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!
