Just like in the best old Guerlain days: Perfectly shaped Habit Rouge

It is a very fine little fabric, the still very new (and somehow also very "old" in terms of style, because it is sublime and classically primed) "Rouge Privé".

I already love and appreciate the now almost 60-year-old classic, so the new variation (or slightly iridescent interpretation) is in no way inferior to it.

The noble bitter-orangey-powdery notes continue to form the core, extremely gently and envelopingly coated by an aristocratic leatheriness, which is flanked by a very carefully dabbed fudge note.

The old advertising from the 60s with the British cavalry, the lords and the horse saddles fits again.

All in all, this composition of citrus/orange, powder/dust, leather and something minimalist caramel/vanilla is something quite unique in the perfume cosmos, which is now often copied and usually also dreadfully synthetic.

Guerlain at it's best!

The best flanker?

Oh how I eagerly embraced the new Habit Rouge - Rouge Prive, and I must say, it has left a profound impression on me. The fragrance opens with an exhilarating burst of bergamot, reminiscent of sun-kissed citrus groves, instantly awakening the senses with its refreshing and invigorating aura. The bergamot plays like an orchestra conductor, setting the stage for the symphony of scents to come.

As the fragrance evolves, the heart notes take center stage, where a beautifully tanned leather accord steals the spotlight. This luxurious leather note exudes a subtle yet captivating sensuality, akin to the allure of a well-worn leather jacket that evokes a sense of confidence and sophistication. It wraps around you like a second skin, adding a distinct character to the composition.

And then, as the hours pass, the recognizable Guerlain vanilla emerges in the base notes, weaving its enchanting spell. This signature note is a masterful blend of sweetness and warmth, like a velvety embrace that envelopes you in a comforting and irresistible aura. It's not cloying but rather harmonizes perfectly with the previous notes, creating a sense of harmonious balance that is a true testament to the artistry of Guerlain perfumers.

Habit Rouge - Rouge Prive, stands out among other flankers with its ability to combine familiar Guerlain DNA with a unique and intriguing twist. The interplay of bergamot, tanned leather, and aformentioned Guerlains famous vanilla is a symphony of harmonious notes, each taking its turn to shine while complementing one another flawlessly. The longevity and sillage are commendable, allowing the fragrance to accompany you throughout the day, making it perfect for special occasions or even daily wear for those who appreciate refined elegance.

Masterful Flankery

This is a masterful reworking of Habit Rouge that has exceeded my expectations, it's simply a 10/10 fragrance!

I love the original HR edt, but there is no denying it can at times feel from another age, and require a particular mood and effort to confidently flaunt its dandy powdered citrus and rose.
Rouge Prive stays true to the original in smell and structure, but does so in a way that makes the wear effortless and imbues confidence, rather than demanding confidence.

Essentially, the hazy powdered filter has been toned down and detailed clarity conferred to the individual notes which gives a modern sheen to the composition.
Additionally, the Guerlinade vanilla has been amplified and aspects of the delicious HR Dress Code included, the leather is slightly amplified and modernized which gives a more masculine edge, and the drydown shines with a crystalline airy clean patchouli, almost boozy spirit vapor like, which made me think STHE. Finally the molecules themselves feel higher quality and have a particular fullness and richness that is just outstanding.

A perfect flanker that in my opinion improves the original.

It's better than its reputation!

In the 1980-ies I was impressed by Habbit Rouge, actually then too young for it, but he had what so unmistakable, simply a classic. After all these years he was with then but at some point too strong and become too retro. I have never used him again but always kept in the fragrance memory. Now I was really pleasantly surprised how beautiful this new interpretation is. Contemporary and yet very committed to the classic. You can smell immediately from which stable he comes. He can not deny the model. It is strongly reminiscent of the original and is a bit fresher and more modern. Very well made. Very good durability! And the Flacon is like all from this series heavy and solid and valuable. The partial worse reviews here I can not understand. The fragrance is worth it to be tested.I see him, however, rather on mature personalities, not on young men to 30. A leather scent he is for me absolutely not, he has something very special and only him own. That alone is rare and precious. For 3 times the price he would be with dementsprechenden Internet pushers certainly very desirable.......

A scent for a gentleman

A PRIVATE EDITION DESIGNED AS AN EXCEPTIONAL CUVÉE

I do believe it is slightly too expensive for what it should be, around 100 USD/€/GBP for the 100ml it should be a fair price for such a high quality scent, anything above that is too much.

I do not own the older Habit Rouge versions, but I do not remember such a beautiful and power leather note like in this one, which I like very much. So this bottle will stay into my collection.

I can only speak about it for the few days since I have tried it for the first time and I can say that I like it and I am still impressed by the move of Guerlain to release two Limited Editions in the same time, luckliy for them, both being good.

The Rouge Privé is very special and reminds me right away about a well dressed man, a gentleman if you want .. and this is not the typical lemon/bergamotte strong smell like the Acqua di Parma or the high on Sandalwood like the British direction .. this is very french in my opinion and it´s very original.

I was not the biggest fan of the Habit Rouge before, it gave me too much of an old man vibe .. but now, with this strong high quality leather note added to the mix, it smells stronger on the skin than on my clothes.

This precious Rouge Privé edition is a tribute by Guerlain Perfumers to the first amber fragrance for men, this new opus reinvents its mythical accord of patchouli, vanilla and leather in a more sensual, more intense blend. Notes of tanned leather mingle with the warmth of vanilla and bewitching patchouli to reveal an exceptional interpretation of Habit Rouge.

You can see my enthusiasm more in the video, thank you for watching.
