Launched in 1965, Habit Rouge Eau de Cologne by Guerlain is a masterpiece crafted by Jean-Paul Guerlain. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus top note, featuring lemon and bergamot, which give way to an aromatic heart of basil and carnation. The composition then settles into a warm and woody base, where sandalwood and patchouli mingle with notes of cinnamon and vanilla, creating a rich and enveloping scent.

Jean-Paul Guerlain
Founding perfumer · 89 fragrances · b. 1937 · French
“I am the last Guerlain to make perfume. After me, the house continues — but the family chapter closes.”
Jean-Paul Guerlain is the fourth and final generation of Guerlain family perfumers, a lineage that spans nearly two centuries of French fragrance history. Taking the creative helm of the house in 1955, he continued the family's tradition of creating deeply personal, emotionally rich fragrances. His masterpieces — Habit Rouge, Vétiver, Samsara, and Héritage — are cornerstones of the perfume canon. Jean-Paul brought a more modern, sometimes daring sensibility to the Guerlain tradition, while always maintaining the house's legendary commitment to the finest raw materials.

The story behind the bottle.
The crisp freshness of an early morning walk along the Seine, where the sun's first light meets the warmth of cinnamon-spiced pastries from a nearby bakery.
