Parfum d’Habit Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier for men

Parfum D'Habit's extremely compelling opening has a quite distinctive "lived-in" leather note laying on a masterfully refined musk /sandalwood base. The resinous (Pine?) hints add a mysterious extra touch of extreme charme. A well balanced and highly recommended "kinda rough" fragrance.

To be completely honest I found the drydown to be slightly more conventional if compared to the outstanding opening but this may be due to the fact that I'm smelling the reformulated version of this composition. I've heard the vintage version was way more unpolite and unconventional and I'll do everything is possible to put my hands on it.

Overall this is a solid composition, masterfully crafted and miles ahead from today's anonymous scents.

Rating: 9.5/10

Bitter masculine tears. Special.

Parfum d'Habit ....
I thought it would be similar to
"Habit Rouge".
perhaps because of the name ..or perhaps because of the use of Red in the bottle.
Oh, how wrong I am....
I love Habit Rouge by Guerlain
a classic fragrance
Audacious and Straightforward
by its use of Vanilla in its spicy complex mix of notes....for men.
however.....alot of people consider it a bit old fashion and formal.

Parfum d'Habit is
Modern in it simplistic use of a few fragrance notes...
"Leather-centric" ,Warm, Casual,
Not overpowering,but with character,
for a certain man of presence with charisma.

It balances its Wood notes with its Leather ones in a perfect interplay.
Neither one overpowers the other...

I did.!

Lovely, just lovely. The smell of well-worn leathers that have been exposed repeatedly to the deep woods and all the green and brown earthiness contained within. I imagine this is what Robin Hood's breeches must have smelt like - ripe, seasoned and utterly swoon-worthy.
