Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habit Rouge Eau de Parfum

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 - Ample Eau de Parfum

A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Xerjoff Richwood (2010) by Jacques Flori - the citrus-rose-patchouli signature from Xerjoff's Shooting Stars collection that became one of the Italian house's most-loved unisex woody-balsamic compositions. Honest dupe-fidelity for autumn-winter and date wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habit Rouge Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

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.

Ample Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Citrus-rose-patchouli-labdanum-sandalwood reads firmly autumn-winter; the polished niche-house warmth carries into a cool spring evening. Less natural in warm summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Sophisticated woody-balsamic with composed projection fits date, formal evening, and dinner wear naturally; office viable at low dosage. Too distinctive for sport.
