Habit Rouge L'Extrait c2008

Habit Rouge L'Extrait: created as a limited edition in 2008, Habit Rouge L'Extrait soon proved so popular that it was decided to make a new batch each year. Unlike Guerlain's best-sellers, Habit Rouge L'Extrait is not in continuous production.


From Guerlain:

"Created in 1965, Habit Rouge was the first oriental fragrance for men in perfumery. From the moment of its launch, this tribute to Guerlain's passion for the dressage of horses created an element of surprise with its scents of sensual and bold vanilla. An oriental that is by turns citrusy, warm and accented with vanilla, it expresses the genius of contrast and well-mastered emotions. 

Habit Rouge incarnates a man who is enamoured of refinement and capable of all manner of audacity. He lives his life fervently and distinguishes himself with a trail of extreme sensuality.  

With its modern geometry and mastery of form, Habit Rouge has an eternally elegant French appeal. 

Oriental. 

Rich, enveloping, audacious. 

Habit Rouge L'Extrait is a fragrance with multi-facetted voluptuousness and a devilishly ardent spicy heart. Its base, revealing Guerlinade notes of vanilla and patchouli, as well as leathery notes, is twice as exhilarating. 

Habit Rouge L'Extrait is one of the very first men's extracts in perfumery. Created in 2008, it met with immediate success."

Aavilable as:
