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 Mate, Rose, and Cannabis, 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.
