To reinvent the iconic, ambery Habit Rouge fragrance, Guerlain perfumers drew inspiration from the world of spirits. Drawing on the emblematic notes and captivating, yet bold aesthetic of this world, which shares so much with perfumery, this fragrance was created from a unique selection of highly concentrated ingredients, creating an unparalleled, seductive composition.
Habit Rouge, the first amber fragrance for men, was inspired by equestrianism, a pastime highly prized by perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain. Created in 1965, the woody-spicy Habit Rouge, enveloped in rounded notes of vanilla, has become an olfactory symbol of French elegance. Inspired by the bold intensity of bourbon, Habit Rouge Le Parfum opens with the rich tones of a rum accord, which then gives way to Guerlain's unique vanilla tincture, crafted using a proprietary process. It is the vanilla tincture and patchouli that give Habit Rouge its distinctive, incomparable depth.
"For Habit Rouge Le Parfum, I created a vanilla liqueur with notes of leather, with a high intensity inspired by bourbon." - Delphine Jelk, Guerlain Perfumer
