The delicious lemon orange with that certain something
At the moment, I spend a lot of time at Guerlain's. No wonder, there are many beautiful fragrance classics coming or coming from the house. So also Habit Rouge. It's a rather idiosyncratic fragrance that is not necessarily immediately obvious to everyone. Or for some people it is not accessible at all.
The Eau de Toilette, about which a lot has already been said, is a great piece of work, that cannot be denied According to information on the Guerlain website, it was created as a tribute to the great passion of the Guerlain family for equestrian sports. And the name alludes to the red jackets of the riders' uniforms. So far so good.
In the course of time, several flankers were released for Habit Rouge, including the Eau de Parfum.
On the one hand, eau de parfum is clearly related to eau de toilette, but develops very independently, so that one can ask oneself the question of which variant to choose.
For me, the eau de parfum is the best. For a very simple reason:
I think it is more suitable for everyday use, quieter, less tomboyish and less agitated than the eau de toilette. One has set other priorities and accents here. And I like these better
First of all, the EdP starts differently than the EdT. In the EdP the emphasis is more on the orange, very strong, very ripe, very clear. Lemon is there, but it is a little behind the orange. I almost want to say "lemon orange".
Then it feels like skipping the floral heart note and the base notes come right away. There's a hint of soft leather, a fine blob of patchouli for more depth, the beautiful guerlain vanilla is a must (but it's only been used discreetly because the fragrance isn't as sweet) and maybe a little oud plays along, but I can't really make it out. But it's a good thing, it would have spoiled the scent for me (just like with too much leather) The floral heart notes encompass the whole thing very lightly, like a fine wreath of flowers; neither jasmine nor neroli are really obvious. At first glance, all of this gives rise to a somewhat strange-looking fragrance, which somehow reminds me a bit of furniture polish. There used to be these yellow bottles with the milky liquid that you applied to the wooden furniture with a soft cloth, Poliboy :-)
This is exactly how Habit Rouge EdP smells to me in the first few minutes But I am not deterred by this, because there is much more to Guerlain, a certain complexity can not be denied and fragrances develop in the course of time more and more.
The further course is then simply beautiful, warm, sensual and spicy. I don't want to call the fragrance powdery, but I'm missing one or the other component, e.g. iris. But that would not have fit here.
In my opinion, citric-spicy is more appropriate. A slight touch of earthiness is also to be perceived
The fragrance has a splendid durability, after 9 hours it is still perceptible. In the beginning Habit Rouge leaves a quite strong scent, although not as strong as EdT. It will subside after a good hour but still radiates. You should not overdose Habit Rouge. EdT and EdP do not take anything
The EdP is more suitable for everyday use than the EdT because of its calmer and more sedate appearance. I wore it again today in the shop and I felt wonderfully fragrant throughout the working day.
For evening events both versions are perfectly suitable.
I see it in the cool autumn and winter rather than in the warm season, Habit Rouge EdP might be a bit too overwhelming.
The bottle is as simple as it is pretty, a very good spray head, which distributes the fragrance in a targeted manner, is also worth mentioning.
Unfortunately, the EdP is very rarely found in the shops. This is a pity, the EdP is a very well done reinterpretation of Habit Rouge.
All other flankers, like Dress Code, L'Eau and what they are called, are unknown to me so far.
So if the EdT is a little too loud for you, you could be happy with the EdP. But I won't talk about age recommendations now, there are no FSK-indications on the bottles.
I have to sniff around a bit and enjoy the rest of the fragrance....
