What does Habit Rouge Spirit smell like?

Vanilla appears both as an absolute and in its plain form, giving the scent a creamy, sweet body. Iris adds a powdery softness, nutmeg brings a touch of spice, and the oak barrel gives a woody, slightly smoky depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evenings and nights out are the most common occasions. It mostly reads masculine and classic. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle Le Parfum and Initio Mystic Experience have a close profile.
