Habit Rouge L`Eau Guerlain for men

A complete waste of money as far as I'm concerned. It's like Guerlain took the top notes of Habit Rouge and replaced the rest of the formula with Calone. It's called "L'eau" for a reason: because it's as weak as water. Drydown? What drydown? This thing disappears in under two hours. Dear God, aren't there enough interchangeable, fresh water, "clean," Calone-laden scents out there? Was it necessary to update this classic by removing from it everything that made it a classic?

A beautifully balanced and nuanced scent.
After the initial citrus a wonderfully rounded fragrance slowly emerges. The bell it rings in my olfactory memory is that of Rosewood.

I love how this scent has great silage and how it still remains light until up close. It smells strange at the opening because the citrus note, but as soon as it starts to dry-down (20-40 min), it starts smelling amazing and it is a very unique smell.

Where I buy this one please?

Why this shit is called Habit Rouge ? O_o
----
Ok, let's edit that. I wrote it right after I sprayed it on my skin.
The opening is way too bad ! Well, not that bad, but you have to LOVE the bitter orange a lot to accept it. Otherwise, don't ever think about it !

I was like "What is that ?... Why this thing is called Habit Rouge, it's NO WAY like the original ! So citrus, HEAVY citrus.

Once the drydrown comes, and that orange note dissapears, now you recognize the grandeur of the real Habit Rouge. That beautiful powdery scent, that mythic one.

Well, as I didn't like the opening, I washed my hands 3 times... And the scent stills here. So well, great quality in the end. If you could pass that weird opening, you won't be deceive..

But I mean, price of the original is just a little bit expansive than this one, so... What is the point to buy that one which is almost the same, in my opinion, just a little bit more fresh and... citrus;

I try so many fragrances but this one makes me reason to love it, its different than other scents different than habit rouge versions more wearable modern Medium High power scent super longavety&siilage & how I Want Exactly. ..............................
It start classic citrus like the vintage & in the middle comes the green notes jasmine & patchouli & nutmeg get into a modern style then in the Base oriental & Vanilla.
In the end Becomes powdery Unique masculine smell its for all seasons scent and can be A Signature for sure, its high quality scent .
For me its a MODERN MASTERPIECE
Habit Rouge Leau 9+/10 .

This is the most wearable version of Habit Rouge.
Smells clean and not so dated than the classic.
The vanilla and hazelnut notes are very noticeable along with the classic citric note.
Sillage, projection and lasting power are medium-high.
Definetely worth it!

I wish that I were as versed on fragrances as many who post reviews and nearly give the fragrance of which they speak a life of its own. Ah! I am not knowledgeable save with a few scents that I know. Of these, Habit Rouge L'eau is definitely another GUERLAIN classic that competes well with the original Habit Rouge in essence, yet is a completely different experience. The spiciness of the original is not here, but the opening is lush with a deep fruity (bitter orange & patchouli) aroma that soon drys to a signature vanilla and jasmine combination that is addictive because it is the male version of Shalimar. This was a blind buy as was the original. These two are in my top five. Habit Rouge is, for now, my signature scent followed by Terre d'Hermes Parfum for men, then Habit Rouge L'eau. These scents are delicious and I'm delighted to wear them... anywhere, any time, any place.

Habit Rouge L’eau, launched in 2011, is a soft, slightly sweet oriental-citrus fragrance. Perfumer T. Wasser nicely blended bitter-orange, hazelnut, jasmine etc. with vanilla. Creating a delightful, comfortable, elegant and unique fragrance with a soothing effect.
Mild weather seems optimal for wearing (we’ve been having a moderate winter so far).
Perhaps I would have liked a more powdery note (in the base).
Or does this perfume make me desire for something else...? I still can’t tell wearing this perfume for several weeks now, because this fragrance has something ungraspable.
Tonight I came to the insight that exactly THAT makes this perfume sublime! Rating: 9.5/10.

I’ve tested intensively:
Habit Rouge eau de toilette 2003 (originally launched in 1988 - not 1965, that was the eau de cologne! - reformulated in 2003). The eau de parfum (launched in 2003. Only the bottle got altered end of 2010; it was undone from its leather girdle) and the l’eau.
According to my nose the latter is the best, mainly because of the absence/replacement of the ‘dirty-lemon scent’ that was created by the lemon-neroli chord versus the vanilla and leather-suede notes. From that perspective l’eau is a ‘clean’ perfume.

Much to my regret, I wasn't able to test Habit Rouge eau de cologne (launched in 1965, but unfortunately discontinued).
Habit Rouge Sport (launched in 2009) should not be compared, since it belongs to a completely different olfactory group.

I purchased this one yesterday (along with Minotaure Paloma Picasso for men) as a birthday present. {Actually the seller prompt me to buy it, I said "not now" and before I leave I came back and said "OK you win, this is an excellent smell"}

Almost nothing like I've smelled before.
Bitter orange is surprisingly good! (I don't smell neroli here, as others say) All composition is so good, elegant and aristocratic and charisma booster that I'm seriously thinking of making this my signature fragrance (only time will tell). Neither me nor my wife get any "feminine vibe" here. Pure masculine elegance!

Projection and longevity I thing are very good but I'm still on test mode (1 small spray) so I will come back with an update on this.

Update: Very good (bitter) fragrance, very special smell, BUT, there is something I don't know-but I don't like in the dry down... Projection is Normal after 4 heavy sprays, But Longevity is Very Strong 24h+ (only close to skin or if someone kiss you, of course)

My (new) Total Score: 7.8/10 (because of the dry down downfall)

PS: This one has nothing to do with L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme or Vetiver Guerlain for men (I also tested same day)

lovely secnt i agree with candy
its have kinde of l'Instant de Guerlain with vanille and powdery and its kind of femenin
dry down is amazing
i think i well fall in love with is i need to try more
in winter

Not bad, and not a plain scent as well. For me it's something between l'Instant de Guerlain and Cacharel pour Homme.
