By the editors · 2 min readHabit Rouge's 2003 EDP deepens the 1965 original's citrus-oriental structure with a heavier base: leather and oud join vanilla and patchouli, giving the familiar citrus opening a darker foundation to land on. Orange, lemon, and bergamot open cleanly, performing the standard Guerlain freshness before anything more interesting happens.
Neroli and jasmine in the heart soften the transition from citrus to base — neroli in particular bridging the two registers, being simultaneously a citrus and a flower. Jasmine adds warmth and a slight indolic weight.
Leather and oud in the base are what the EDP adds to the conversation, making it substantially heavier than the EDT. With vanilla and patchouli rounding it out, the dry-down is rich, warm, and formal — Habit Rouge grown slightly older.
