The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1965 by the legendary French house Guerlain, Habit de Metal is an Oriental Woody fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to luxurious and rare materials. The scent opens with a vibrant burst of citrus from bergamot and mandarin orange, quickly giving way to a rich blend of woody notes and spices. At its core lies leather and vanilla, creating a warm and sensual heart, while benzoin and amber add depth and an animalic touch that makes this fragrance truly distinctive.
Apply Habit de Metal to your pulse points for maximum impact. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the warm and leathery base notes will linger throughout the day. It's best worn in cooler weather when its rich warmth can be fully appreciated.
