  Finally tested it in blind testing, and frankly, good work on the flanker. I don’t detect many differences between the 2023 Privé, 2024 Parfum, and this 2025 Spirit; the Habit Rouge DNA is undeniable in all three, hard to say which is better. I suppose trained noses would notice more, but that’s not my case. Faithful to the original EDT, I admit these have more guts, strength, and presence. Jean-Paul’s original was tweaked, and today it doesn’t seem interesting to me. It’s the works of Delphine Jelk we enjoy now. I won’t buy the Spirit even though it seems exquisite; it’s not better than the Privé or Parfum, and I don’t believe in the business of launching one every year. Especially with current notes that make it focus on younger and more commercial audiences. Congratulations to Habit Rouge on its 60 years and its history as a men’s reference. That’s not something anyone achieves; there’s a company determined not to fade into oblivion. Its perfumer made a superhuman effort in a dignified way. Young people should know it and enjoy it for a more beautiful and sensitive world. There are perfumes so beautiful they justify themselves, as Dior and Chanel know, preserving their 20th-century jewels.

  UPDATED: I bought mine on a trip with a discount, without testing it or knowing much except what the website said. I got home and enjoyed it; I believe the Parfum is one of the best designer scents, so nothing could go wrong. First impression: Spirit is the Parfum squared with nuances. Opening of wet wood, soaked in liquors, aged, animalic, and sharp—deep and intense for hours. The vanilla is more potent and sharper than in the Parfum, with something citrusy at the base. As it dries, they’re similar, but Spirit remains darker, murkier, denser, and more intense. If Delphine Jelk proposes a perfume aged in barrels, imagine the Parfum turned into a Macallan 12 and Spirit into a Macallan 25. The quality and elegance are superb, and seeing what others do, it’s not strange that it’s pricier. Is it redundant? For me, no. If you like the Parfum and already own it, yes. If you’re a fan, go for it. If you don’t own any, try the Parfum first. If the Parfum smells old to you, stay away. MARVEL. I doubt there’s a better designer brand by year’s end.

  Finally tested it in blind testing, and the flanker did a great job. I don’t notice many differences between the 2023 Privé, 2024 Parfum, and this 2025 Spirit; the Habit Rouge DNA is undeniable in all three, hard to say which is better. Trained noses might pick up more, but that’s not my case. Faithful to the original EDT, I admit these have more guts, strength, and presence, since the original was reformulated and today doesn’t seem interesting to me. It’s the works of Delphine Jelk we enjoy now. I won’t buy the Spirit, even though it’s exquisite, because it doesn’t surpass the Privé or the Parfum, and I don’t believe in the business of launching one every year. Especially since this limited edition has very current notes, aimed at younger audiences and more commercial. Congratulations to Habit Rouge on its 60 years and for being an international reference. That’s not something anyone achieves; there’s a company determined not to fade into oblivion. Its perfumer made a superhuman effort and achieved it in a dignified and outstanding way. Young people should know it for a more beautiful and sensitive world. There are perfumes so beautiful they justify themselves, like Dior and Chanel’s jewels in this 21st century.

  I bought it on a trip with a huge discount, without testing it and with little info, but I knew the Parfum was a beast, so nothing could go wrong. First impression: the Spirit is the Parfum squared, with nuances. It opens with wet wood, soaked in liquors, aged, animalic, and sharp—deep and intense for hours. The vanilla is more potent and sharper than in the Parfum, with a citrus hint at the base. As it dries, they’re very similar, but the Spirit remains darker, murkier, and denser. Imagine the Parfum turned into a Macallan 12; this would be a Macallan 25. The quality and elegance are superb, justifying the price compared to other brands. Is it redundant? If you already own the Parfum, yes. If you’re a fan, buy it now. If you don’t own any, try the Parfum first. If the Parfum smells old to you, stay away. It’s a marvel; I doubt there’s a better designer brand this year.

  Who would have thought a myth like Habit Rouge would still be on shelves celebrating 65 years while breaking rules? From the rotating cap to the Nivea formula, Guerlain has always innovated. With Jicky, they launched the first official unisex, and then came Habit Rouge, the first oriental men’s fragrance, with a equestrian prince scent between leather, tobacco, oranges, and roses. They say there must be someone in heaven who smells like this; it’s a perfect olfactory machine. A tempered flow of lemon with cloves and spicy spices, tamed vanilla, and leather cured in Provençal hunts. Spirit is a free homage with iris among citrus, nutmeg for warmth, and a vanilla base that ensures seduction. Jean-Paul is no longer here, and the saga isn’t family-run anymore, but masters keep arriving to keep the dynasty’s spirit alive.

  Happy Birthday, Habit Rouge! So old and so relevant. This edition doesn’t stray far from the Parfum once dried; the opening is more liquorish and woody, but then it hits almost exactly like the Parfum. The one that stands out the most is the Privé, with a much heavier citrus and leather load; the others go hand in hand with their nuances. I’m more of a Guerlain fan. In an era of perfumes and elixirs that don’t match the performance of an EDT, Guerlain slams the table with these heavy, loud jewels. My respects.

  HAPPY BIRTHDAY HABIT ROUGE! So old and so relevant.

The one that stands out the most is the Rouge Privé, with a heavier citrus and leather load, while the others go hand in hand with their nuances. I’m becoming more of a Guerlain fan. In an era of perfumes that don’t deliver, they release these heavy, loud marvels. My respects, Guerlain.

  I initially read reviews saying the barrel aging wasn’t noticeable, so I believed them, until I compared it to a Hennessy VSOP I have stored. Side by side, they smell identical—that woody note is 100% cognac. If you sniff the Spirit, clear your nose, and then smell that cognac while isolating the vanilla, you’ll instantly recognize the cognac. I don’t understand why that note wasn’t highlighted; it’s the heart of the fragrance and it’s missing from the description. That would be my only complaint.

  Habit Rouge Spirit is floral, woody, and talcum-scented. The scent is guided by iris, which brings a talcum sensation in almost all fragrances where it plays a leading role, as happens here with oriental vanilla and woody-spicy accords. The Habit Rouge DNA is also noticeable, but in very small proportions. In general, it’s linear, with no changes from opening to dry-down. Given its characteristics and perception, I believe it’s suitable for autumn and winter, night outings, and special occasions. Longevity has been good, lasting up to 10 hours or more with a notable trail. Personally, I liked the limited Privé version more than this Spirit. One note developed in an unpleasant way, which I didn’t like. Another point is that the scent is quite unisex; if any woman wanted to wear it, she would surely wear it well. My recommendation is that you try it yourself and form your own opinion.

  Floral, woody, and talcum-scented, Habit Rouge Spirit is guided by iris, giving it that classic dusty touch, mixed with oriental vanilla and spice notes. You can sense a bit of the original’s DNA, but very subtly. It’s linear, with no drastic changes from start to finish. That’s why I see it as perfect for autumn and winter, night outs, and special events. Its longevity is excellent, lasting over 10 hours with a powerful trail. Personally, I prefer the limited Privé edition; this Spirit version has a note that evolves a bit poorly, which takes some points off for me. It’s unisex, so it will surely suit any woman. Try it and decide for yourself.
