The story behind the bottle.
Habit Rouge Beau Cavalier by Guerlain was launched in 2009 as a bold statement of its time. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like bitter orange and bergamot, which give way to aromatic spices such as basil and cinnamon. The heart reveals floral essences of rose and jasmine, adding depth and warmth before settling into an amber and vanilla base that reads as rich and balsamic, anchored by sandalwood and leather.
This fragrance is a proof of Guerlain’s tradition of using luxurious materials and innovative compositions. It captures the essence of modern elegance with its well-balanced blend of fresh spices and warm woods, making it both contemporary and lasting.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus-spice opening is bright but fades within an hour, so it’s best for daytime wear when you want that initial burst of freshness followed by the warm woodsy base notes.
