Product Description
Habit Rouge is a classic fragrance for men which was launched in 2003. This is a reorchestrated version of the original fragrance from 1965. the nose behind it isJean Paul Guerlain. The composition is based on the harmony of fresh and intense citruses in the top (lime, orange and bergamot) and warm oriental balsamic notes in the base. The smoky and leathery nuances in the final notes are contrasting with the juicy beginning. The sophisticated heart is composed of flowers, precious woods with a warm touch of cinnamon.

A classic – I admit I remembered Habit Rouge much sweeter and was very surprised by the low quantity of vanillin in the formula and was even suspicious at first. But a week after mixing it, I am wearing an 15% concentration of it and I remembered now what was so special about it – the combination of sharp citrus with opoponax (which on its own is not sweet) makes this a magical resinous perfume like no other. It is truly a masterpiece which is hard to beat. The formulae has a mix of naturals and synthetics as you would expect from a Guerlain balanced really well. I made the mistake in my first mixture of swapping vetiver with vetiveryl acetate and the result was interesting but you could immediately see why Guerlain didn’t use so much vetiver and went to the acetate. Highly recommended and given that it is a free formula, it is a must for any perfumery student!
