Habit Rouge is what took me from a casual cologne wearer to an admirer of olfactive expressions of art. Zesty, shimmering, bright opening giving way to a warm heart of woods, spice, and a dusting of florals, resting on what is my favorite part: a sensual base of leather, vanilla, amber, oak moss, and incense.

One of my female friends loves to wear Habit Rouge & they “look” so good together. She has a sunny disposition, she´s optimistic & light-hearted – and Habit Rouge is a perfect fit for a woman like her. The fragrance is fresh, herbal, slightly spicy, semisweet & smoky, in short – casual & sophisticated.

LEMON! That’s how it opens…smack! Quite surprisingly the opening lasts a lot longer than what you might be used to with top notes. Then a beautiful rose and sandlewood kicks in, quality ingredients here. Wait a little longer and the vanilla comes through. This is a classic, love it! Very elegant.

Main notes according to me – lemon,vanilla,rose,carnation, leather,cinnamon,sandalwood,benzoin. The drydown is moderatly sweet,leathery,powdery and resinous and I get some -vanilla,leather,benzoin and sandalwood

Blind buy. Quality, sillage and longevity very good. But it’s nothing I could wear, too much of the wrong flower. No safe blind buy imho.

Every positive thing that’s said about this…is true! I don’t know why or how I’ve put off getting this until now. The drydown on my skin is simply fantastic! I’m glad I got the 200 ml bottle–I’ll be wearing this a lot!
