Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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

Habit Rouge L'Eau opens with a creamy, bright bitter orange, a zesty initial burst that soon mellows. A delicate jasmine and green freshness emerge, mingling with a subtle, unsweetened vanilla and a hint of hazelnut. The dry down introduces a gentle patchouli, adding depth without overpowering, culminating in a sophisticated, subtly woody-nutty warmth.
