Guerlain 1965 EDC

M ££ Statement

Habit Rouge

Guerlain Habit Rouge is a Cologne launched in 1965, created by Jean-Paul Guerlain. Habit Rouge opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Lime, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Oakmoss, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Habit Rouge carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive classic, this one's either a sophisticated, timeless beauty or a dated nursing home nightmare. Its subdued nature in cologne form might disappoint those seeking a beast, but for others, it's refined perfection. Best for those who appreciate old-school charm with a subtle presence.

Office Date

While its cologne formulation means lighter projection than the EDT, the sophisticated, warm, and spicy accords make it generally unsuitable for casual or sport settings. Several reviewers indicated it's perfect for formal events, like graduations or black tie affairs, and its subtlety means it could work in an office after the initial citrus burst fades. Some note its 'skin scent' nature too, which lends itself to closer encounters.

About

Habit Rouge opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of mixed citrus- lemon, orange, and bergamot- brightened by a hint of basil. This invigorating start mellows into a rich heart of warm cinnamon and spicy carnation, intertwined with classic rose and jasmine, on a bed of creamy sandalwood. The dry-down reveals a deep, oriental base of vanilla, ambery benzoin, and a soft, leathery warmth, anchored by earthy oakmoss.
