It starts with very classic lemon and lime, like old colognes such as Boucheron Pour Homme or Eau Sauvage. After 15 minutes, the lemon becomes slightly soapy as the florals emerge, especially the rose which takes the lead (I do not detect the clove clearly). With the florals comes the heart phase: they take the spotlight while the citrus gives way to woods and spices. Here it smells very much like Shalimar Parfum Initial. In the base, there is a duel between leather, benzoin, and a wood of oud not listed (a subdued and softened oud by the surrounding notes) and the vanilla, which directs the whole show. The trail is moderate for the first two hours and then it clings to the skin. It lasts about 7 or 8 hours. Scent: 8.5/10, Trail: 6/10, Longevity: 7/10, Versatility: 7/10, Overall: 7/10.
It begins with very classic lemon and lime, reminiscent of Boucheron Pour Homme or Eau Sauvage. After 15 minutes, the lemon becomes slightly soapy as the florals emerge, particularly the rose which shines the most (I do not detect the clove distinctly). With the florals comes the heart phase, where they take command and the citrus yields to woods and spices; here it smells very much like Shalimar Parfum Initial. In the dry down, there is a good balance between leather, benzoin, and a background oud not listed (softened and quiet) with the vanilla which orchestrates everything. The trail is moderate for the first two hours and then it clings to the skin. It lasts about 7 or 8 hours. Scent: 8.5/10, Trail: 6/10, Longevity: 7/10, Versatility: 7/10, Overall: 7/10.
Habit Rouge EDP is elegant, deep, and discreet. Like the EDT, it starts powdery and citrusy, but with a touch of oud. It remains woody, lacking that hazelnut note found in the EDT. You can detect the clove, jasmine, and a hint of cinnamon. It is the most oriental version of the original, with that herbal base that adds class. I recommend it for informal events with weight, such as a concert or a dinner at a special venue, not for an interview as it is too glamorous. The name refers to the jacket worn by French cavalrymen; it smells of the strength of horses, the earth of a gallop, and the elegance of the rider. The only downside is the projection: after two hours, it stays close to the skin (my experience). It then lasts a long time, but for an EDP of this calibre, the projection could be better. It suits any age; if you are young, you simply need personality.
It projects less brightly than the EDT but gains in woody depth. Notes of neroli and blooming jasmine, with a base of leather and oud softened by vanilla and patchouli. It is a bespoke suit: balanced, elegant, and very refined. Nothing but praise; I am a fanatic; it is the best on my skin. There are differences between EDP and EDT; I use both, but I could not be without either, especially this one. The 100ml comes with a red cap and the 200ml with a silver one. If you like oriental scents, try Habit Rouge (this review is of a 2011 bottle, reformulated several times). I bought it for £10; here in Argentina, it is not available. Trail 10, projection 10, longevity 10. Perhaps it shows that I like it, but I LOVE it. Warm regards from Argentina.
Its opening has less sparkle than the EDT, but it is more woody. Notes of neroli and jasmine, with a base of leather, oud, vanilla and patchouli. It is a bespoke suit: balance, elegance and very refined. Praise, praise and more praise; I am a fanatic, it is the best on my skin. There are differences between EDP and EDT; I use both and lack neither, but less so this one. The 100ml has a red cap, the 200ml a silver one. If you like oriental scents, try Habit Rouge. I know it has been reformulated several times; this review is of a 2011 bottle. Purchase price 10, not available in Argentina. Sillage 10, projection 10, longevity 10. Perhaps it shows that I like it, and I like it SO much! Warm regards from Argentina.
It is said that Habit Rouge is the masculine Shalimar; they share an air. But I like it more; it is less smoky and sweet. Habit Rouge is tinkling, in the style of Gucci Eau de Parfum, a dance of cold and hot notes that generates a delicate and unruly spicy tickle. Every time the nose detects it, you squint. It is like a hummingbird that after pollinating takes a fresh nap. It is a binge of good things followed by rest in air conditioning. Years ago I used it non-stop; my friends would bring me down. Of this, they did not say it smelled old, but terrible things: like a woman, an old woman, a great-grandmother, makeup, Pravia Hay cologne revived, children’s sweets, talcum powder, and a coffin. It was the era of Le Male, Pi, and Au Masculin, so appearing with this velvet lotion among friends bathed in party perfumes put me in a difficult position. I laughed and moved on. Habit Rouge is a masterpiece. Delicate, exquisite, food for the soul, and a Guerlain classic that withstands the passage of time. It does not smell outdated; it smells new, like ideas, like youth, like pure beauty, like perfection and utopia. It is refreshing and powdery, almost edible. It has aftertastes of fresh lemon tart, wet skin, and balsamic leather. It smells of luxury, of expensive, of something so beautiful it hurts because it is a dream. Years ago I bought a bottle; it smelled of light water sanitised, the girl at Sephora changed it because it was not perfume, nor body mist. I have not returned for fear they have disfigured it as the great French houses do. As a critic says: ‘Habit Rouge makes most current perfumes seem like air fresheners’. For me, it is one of the best perfumes Guerlain has ever birthed.
It is said that Habit Rouge is the male version of Shalimar. Well, they share an air, but I prefer this one; it is less smoky and sweet. Habit Rouge is tinkling, in the style of Gucci Eau de Parfum, with cold and hot notes clashing to create a delicate, restless spicy tickle. It is like a binge of good things followed by a siesta in air-conditioned silence. Years ago I used it non-stop and my friends would take me to task. With this one, people didn’t say it smelled old, but rather of a woman, an old woman, make-up, Pravia Hay cologne, children’s sweets, talcum powder and a coffin. That was the era of Le Male and Au Masculin, so wearing it among partying friends put me on the spot. I just laughed. Habit Rouge is a masterpiece: delicate, exquisite, food for the soul. It does not smell old-fashioned; it smells new, of ideas, youth, pure beauty and utopia. Refreshing and powdery, almost edible. Flavourings of lemon tart, wet skin and balmic leather. It smells of luxury and of something perfect that hurts because it is a dream. Years ago they swapped my Sephora for a body mist that wasn’t perfume. I haven’t returned since, fearing they have disfigured it like the current formula of the great French houses. As one critic says: ‘Habit Rouge makes most current perfumes seem like air fresheners’. For me, it is one of the best perfumes Guerlain has ever birthed.
Finally I have it after much hesitation. I tried it first in EDT and it seemed acidic, almost like lemon with vinegar and sweat. But after trying it more, I found the right spot and discovered the EDP. There were no testers in Tenerife, so I left it until I found one in the duty-free at the airport. I put both in my hands, boarded the plane, and saw that the EDP lasts much longer while the EDT faded away. The EDP is denser, sweeter, and drier; it reminds me of the lemon sugars from my childhood. Lemon, vanilla, rose, and woods make it addictive. The projection is soft but I love it. Today I feel like a child with a new toy. It is super versatile: citrus for heat, powdery and woody for cold. I wear it day and night, although due to the scent I will use it more during the day and leave more potent perfumes like Dior Homme or Black Orchid for night outings. Highly recommended. If you struggle to find EDP testers and you like the EDT, buy it without thinking, it is better and more powerful. Scent: 10 Longevity: 8 Trail: 6 Value/Price: 6 (in Tenerife £70, online £40 but they do not ship to the Canaries, hence 9/10). Versatility: 10 Overall Note: 9
Finally, I have this perfume after much hesitation. I first tried it as an EDT and didn’t like it; it smelled of very acidic lemon, between vinegar and sweat. After much trial and error, I found the right spot and discovered the EDP. In Tenerife there were no testers, so I tried both in my hands at the airport duty-free. The EDP lasted and lasted while the EDT disappeared. I noticed it was denser, sweeter and drier. It reminds me of the lemon sugars from my childhood: lemon, vanilla, rose and woods that make it addictive. The projection is soft, but I love it. Today I feel like a child with a new toy. It is versatile: the citrus notes make it pleasant in heat, while the powdery and woody aspects suit the cold. I wear it day and night, although I use it more during the day and prefer Dior Homme or Black Orchid for night outings. Totally recommended. If you struggle to find EDP testers and like the EDT, don’t even think twice: this is better and more potent. Scent: 10, Longevity: 8, Sillage: 6, Value for money: 6 (70€/100ml in Tenerife, 40€ online but they do not ship to the Canaries), Versatility: 10, Overall rating: 9.
It is quite different from the EDT. Although oud is not listed, it is there and reminds me a bit of M7. I’ve read it can smell like old books, and they are right. For me, it is worse than the EDT: more opaque and lacking joy. It kills many aspects that make the EDT so rich. On my skin, it has quite a soft projection.
I like it more because it is less piercing than the EDT and more amiable.
It is less sharp than the EDT and much kinder, which, along with other factors, makes me prefer it.
I have the Eau de Toilette and this Eau de Parfum. I loved the powdery and clean dry-down of the EDT, but this one fascinated me. Although it lacks the strong citrus opening of the EDT, it has a more pleasant opening and a woody base that lasts quite a while, although it does not project too much. Some say it has oud, but I think it is a touch of vanilla-scented carnation reinforced with sandalwood, leather, and other essences. Be that as it may, both are incredible and addictive, each in their own way. Among the best from Guerlain 😉
I am still deciding which to buy: I have the Habit Rouge Rouge Privé, which is a tank and will leave its sisters in the lurch, but I want to diversify and have something softer for days when I don’t seek overwhelming potency. I have been testing the EDT and EDP for weeks; although both have lost potency compared to their old versions, the quality is undisputed. The EDT (2023) is more cheerful and strident, less masculine, almost unisex, with a note of powdery citrus, roses, and carnation that reminds me of an older lady’s cosmetics or wigs from 18th-century France. The EDP (2023) smells like that lemon sugus from the pockets of tweed jackets and a bit like Jovi plasticine from when we were children. It is more virile, serious, and harmonious, like contained chamber music. Elegant, balanced, and rounded. I will buy the EDP, although sadly both are greatly weakened by the reformulations.
I still need to decide which to buy. I own the Habit Rouge Rouge Privé, which is a tank and will leave its lesser sisters dry; but before repeating, I want to diversify and have something softer for days when I fancy this scent, similar to the older versions but without the overwhelming power. I have been testing the EDT and EDP for weeks, watched all the videos, and today I try both with decants. I prefer to write well about the one I think wins: the pulse is almost won by the EDP. The power of both is no longer comparable to its newborn sister or the old glories; I am looking for something that is not Attila’s horse or a two-hour mist. The quality is undisputed, although they seem softened in the reformulations and there is less bombardment of notes in the EDP; the EDT sounds like a philharmonic orchestra before the concert, with all the notes and difficult to differentiate for more than two or three. EDT Batch 2023: More cheerful and strident, less masculine, tending towards unisex. It has a prominent note of citrus, talcum-dusted roses, clove, and vanilla that I do not recall anything else like, other than old lady’s cosmetics. Yes, no joke. Like my grandmother in the 80s. Perhaps it resembles Shalimar. One could say it reminds me of talcum-dusted wigs from 18th-century France; it is an exaggeration but it smells cosmetic. It seems reduced to exhaustion. The almost acidic citrus remains high while the rest develops. It is more talcum-dusted than the EDP. EDP Batch 2023: My companion @Emorandeira hit the nail on the head. It smells like that lemon sugus that aromatised the pockets of corduroy trousers when we were children. I add one note: Jovi plasticine from when we were dwarfs, very reduced. The EDP is more virile, serious, and harmonious, like chamber music where errors are not overlooked. It is more elegant, balanced, and rounded. Pending on longevity, but I am sure I will buy the EDP. The citrus is more moderate, not so acidic, and the fragrance leaves the citrus behind to give predominance to woods, vanilla, and patchouli, which is why I perceive it as more masculine. It is a pity both are so weakened by reformulations.
A very elegant and calming amber. Woody heart with a warm, dry, and masculine sweetness, sober and restrained. All that range of woods and amber slowly simmered creates a relaxing, rich, clean, and elegant fragrance. It has a synthetic, whitish cleanliness, rich in well-balanced notes that lead to a unique, luminous, and discreet aroma. Velvety smoothness, musky, and ambered. Soft masculinity, neat, never intrusive, and comforting. Guerlain was an artist from head to toe.
I bought it cheap and it is 100% original, but sadly it has been reformulated. Although it smells the same as it did 30, 40, or 50 years ago, it has lost that brutal potency, longevity, and sillage; it only lasts 2 or 3 hours and stays close to the skin. For the price, I cannot ask for more; I will let it macerate to see if it improves. They have truly let a down on such a beautiful, elegant, and divine classic!
It reminds me a lot of Old Spice from 1938, with touches of Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin and references to Shalimar. It is a gem from Jean Paul Guerlain: classic, unisex, powdery, and vanilla-scented. It smells like old wood, like a fairy tale or a symphony that constantly evolves.
