The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015 and crafted by perfumer Thierry Wasser, Habit Rouge Dress Code by Guerlain is a composition that balances the warmth of vanilla and praline with the brightness of citrus and aromatic spices. The top notes of bergamot and neroli are immediately uplifting, cutting through the richness of the base with their freshness. As the fragrance settles, it reveals layers of leather and woody notes, creating a scent that is both sophisticated and comforting. This blend is emblematic of Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials to craft lasting fragrances.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a balanced experience — the aromatic top notes will fade within an hour but the vanilla and praline base will linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin, so avoid heavy application in open spaces.
