Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette

Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette by Guerlain is a timeless, elegantly complex fragrance that blends citric freshness with warm, ambery depth, evoking a richly textured, vintage elegance. It opens with a vibrant citrus burst—lemon, bergamot, and tangerine—balanced by a subtle basil herbaceous note, creating a fresh yet refined start. This transitions smoothly into a warm, velvety core of rose, cinnamon, and sandalwood, where the air fills with a softly powdery, indulgent vanilla and leather nuance. As it settles, the enhancement of amber, benzoïn, and labdanum gives a dusky, balsamic richness that enhances the longevity, while the dry down reveals a softly earthy, softly animalic leather that lingers with quiet sophistication. The scent is simultaneously bold and restrained—definitely unisex, but leans masculine in spirit, linking modern minimalism with old-world grandeur. It is not instantly accessible; its appeal unfolds gradually, building upon the wearer’s confidence and maturity, making it best suited for occasion wearing and personal moments rather than daily use. It offers high projection and endurance, but builds gently—ideal for colder months, formal occasions, or when embracing subtle sophistication.
