Inspired by Guidance 46 by Amouage, 1946 is a masterpiece of contrasts—delicate yet powerful, sensual yet mysterious. It is a fragrance that celebrates heritage while daring to push boundaries, weaving florals, woods, and resins into a story of timeless allure.

The opening is luminous and intriguing: the juiciness of pear mingles with the nutty warmth of hazelnut and the almond-like bite of bitter almond. A delicate veil of rose water softens the edges, while pink pepper and sacred frankincense add brightness and depth. It is both comforting and exhilarating, like the opening chapter of a legend.

The heart blooms with opulence. Rose glows at the center—lush and velvety—surrounded by the leathery apricot nuance of osmanthus, the golden fire of saffron, and the intoxicating radiance of jasmine sambac. Together, they form a floral chorus that feels regal, sensual, and endlessly captivating.

As it deepens, 1946 reveals its strength in a complex base. Sandalwood and akigalawood provide creamy, spicy woodiness, while ambrette lends a musky warmth. Vanilla softens the darker tones, blending seamlessly with ambergris, labdanum, cypriol, and georgywood to create a smoky, resinous, and luminous drydown. The effect is powerful yet elegant, a lingering trail that clings to memory.

With 46% pure perfume oils, 1946 is not merely a fragrance—it is an Exceptional Extrait. It reimagines Amouage’s sacred triad of rose, frankincense, and ambergris, heightening every contrast and revealing hidden depths.

1946: a scent of legacy and reinvention, where heritage meets mystery, and every note tells a story.
