Guerlain Habit Rouge Dress Code is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Thierry Wasser. Habit Rouge Dress Code opens with Bergamot, Neroli, and Rose, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Leather, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Guerlain's Habit Rouge Dress Code carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This flanker to the legendary Habit Rouge is an absolute cult classic, garnering an almost evangelical devotion among its fans. It's a sweet, modern take that respectfully bows to its heritage without feeling dated, though some still find the opening a bit 'old school'.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Habit Rouge Dress Code opens with a bright, uplifting blend of bergamot, neroli, and a delicate rose, quickly warming into a heart of subtle spices. The magic truly unfolds in the dry down, where a mouthwatering praline note mingles with creamy vanilla and tonka bean, underpinned by soft woody nuances and a supple, not-too-heavy leather. It's wonderfully addictive, a gourmand for the sophisticated palate.
