a girlfriend who worked in the fashion industry in Boston 32 years ago gifted this to me. It has been my all time favorite since then, and i have a huge collection i use it at least once a week. the original bottle lasted me a few years. Thank you AC
AC, I’ve figured it out. You are your favorite reviewers, favorite reviewer. You are thorough, compassionate and educated on these fragrances. Others can learn from you. I have Habit Rouge and it is a bonafide compliment getter. I wore it to work with slacks, sweater and sport coat; received a compliment at work, at lunch and later in the day on the train. They said “you smell like a barbershop in a good way, “ you smell ..rich; last one was “that’s different, but so good”. What is it?”
I just got this in the new square bottle and it's still beautiful, I had run out of the bottle style that you have and honestly I can't believe that this was made in 1965 it's so artful and creative that 60 years later I can still wear this in the UK today on a warm day in May. Even after a shower at night I put 1 spray to go to bed.
theirry wasser invented an EXCELLENT oakmoss accord using the fractionated legal oakmoss but with ingredients from carrot seed to fill in the missing bits if i remember correctly. the newer bottles may indeed be better than the "listerine" style bottles but i havent smelled them to say.
Hello AC. One of my all time favorites. As I mentioned before, my wedding day scent. It never gets old and, I never tire of the scent. It is also wife approved. Great memories with this one. Thanks for the video.
i think i would very likely wear habit rouge on my wedding day as well, if not then maybe heritage. and if it was outside in high heat, perhaps eau de guerlain haha.
i have an old 80s gold cap bottle...no "dusty" sensation in the old version to me. i get a dusty thing with alot of reformulated stuff that lost its real oakmoss. its truly a masterpiece in every sense, no hyperbole no exaggeration. i wish i could wear it every day as a signature, but that vintage juice is very precious. i agree about not being dated, you can tell it was made long ago but its nowhere near "old man" or "dated". any mature, sophisticated person can wear it, and ive had more positive feedback from habit rouge than probably any other vintage fragrances i have. Jean Paul Guerlain is a true master artist.
Hi AC, I would like to ask you to review the new Guerlain L’Homme ideal platine privè, and conpare it with the discontinued ideal cologne flanker. Thanks! And keep making great content!
What a master perfume reviewer you are! I really love Habit Rouge EDT and wondered what the mystery was behind its liking. I have searched and searched and you answered this beautifully, thank you!
Many RUclipsrs said this perfume is difficult to pull off. During last Christmas I saw a good deal and bought it. ( The square bottle) I find it a fabulous perfume. I have to dress smart as a teacher and it goes well with my outfits. The mental image of this perfume for me is, walking through a garden with full of lemon trees on a sunny day but the floor is vary sandy. ( Maybe it's the vetiver) Great review AC as always. Keep them coming 😀 Thanks 👍
Hi sir, To me it is like 'Galib' of scents, nothing does what it does, every revisit to it just reinstates what a brilliant masterpiece it is. Would love to hear your views on women line of Amouage, especially epic woman, absolute beauty 😊.
AC is the reason why I have 2 bottles of the EDT and EDP silver cap. and 2 bottles of the EDT and EDP Listerine bottle. hoping to get the new bottles soon. especially the prive.
What a coincidence, I just reviewed this a couple of days ago, I just sprayed this as my SOTD a few mins ago, switched on my TV and saw your re-review. This is a wonderful fragrance, it would be a solid 10/10 for me, but it doesn't perform as well as I would like on my skin. I actually own 3 100ml bottles 😅
It's very versatile and totally unisex. Just avoid it in extreme hot weather if no air conditioning. It's very reassuring and quiet luxuriesque. Thank you for the interesting video.
You're one of the best fragrance reviewers on RUclips. Please review habit rouge parfum. I have a decant of the EDT and absolutely love it like you do but wanted to buy a bottle and don't know which one to get. Parfum or EDT?
Hello AC Lovely review as always, I have a question about the Habit rouge that you own ? Which year is this bottle, i have found one brand new for 30€ and i don't know if it's considered vintage
Hi Anass, the best way to check is to go to checkfresh.com and enter the batch code shown in the bottle. It is at t he bottom of the bottle. If you can not see it ask the seller for a picture showing the batch code. Please also remember that batch codes are generally repeated every 10 years but if you go to checkfresh you will learn a lot about how to check vintage bottles etc. My bottle is from 2015 if I remember correctly.
AC- I know exactly what you mean about Habit Rouge. It puts you in a completely different frame of mind! It has the power to transport you to a different place entirely! Great review! I wonder what your thoughts would be to compare the version you have (silver cap) with the later iterations. To my nose, the newer versions are not bad, it’s still Habit Rouge, but there’s a depth, an intricacy found in the silver cap that is missing in the newer versions. Again, not bad, but thinner. Even the ingredients on the box listed on the newer versions, there are a few ingredients from the silver cap that are no longer listed on the newer boxes: BENZYL SALIICYATE, BENZYL BENZOATE, FARNESOL, and COUMARIN. So, I don’t think it’s my imagination. But, interested to hear your thoughts. Again, great review, as always!
Thank you very much. I currently do not have a sample of the new formulation, but one day when I do, I will certainly do a comparison video. Most appreciate your inputs I think they are quite helpful.
@@ACSmellsGood So excited to see the new squared edt bottle comparison, been wondering the difference for so long but no one did it, really looking forward to the comparison video!!
Hello sir, if you get a chance please try the new habit rouge prive. People say it's a more intense version of the edt with enhanced leather. The perfumer is Delphine Jelk
it is a classy masterpiece for sure, more for the cold weather in my opinion, I enjoy it even when staying at home, I have a 200ml bought in 2019, good to have you back AC!
Sir, if I may make e request: Try the new Afnan trio from the edict line : Ouddiction, Musctique and Amberthyme. Afnan really meant business when releasing these three
One of my all time favorites, I've been using it for over 40 years, when it was the edc formulation. I like it best in late Winter going into early Spring. I also have 3 of the vintage soaps/savons de toilette, which are fabulous. The Edt didn't come out until a bit later and I only added it to my collection recently, but I also like it very much. I agree with you about the edp, I got a decant and am not a fan, but am curious to try the extrait, now discontinued. Please review if you happen to come across it. It’s not the same as the parfum. And I don't like/won't buy those new square bottles! I'm also a long time fan of Héritage, which is perfect for Autumn. Enjoyed your latest review on this wonderful and (in my opinion) timeless classic!
One of my first and best. Often feels like I am chasing other fragrances to capture the enjoyment I receive from Habit Rouge EDP and EDT.

Great to hear that story, and some people say women don't like this fragrance. Thanks for watching.
Thanks AC its a treat to see you regularly.
I am so glad I can upload regularly.
Amazing flagrance, one of the best of all times! A masterpiece. The EDT is the best version. Thanks a lot for your fantastic description!
I own this perfume since a week and it already has become my favorite. I get such a good mood when wearing this. Masterpiece
Spot on, it gets you in an awesome frame of mind :)

hahha the first line of your comment took me a while to get ...lolz.
Thank you and thank you for loving Habit Rouge as much as i do :)

I prefer the current formulation over the older rectangular bottle version. They’ve definitely tweaked it but with great care.
Thats the best bit about HR EDT, it is still so good after all those years :) Thanks for watching.

So glad to hear that Mohsin, and don't forget theres that parfum to try :)
@@ACSmellsGood yes most definitely. hope to see your reviews on them very soon.

Ok AC im heading to a store to try this out...these reviews are poetry in motion.

Your first review of this had bad audio but still I count it as one of the best reviews out there ever👌
Great review AC. Cant wait to get my hands on this one.

Thank you very much indeed Siddhartha I am planning to sample it.
Have you tried the new habit rouge parfum?
Keep them coming AC!
I have a 1990 batch code bottle of this. Stunning fragrance.
That must be stunning :)

Fun fact : ACs favorite house is Gurlain 😊
haha me being me, stating the obvious lolz.
Спасибо, красиво описали аромат!
С огромным удовольствием и спасибо за просмотр :) Using Google Translate :)
Habit means Garment. The “t” after the “i” is silent.
Top 3 for me
Great review bro 👊 same here love habit rouge , take care
