The story behind the bottle.
Delphine Jelk crafted Habit Rouge Rouge Privé for Guerlain in 2023, creating a fragrance that seamlessly blends the freshness of citrus with the warmth and complexity of leather. The composition opens with bright bergamot and ginger before transitioning into the heart notes of orange blossom and iris, which add an unexpected softness to the otherwise rugged base of leather, patchouli, and vanilla. This interplay between fresh and warm elements creates a dynamic scent that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in tradition.
Apply Habit Rouge Rouge Privé to pulse points for an immediate impact. The fresh spicy top notes are prominent at first but give way to the deeper leather and woody base within an hour, making it a fragrance that evolves throughout the day. Ideal for cooler weather when the warmth of vanilla and patchouli can be fully appreciated.
