Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean accords make it perfect for the office and casual wear, though some find it elegant enough for dates. Despite the 'Sport' in the name, its refined character means it's not well-suited for intense physical activity; the reviews indicate it's more of a relaxed, all-day fragrance.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Habit Rouge Sport opens with a vibrant burst of bitter orange and lime, spiced with pink pepper. It then mellows into a refined heart where delicate rose and jasmine intertwine with green bamboo and earthy patchouli. The drydown reveals a soft, luxurious blend of creamy vanilla, subtle leather, and warm woods, creating an elegant and clean finish.
