Guerlain Habit Rouge Parfum: short fragrance review

 

Making a successful flanker — or rather, a more concentrated form of Guerlain's classic for men — is a Herculean feat. Still Delphine Jelk made it possible in Habit Rouge Parfum. I might be excused for including it here in the summer, since it launched in late 2024, but it arrived on our shores after New Year's day, so it had to be mentioned sometime afterwards. 

Despite it being in the orientalized direction of boozy alcohol (rum, in this instance) and with a touch of patchouli that might have seemed incongruent in the proceedings of this silky soft robe de chambre of a fragrance, it is not at all heavy. Habit Rouge Parfum might therefore suit a summer's night spent fine dining al fresco under the stars. Dreamy. 

For comparison's sake, please refer to my detailed fragrance review of the original classic Habit Rouge by Guerlain on this link and consult for historical details.
