Habit Rouge Rouge Privé

by Delphine Jelk

Guerlain Habit Rouge Rouge Privé is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Delphine Jelk. Habit Rouge Rouge Privé opens with Ginger and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Leather, and Patchouli. 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.
