Habit Rouge Habit de Cuir

Name: Habit Rouge Habit de Cuir Eau de Toilette
Brand: Guerlain

Guerlain Habit Rouge Habit de Cuir is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011. Habit Rouge Habit de Cuir opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, Carnation, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Guerlain's Habit Rouge Habit de Cuir carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Timeless perfection for some, a touch too flat for others. This classic scent, identical to the original Habit Rouge EDT but bundled with a luxurious leather cover, remains a deeply appreciated complex composition.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Citral Geranial from Lemon
Eugenol from Cinnamon

Other declarable allergens

Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A vibrant burst of zesty bergamot, sharp lemon, and sweet mandarin leaps out, softened immediately by warm rosewood. The heart deepens with an earthy patchouli and spicy cinnamon, underpinned by the subtle floral hint of carnation and strong cedar. As it settles, a smooth, rich leather emerges, wrapped in the balsamic warmth of amber and benzoin, with a creamy vanilla finish.
