Guerlain Habit de Metal is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1965. Habit de Metal opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Woody and Spicy, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Guerlain's Habit de Metal carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher; the community seems more concerned with its limited edition status than its actual scent. Honestly, people need to chill out and just enjoy the ride, it's a solid, if debated, wear.

About

Habit de Metal opens with a bright burst of citrus, dominated by bergamot and lemon, giving a sharp, invigorating kick. This quickly transitions into a more grounded heart of warm woods and subtle spices, hinting at a classic elegance. The dry-down reveals a rich, complex base of leather, softened by creamy vanilla and benzoin, with a warm whisper of amber, creating a sophisticated and enduring aroma.
