About This Perfume
Guerlain Habit Rouge L'Instinct comes across as bright citrus with green herbal rose leather. It opens with grapefruit and bergamot, moves into cannabis, mate and red rose and settles on leather, patchouli and vanilla. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2022.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: you are unsure about strong citrus notes; this one divides opinion.
- Skip if: you dislike fresh fragrances.
Around $41.

Mon Guerlain, Shalimar Eau de Parfum and Angélique Noire are the Guerlain perfumes people raise most in the communities Scendira follows.
The picks up close
Picture powdery rose cream with sweet vanilla for Mon Guerlain (Eau de Parfum, 2017); lavender and bergamot up top and Tahitian vanilla, Australian sandalwood and benzoin underneath. Shalimar Eau de Parfum (Eau de Parfum, 1990) feels like powdery citrus, warm incense, creamy vanilla, with bergamot and lemon first and incense, vanilla and leather at the base. Imagine sweet pear jam, spicy florals, creamy vanilla when you spray Angélique Noire (2005), starting with angelica and pear before vanilla and cedar take over.
