Note Pyramid
Habit Rouge
Guerlain Habit Rouge Parfum takes one of the house's oldest compositions and makes it darker rather than merely stronger.
Rum opens it with bergamot and mandarin, and vanilla orchid is already present at the top. Starting on a spirit rather than a citrus is what distinguishes this from the familiar version.
The heart is where it earns the Parfum name. Wheat bran absolute is the unusual material, dry and grainy and slightly bready, and it sits with smoke, black pepper and more rum. Patchouli underneath gives it earth. This is a heart with no flowers in it at all.
Oakmoss, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla finish it, damp and sweet together, with the oakmoss supplying the bitterness that keeps the vanilla honest.
How Habit Rouge Parfum wears
It lasts a long time and projects strongly, so it is best applied sparingly. Cold weather and evenings suit it, and it rewards knowing the original before you try it.
Guerlain Habit Rouge Parfum, 100ml, created by Delphine Jelk in 2024 for Guerlain, the Paris house founded in 1828.
