Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habit Rouge

This isn't just a perfume, it's a statement. Habit Rouge EDP is a love-it-or-hate-it classic, lauded for its sophisticated, timeless appeal but dismissed by some as dated or overly feminine. It's truly a journey for the senses, but not for the faint-hearted.

Our Verdict - Inspired by Fahrenheit

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Dior's Fahrenheit (1988) - the Jean-Louis Sieuzac and Maurice Roger violet-leaf-leather masculine that defined late-1980s designer perfumery, here translated into a mandarin-hawthorn opening over violet leaf and a leather-tonka close. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening masculine wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Its potent, evolving nature, with prominent rose and leather notes, makes it less suited for an office setting where subtlety is often key. However, its sophisticated and elegant character, often described as 'classy' and 'gentlemanly', makes it ideal for formal events and romantic dates. The 'love-it-or-hate-it' nature means it can be polarising, so choose your informal settings carefully.
