What does Parfum d'Habit smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with night outs and evenings leading, though leisure and business wear also get votes. Voters mostly find it masculine, then classic.

It opens with blackcurrant bud absolute, lemon petitgrain and bergamot, giving a fruity freshness. In the heart, frankincense, patchouli and geranium bring a resinous, earthy feel. The base of leather, vanilla, sandalwood and ambergris softens into a powdery, smoky warmth. Maître Parfumeur et Gantier Cuir Fétiche has a close profile.
