What does Habit Rouge L'Eau smell like?
It opens with bitter orange and hazelnut, the citrus softened by the nut. Jasmine adds a floral note in the heart, while patchouli and vanilla sweeten the base and pull it towards woody, lightly spicy and powdery.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring, summer and fall, with winter trailing behind. It is mostly worn for leisure, daily use and the office, and half of the voters find it masculine.
