Habit Rouge L'Extrait

by Thierry Wasser

Guerlain Habit Rouge L'Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Thierry Wasser. Habit Rouge L'Extrait opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mahogany, and Lime, settles into a heart of Carnation, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Oakmoss, Amber, and Benzoin. Guerlain's Habit Rouge L'Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A legendary scent, oft-lauded yet frustratingly out of reach. This is an absolute masterpiece for those who managed to snag a bottle before it vanished, leaving a trail of obsessed admirers and desperate petitions in its wake.

Its rich, long-lasting Extrait concentration makes it better suited for evening and special occasions where its luxurious depth can shine. While too substantial for casual wear or sport, some might find its refined character suitable for a formal office setting if applied sparingly.

About

Opens with an invigorating burst of bright citrus, with bergamot and lemon leading the charge, underscored by a subtle aromatic basil. This freshness quickly deepens into a rich, complex heart of warm spices like cinnamon and carnation, mingling with the sophisticated earthiness of patchouli and cedar. The drydown is a luxurious embrace of supple leather, creamy vanilla, and deep amber, with hints of oakmoss and labdanum adding timeless elegance.
