Guerlain Habit Rouge Parfum was launched in 2024 - a richer version of the original classic. Created by Delphine Jelk, it has notes of woods, spice, vanilla, rum, patchouli. This is the parfum strength. We have fallen in love with this at STC - the men, the women, everyone. It is not often they redo a classic and have it be this great, but, well, it is.
From the brand - "To reinterpret Habit Rouge’s iconic amber fragrance, Guerlain’s perfumers have turned to the world of spirits as an inspiration. Drawing upon the emblematic notes and the spellbinding yet bold aesthetic of this world that shares so much with perfumery, this fragrance is crafted from an exceptional selection of highly concentrated ingredients to create a scent of unparalleled seduction." and "As the first amber fragrance to be created for men, Habit Rouge was inspired by equestrianism, the pastime that was dear to its creator, Jean-Paul Guerlain. First released in 1965, Habit Rouge’s woody, spicy fragrance enveloped with round vanilla became an olfactory symbol of French elegance.
Taking its inspiration from the bold intensity of bourbon, Habit Rouge Le Parfum opens with the rich tonalities of a rum accord, followed perfectly with Guerlain’s unique vanilla tincture that is made according to its own special in-house process. Set alongside patchouli, it’s this vanilla tincture that lends Habit Rouge’s signature its unparalleled depth."
Fragrantica- "OMG Guerlain have knocked it out the park with this one. Seriously. Like bathing in a smooth, boozy, syrupy marmalade. I also got a whiff of chocolate? Gorgeous stuff, with terrific performance. 'Traditional' HR was targetted at blokes but to me this is unisex."
Fragrantica - "Bought this within 5 minutes after trying it for the first time today. It made me travel to a place far back in time, and this is what perfumery is all about. Super elegant, classy French perfumery. Very long lasting and projecting great, but is never obnoxious. A sparkling and effervescent bergamot top note gives way to the classic Guerlain vanilla. The sweetness is balanced through spices, a slight booziness from the rum accord adds further depth to this composition. Hints of patchouli in the dry down."
Fragrantica - "This is a banger"
Fragrantica - "My favourite parfum from the 3 new offerings. I'd wear this as a woman. Reminds me a bit of tonka imperiale. Warm, inviting."
