The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1988 by Jean-Paul Guerlain for the legendary French house of Guerlain, Habit Rouge Eau de Toilette is a composition that marries bright citrus with warm spices and rich woods. The opening notes of lemon, bergamot, and basil create an invigorating freshness, while the heart notes of rose and carnation bring a subtle floral touch. As it settles into its base of sandalwood, cinnamon, and vanilla, Habit Rouge transforms into a comforting blend that reads as both sophisticated and warm.

How to wear it

With its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, Habit Rouge can be applied sparingly. One or two sprays are enough to carry you through the day with a warm, comforting scent that evolves beautifully over time.
