A masterpiece with many changes.
1. I have a used vintage version with an unknown production year, a current bottle purchased in the late 2000s, and a back up bottle purchased last winter. Habit Rouge EDP 2019 became close to Habit Rouge L'Eau, in both performance and scent. The only difference between the two is that EDP has a little more orange and L'Eau has a little more lemon.
2. The current version certainly lacks performance. Some of the mid notes were omitted and reduced. The smell of an uncomplicated orange custard.
3. But I think it is one of the most lovely scents in the world. It's still delicious and soft.
4. The woody scent from the previous version now remains only weak at the very end. Thus, the magnificent masculinity disappeared and it became almost unisex. I am ready to love a woman wearing Habit Rouge.
5. Originally this was only for cold days, but I found out that the current version works better in spring and summer. Today I wrote this, the temperature in Seoul is 33 degrees Celsius. The temperature of my room with air-conditioning is 26 degrees. Today Habit Rouge works much better than last winter.
6. I loved the version of the late 2000s, but I felt it is too mature for me. And It's difficult to say about the vintage version. The vintage of mine smells like the medicinal oud that lost the top note's citrus. I always doubt it is genuine.
7. Now Habit Rouge is not for a formal evening out, but for a relaxing everyday life. As for the current version, it's better to ignore all past comments. There is obvious continuity, but there are many differences compared to before. I do not regard this as a simple downgrade.
8. Those who have been wearing Habit Rouge for a long time may not agree with me. Old fans are likely to be disappointed with the current version. But in my opinion, this current version may be the men's fragrance of the 21st century. The current version is not aristocratic, authoritative or masculine. Rather, it is adorable, attentive, and cute. No one will believe this scent began in the sixties. This is really contemporary.
9. Guerlain's fragrance philosophy and gender perspective are changing little by little. For example, they removed the tobacco note from Vetiver. The same goes for Habit Rouge. I am willing to be a new fan for current Guerlain. They are creating a scent for me, not grandfather's memories.
10. In the end, what I want to say is that the 2019 version has lost weight and performance, but the scent in it has changed from the 2000s version, and I feel that the reformed version now is a little better for me. This is still a masterpiece, in a different way from the previous era.
Summary: Jesus! It soooo good! I love it!
