About Guerlain & Habit Rouge
Guerlain is one of the great historic French fragrance houses, founded by Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain in Paris in 1828 and now part of LVMH. Habit Rouge — Guerlain's iconic masculine pillar — was launched in 1965 by perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain and named after a horse-rider's red riding coat. The L'Instinct line is the brand's modern reinterpretation of the Habit Rouge DNA.

The story behind Habit Rouge L'Instinct Intense
Habit Rouge L'Instinct Intense reinterprets the iconic Habit Rouge DNA in a deeper, evening-leaning register. The bergamot-citrus opening retains the line's signature dressed-up lift; the rose-cinnamon heart pulls in the line's signature dressed-up oriental DNA; and the leather-vanilla base extends the trail into a long, sensual sillage. A wardrobe pillar for committed Guerlain wearers.
Who it's for
Suited to wearers who love rich, dressed-up oriental-citrus masculines — fans of the original Habit Rouge, Guerlain Mouchoir de Monsieur or Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme will find L'Instinct Intense a familiar match. Year-round wear with particular strength in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, dinner and special-occasion use.
How to wear it
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
- One to two sprays may be enough thanks to the high concentration; build up gently for evening wear.
