Habit Rouge L'Instinct

by Delphine Jelk

Guerlain Habit Rouge L'Instinct is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2022, created by Delphine Jelk. Habit Rouge L'Instinct opens with Green, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rose, Cannabis, and Mate, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Habit Rouge L'Instinct carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive beast. It's either an underrated modern freshie or a sacrilegious disgrace to the Habit Rouge name. Prepare for strong opinions, but if you approach it without bias, you might just find a charming, versatile scent.

About

A vibrant blast of green notes, sharp grapefruit, and bright bergamot kicks things off, immediately setting a fresh, energetic tone. As it settles, a soft, almost 'green tea'-like maté note emerges, subtly intertwining with a hint of earthy cannabis and a delicate red rose, adding an unexpected twist. The base grounds it with a clean leather, underpinned by a smooth, lingering vanilla and a touch of patchouli that whispers sophistication rather than demands attention.
