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 - Somebody Wood

This woody, powdery scent is charming, albeit often divisive. Some find it a sophisticated and creamy sandalwood that's perfect for cosy moments, while others get bizarre notes of tyre shops, plastic, or even peanut butter whisky. Performance is also a real toss-up.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habit Rouge

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.

Somebody Wood

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Its intimate sillage and clean, woody profile make it ideal for casual wear and suitable for office environments where subtlety is key. The warm, inviting nature lends itself well to dates, but its lack of overt projection or grandeur means it's less suited for formal events.
