The Guide begins with the juicy sweetness of Pear, softened by the nutty richness of Hazelnut and the resinous warmth of Frankincense. The opening feels creamy and luminous, with a subtle depth that keeps the sweetness from becoming too playful. As it settles, Saffron brings a warm golden edge while Rose, Jasmine Sambac, and Osmanthus add a plush floral character with a delicate fruity softness.
The heart gradually becomes richer on the skin, with the florals wrapped in the smooth warmth of Sandalwood and the earthy character of Cistus. Akigalawood adds a peppery, woody texture, giving the fragrance a darker contrast against its creamy sweetness.
In the dry down, Ambergris and Vanilla leave a warm, velvety trail, while Sandalwood and Akigalawood keep the sweetness grounded. The Guide feels elegant, comforting, and quietly captivating, a beautiful Amouage Guidance dupe for evenings when you want your fragrance to linger. ✨ Buy yours now before the stock runs out!

My first Dua Fragrances and it was spot on to my original! Wow I’m ordering more duas now! Love it!!
Will continue to buy this over and over and over. It’s better and stronger every time
Even when I can't smell it on myself anymore, I'm still getting compliments. It's a showstopper!
This is almost identical to the OG! I own both and I would say it is 90% alike. The Og has a more prominent Turkish rose scent and a more powdery smell to it compared to The Guide. This is a great dupe if you were interested in buying the real thing, this is definitely one to buy. Not everyone will like this scent profile and not really blue buy safe as it’s potent, but I love it!
Absolutely obsessed with this. To my nose this is 99.999% identical to the OG. So so SO beautiful 😍
First it is not good, it is mix pf something sour, but the dry down is beautiful for my opinion.
Such a beautiful and unique fragrance that takes you on a journey.
There is a little dirty note in the beginning but just wait 20 minutes and it gets so much better. Once this fragrance dries down and blooms it’s a little floral with incense and it’s so sexy… I need a BUB ASAP! I have a sample of the OG and I purchased The Guide and they are Identical! So happy with my purchase as so will you!!
It’s a beautiful scent! Starts out with a strong metallic smell, but the floral dry-down is amazing.
Great fragrance and super close to the original fragrance for an affordable price. I could smell for 6+ hours.
First of all, I can’t believe how accurate this fragrance is. 95% possibly more. And yes, I have the OG. It keeps getting better and better - and I love all the creamy, floral, nutty, lactonic notes together with just a touch of resin to add sophistication and spirituality. The value is unparalleled. I have made such a big dent already! I will definitely be back for more!
This is amazing.im not one who's good at describing,and identifying separate notes,but I know when it smells good,and this smells good good,and its very long lasting.i sprayed it on me over 10hrs ago,and it's still performing.its a very comforting, sweet scent.i can smell the pear, and the hazelnut,but that's where it stops for my nose detector🤣,all the other added notes makes The Guide a very interesting fragrance,I've never smelled anything like it. All I know is that ,this it definitely worthy to be owned,and qualifies for a bub
This fragrance smells very close to Guidance long lasting and the Sillage is Omazing, I’m so happy I bought this fragrance and much cheaper then the original!
Smells really good!
Nice. Close to the original, gives you the vibes of the O.G. Id say 85% to 90% accuracy.
Will definitely be buying AGAIN!!! She is wonderful! Compliments left and right! Yall popped off with this one!
Shipping took way too long for this order
Lovely fragrance. Very much like Guidance by Amouage and I now appreciate it as much as Amouage’s originals.
I finally found the scent i have been looking for since forever
Super strong! Lasted hours!
I don't even want to share how good this is because I want it all for myself. People ask me what I'm wearing everywhere I go. Customer service is great too. The beans are cool.
Smells amazing
Great fragrance. Let it macerate a few weeks. I keep it in the refrigerator for about a week or two. I wish they offer 10 ml option so you can try out a variety and settle down on your long term choices.
I want more of The Guide! Please please never stop making it.
Such a beautiful fragrance.
I've heard all the buzz about this being a dupe for Guidance. I do not have the original. I do not need the original. Thank God I got two bottles of this perfume. I love it!!! I can't stop smelling myself!!! When I first sprayed it I thought I smelled pickle juice. I had heard that about Guidance as well. I waited for the dry down and definitely was not disappointed!!! I understand now why this one's sold out. I will always have a backup bottle. This is going to be my everyday perfume and I have a lot of really nice perfumes. This is so different and so captivating. Thank you Dua! Great job!
Bring this back ASAP PLEAAAASSE! I got a few uses out of it and dropped it on the floor when it fell out of my purse when in a hurry. I’m desperate because this is my favorite.
Gorgeous perfume which I reach for weekly - its very unique, sweet yet woody. Its very comforting and delicious. It gets better every week.
🍷 Floral, floriental divas this is a must. It’s a classic woodsy, floral, dry down with a soft saffron leather base, but the opening is what snatched me up 🤩 The opening is this bright, juicy, pear with sweet, honied osmanthus quickly following. The honey note isn’t too forward like I found with 421 Femme it trickles in the background adding the perfect sweetness. This isn’t a floral that’s headache inducing nor an overly sickly sweet rose like a lot of TF rose fragrances. It’s exceptionally well blended and wearable the first day. All notes play beautifully with one another. It’s not too sweet, not too bright and not too woodsy or floral just an easy wear.
The Best Guidance Dupe No other dupe comes close to The guide. This is so intense and very strong; just as BEASTMODE as the original guidance. I’ll say it is back up bottle worthy. I get compliments whenever I wear it.
This is such a beautiful fragrance!
Stunning! This is so, so beautiful!! It is elegant and sophisticated and feminine. I have found my signature scent. Please dont ever stop making this!!
This is such a beautiful fragrance and my first from the DUA brand. I wore it in public for the first time and a woman trailed me until she finally asked what perfume I was wearing. She kept lingering around as if she was trying to enjoy the fragrance as long as she could. I smelled the original instore quite a while back and it seems very similar based on what I remember. The Guide is such a stunner. It is a sweet Floral with a grown woman vibe. It really stands out. Thanks DUA!
This perfume snuck up on me. Initially, I felt she was a little too sharp and strong but once that dry down hit…. Wooo! I’ve gotten so many compliments on her that I had to buy a BUB! She’s a keeper for sure.
Growing to love this day by day.
50ml or 100ml please Wow…. I’m impressed. I have the original and this one is so similar… wonderful inspiration…I need a bigger bottle please
PLEASE RESTOCK!!!!! I’ve been waiting forever!!!!!!
NEED THIS BACK ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!! Please restock asap!!! I would love to add this baby to my 40+ collection. I’m a loyal customer and would greatly appreciate it!!!! Would also love to be notified when it will be back!!
When do you plan on bringing this back When do you plan on bringing this back? Need!
