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, 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 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.

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.
