By the editors · 2 min readHabit Rouge arrived in 1965 as something without precedent: a warm, citrus-led oriental designed for men at a time when masculine fragrance meant either fougère or fern. Basil and bergamot open brightly, lime and lemon adding freshness, the whole citrus combination brief but vivid. Cinnamon and sandalwood take over the heart alongside jasmine and rose, building a warm spiced-floral core. The base is where it justifies its reputation: oakmoss, leather, labdanum, benzoin, amber, and vanilla layered into a rich, animalic-warm foundation that anchors the composition decisively. Sixty years later the architecture still feels considered. The EDP deepens the original without losing its character.
