Guerlain Habit Rouge Rouge Privé is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Habit Rouge Rouge Privé opens with Bergamot and Ginger, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Iris, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Habit Rouge Rouge Privé carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This flanker is a hot topic, praised by many as an instant classic and a masterful modernisation of the original Habit Rouge, but it's not for everyone. Expect a divisive love-L'Oréal-hate-it reception, particularly if you're not into intense leather.

About

Habit Rouge Rouge Privé opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of bergamot and a sharp kick of ginger, quickly ushering in a luxurious leather accord. This rich, dark leather is softened by the waxy, sophisticated presence of iris and a subtle creaminess from orange blossom. The dry-down is a deep, sensual blend of smoky vanilla, earthy patchouli, and that smooth, enduring leather, creating a polished and profound aroma.
