  Finally tested it in blind test and frankly, good job on the flanker. I don’t detect many differences between the 2023 Privé, 2024 Parfum, and this 2025 Spirit; the DNA of Habit Rouge is undeniable in all three, none better than the other. I suppose trained noses will notice more, but that’s not my case. Faithful to the original EDT, I admit these have more courage, strength, and presence. Jean-Paul’s original was touched upon and today doesn’t seem interesting to me. It’s the works of Delphine Jelk that we enjoy now. I won’t buy the Spirit although it seems exquisite, no more than the Privé or Parfum, and I don’t believe in the business of launching one every year. Especially with current notes that put it in a young and commercial focus. Congratulations to Habit Rouge on its 60 years and its history as a masculine reference. That’s not achieved by anyone; there is a company determined not to fall into oblivion. Its perfumer made a superhuman effort and in a dignified way. Young people must know it and enjoy it for a more beautiful and sensitive world. There are perfumes with so much beauty they justify themselves alone, as Dior and Chanel know, conserving their 20th-century jewels.

  Who would have thought that a myth like Habit Rouge would continue on shelves celebrating 65 years while breaking schemes. From the rotating cap to the Nivea formula, Guerlain has always innovated. With Jicky they launched the first official unisex, and then came Habit Rouge, the first oriental masculine, with a scent of equestrian prince between leathers, tobacco, oranges, and roses. They say in heaven there must be someone who smells like this; it’s a perfect olfactory machine. A tempered flow of lemon with cloves and spicy spices, tamed vanilla, and leather cured in Provençal hunts. Spirit is a free homage with iris among citrus, nutmeg for warmth, and vanilla at the base that ensures seduction. Jean-Paul is no longer here and the saga is no longer familial, but masters keep arriving to keep the spirit of the dynasty alive.

  I bought it on a trip with a huge discount, without testing it and with little information, but I knew the Parfum was a beast, so nothing could go wrong. First impression: the Spirit is the Parfum squared, with nuances. It opens with wet wood, bathed in liqueurs, aged, animalic, and sharp, deep and cutting for hours. The vanilla is more potent and acute than in the Parfum, with a citrus touch at the base. As it dries, they resemble each other a lot, but the Spirit remains darker, murkier, and denser. Imagine a Parfum turned into a Macallan 12; this would be a Macallan 25. The quality and elegance are excellent, justifying the price compared to other brands. Is it redundant? If you already have the Parfum, yes. If you’re a fan, buy it now. If you don’t have any, try the Parfum first. If the Parfum smells old-fashioned to you, don’t even get close. It’s a marvel; I doubt there’s a better designer this year.

  UPDATED: I bought mine on a trip with a discount, without testing it or knowing much except what’s on the website. I got home and enjoyed it; I believe the Parfum is one of the best designer scents, so nothing could go wrong. First impression: Spirit is the Parfum squared with nuances. Opening of wet wood, bathed in liqueurs, aged, animalic, and sharp, deep and cutting for hours. The vanilla is more potent and acute than in the Parfum, with something citrusy at the base. As it dries, they resemble each other, but Spirit remains darker, murkier, denser, and more intense. If Delphine Jelk proposes a perfume aged in a barrel, imagine the Parfum turned into a Macallan 12 and Spirit into a Macallan 25. The quality and elegance are excellent, and seeing what others do, it’s not strange that it’s more expensive. Is it redundant? For me, no. If you like the Parfum and already have it, yes. If you’re a fan, go for it. If you don’t have any, try the Parfum first. If the Parfum smells old-fashioned to you, don’t even get close. MARVEL. I doubt there will be a better designer by the end of the year.

  Happy Birthday, Habit Rouge! So old and so current. This edition doesn’t stray far from the Parfum as it dries; the opening is more liqueur-like and woody, but then it arrives almost exactly like the Parfum. The one that stands out the most is the Privé, with a much higher load of citrus and leather; the others go hand in hand with their nuances. I’m more of a Guerlain fan. In times of perfumes and elixirs that don’t reach the performance of an EDT, Guerlain hits the table with these heavy, loud jewels. My respects.

  Finally tested it in blind test and the flanker has done a very good job. I don’t notice many differences between the 2023 Privé, the 2024 Parfum, and this 2025 Spirit. The DNA of Habit Rouge is undeniable in all three; it’s hard to say which is better. Trained noses might notice more, but that’s not my case. Faithful to the original EDT, I admit these have more courage, strength, and presence, since the original was reformulated and today doesn’t seem interesting to me. It’s the works of Delphine Jelk that we enjoy now. I won’t buy the Spirit, although it’s exquisite, because it doesn’t surpass the Privé or the Parfum, and I don’t believe in the business of launching one every year. Especially because this limited edition has very current notes, focused on younger audiences and more commercial. Congratulations to Habit Rouge on its 60 years and for being an international reference. That’s not achieved by anyone; there is a company determined not to fall into oblivion. Its perfumer made a superhuman effort and achieved it in a dignified and outstanding way. Young people must know it for a more beautiful and sensitive world. There are perfumes so beautiful they justify themselves alone, like the jewels of Dior and Chanel in this 21st century.

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY HABIT ROUGE! So old and so current. This edition doesn’t stray far from the Parfum as it dries; the opening is more liqueur-like and woody, but then it arrives almost exactly the same. The one that stands out the most is the Rouge Privé for having a higher citrus and leather load, while the others go hand in hand with their nuances. I’m becoming more of a fan of Guerlain. In times of perfumes that don’t deliver, they bring out these heavy, loud marvels. My respects to Guerlain.

  I read reviews saying the barrel aging wasn’t noticeable, and I believed them, until I compared it with a Hennessy VSOP I have stored. Side by side, they smell identical; that woody hint is 100% cognac. If you smell the Spirit, clear your nose, then smell that cognac while separating the vanilla, you’ll detect the cognac instantly. I don’t understand why they didn’t highlight that note; it’s the heart of the fragrance and it’s missing from the description. That would be my only complaint.

  Habit Rouge Spirit is floral, woody, and powdery. The scent is guided by iris, which imparts a powdery sensation in almost all fragrances where it is the protagonist, as happens here with oriental vanilla notes and woody and spicy accords. The DNA of Habit Rouge is also perceived, but in very small proportion. In general, it is linear, with no changes from opening to dry down. Due to its characteristics and perception, I believe it is suitable for autumn and winter, night outings, and special occasions. Longevity has been good, lasting up to 10 hours or more with a notable trail. Personally, I liked the limited Privé version more than this Spirit. There was a note that developed in an unpleasant way and I didn’t like it. Another note is that the scent is quite unisex; if any woman wanted to wear it, she would certainly look good in it. My recommendation is that you try it yourself and have your own opinion.

  Habit Rouge Spirit is floral, woody, and powdery, led by iris which gives it that classic dusty touch, mixed with oriental vanilla and spice notes. You can detect a bit of the original DNA, but very subtly. It’s linear, with no drastic changes from start to finish. That’s why I see it as perfect for autumn and winter, night outs, and special events. Its longevity is excellent, lasting over 10 hours with a powerful trail. Personally, I prefer the limited Privé edition; this Spirit version has a note that evolves a bit badly, which takes off some points. It’s unisex, so it will certainly suit any woman. Give it a try and decide for yourself.
