What does Habit Rouge Dress Code smell like?
The top notes of rose, neroli and bergamot give a citrusy, floral start, with spicy notes in the heart. In the base, praliné, tonka bean and vanilla pull it towards a gourmand, powdery sweetness, while woody notes and leather balance it with a leathery, oriental tone.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead, with business and daily use further back. Most read it as masculine, with a classic character. Shalimar Parfum Initial and Plus Que Jamais have a close profile.
