The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Habit Rouge Spirit by Guerlain was launched in 2025 and is a new interpretation of the brand's signature amber character. Perfumer Delphine Jelk created this Oriental fragrance for men, enriching its trail with distinctive woody accents and soft nuances. At its heart lies a sophisticated spicy leather accord where the elegance of powdery iris meets the warmth of nutmeg. The composition deepens in the base with rich amber notes, built around two exceptional vanilla extracts—absolute and tincture—enhanced by the deep, textured nuances of oak barrel notes.

How to wear it

Apply Habit Rouge Spirit with two sprays to ensure the rich base notes have time to develop. The spicy leather heart unfolds gradually over the first hour, so avoid layering additional scents that could overwhelm its nuanced depth.
