Good news, bad news
For all fans of the "red tailcoat" by Guerlain there is a really good news, if they do not know it already. Those who appreciate Habit Rouge with its mysterious and seductive nature can look forward to the extrait. Here, all the olfactory highlights of the classic come to the fore even more intensely. In other words: the citrus notes shine unitedly even more refreshing and sparkling, the patchouli appears even more beguiling, the leather rises more nobly and the warm powdery vanilla convinces even more exquisitely than already. And it's all more long-lasting and projecting than you'd know, if not quite as sparkling.
It enchants virtually like a concentrate of good humor and makes it clear: here is one of the best and most distinctive men's fragrances ever worn - and in pure culture! Moreover, a fragrance that demands maturity and nobility from the wearer without Habit Rouge seeming stale. Perhaps for one or the other a little dusty, musty or even oriental-rustic, but never out of time.
And now as already announced the bad news: the Extrait is already 11 years ago with just limited 1,000 flacons for 610 € per 125 ml on the market. So already quite rare and hardly to get. If I'm not all wrong, there was once 2018 an exclusive reissue for the Maison Guerlains, but even those are no longer available - not even in the bay.
According to what I could otherwise so rechechieren, is for some the very best Habit Rouge ever, for others an overpriced flanker, in which just this or that favorite ingredient is missing.
I myself have the L'Eau meanwhile and am extremely happy with it, whereby that is rather the summery variant, which one can wear but also loose in the deepest winter. So you do not have to have everything, but it is good to know the many facets of this century fragrance.
