floral that I think most would like. Longevity and sillage are both solid.

I dont get much woodiness from it, mostly floral, a little bit sweet. I dont get hazelnut either. The pear disappears quite quickly. Its nicely blended, nothing special. Very safe floral.

So I don’t own Guidance but I smelled it and I did not like it at all, and these two have nothing in common. If anything, it smells like Prada Paradox, almost 1:1. I blind bought this perfume not knowing what to expect and I loved it. It is light and feminine. I was wearing it a lot when I got it and I think it is my most complimented perfume. I did have a Paradox decant laying around somewhere that I found one day and while I was in a hurry I sprayed it and I felt something familiarity. Then I put Paradox and Gardens side by side and they were so close, that I couldn’t tell which one is which.
