Parfum d’Habit

Really, really lovely perfumery. Makes me happy and transitions monumentally, without being too much of a challenge or whatever? I found the opening very low key, almost like a sandalwood perfume which you no opens quite transparent but will be bottom heavy and kick in the base notes. Although this isn't a sandalwood, the aromatic, men's leaning (for me) classical opening is quite.....nutty. I thought like a very well blended and none too obvious vetiver perfume like cloon keen brand one....I forget the name? Then at it's core....IRIS!!!! Which I swear I couldn't smell at all in the opening. Parfum d'Habit becomes a kind of powdery, cosmetic, and carrot sweet, veggie leather, hybrid. So after this transition a very clean and modern patchouli really starts to pull it's way out of the mix, and to be honest this becomes more and more of a patchouli perfume as it wears on but in the sense that its a backdrop for this little musky pearls and little twinkles of loveliness. What a great perfume. Unsung. Untalked about really and that's kind of understandable because of it's subdued nature. It doesn't excite me as such but it's like a classic that I never found (or at least paid much attention to) until now. Really enjoyable wear with three distinct and complex phases, a solid, staple piece of perfumery, I thoroughly enjoyed wearing it. I actually want a bottle now.

I just bought this juice yesterday after trying it several times. It has a very dirty oily leathery aroma..supported by sandalwood and smokey/ spicy notes. A VERY masculine retro 80's handlebars moustache frag. This fragrance isn't your typical run of mill fragrance...a wild beast considering it's a edt. Amber calms it giving it depth and a warm vib. Longevity and Silage excellent lasting over 8hrs. Finally, I wasn't sure if I would appreciate the quality of this juice..after several times and letting the aroma settles I found myself smelling my wrist more and more. This fragrance has a real animalistic quality which would make your partner melt if they enjoy leather. I'm glad I bought this fragrance and would recommend it to those who like a real strong masculine leathery aroma. 8.5/10 very sexy/attractive juice!!

Ladies and gentleman what we have here is a unique masterpiece. I have never experienced anything similar to Parfum d'Habit. I will say that the scent exudes and projects a disturbing yet elegant atmosphere of contradiction to me. A very old black leather jacket lightly scented with a woman's makeup and lipstick from years of manly adventure. Leave the jacket deep in the woods and cover it with leaves, branches, damp soil, fresh cut pine needles and sap. Allow the sun's rays to warm up the ingredients for a few years. Love it! Patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, musk and leather are the main players in this hubris inducing formula. Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier is a majestic House and thankfully I have experienced most of their offerings. Don't delay discovering the many gems from this House.

Parfum d'Habit is a fragrance with an excellent scent. Patchouli and leather in perfect harmony with sparkling currants on a bed of sweet amber. Patchouli is earthy and dry and brings a powdery feel to leather that turns out to be soft like a sweet suede, I love it, it's unique and very original. The scent is very old school, it still does not feel demode, it is very elegant and although it does not look like it, it reminds me of the beginning of the drying of the old Hermès Bel ami. I mean I never tried the older version, which they say is now watered down, and in this regard, I do feel that the projection is almost light, which I did not like. Otherwise an original olfactory wonder dedicated to patchouli. Rating: 8.5

This review of Parfum d’Habit is based on the orginal version red bottle with a gold cap. This juice is very masculine, the first note that dominates is leather. Your nose is intrigued with a warm vib coming from sandalwood and geranium which elevates the overall blend. Unfortunately my nose meter isn't able to pick up any insense or citrus notes. However I am able to enjoy the slight herbal/green note of patchouli. Longevity and Sillage is mid-range between 5-7hrs. After wearing this juice for awhile, both leather and sandalwood notes come together giving me a oily vib. I don't mind, it's the beauty of the purfume. This is a definite fall/winter fragrance. Perfect during the afternoon into the evening. 8/10
