Jean-Paul Guerlain introduced Habit Rouge Eau de Parfum in 2003 as a bold and sophisticated statement within the Guerlain repertoire. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, featuring lemon, bergamot, and basil, which cuts through with an unexpected freshness. As it unfolds, warm spices like cinnamon and vanilla emerge, blending seamlessly into a rich woody base of sandalwood, cedar, and agarwood (oud). The composition is both crisp and enveloping, capturing the essence of modern elegance.

Application Tips
Apply Habit Rouge Eau de Parfum to pulse points for a balanced experience. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, making way for the warm, enveloping base that develops over time. For best results, layer it on dry skin and avoid excessive rubbing.

“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 moment when a freshly sharpened pencil meets the rich leather of an office chair, where crisp bergamot and vanilla intertwine with the earthy warmth of wood.
