There's one habit rouge but different formulations over the decades. The latest one is what is sold in counters and online stores worldwide. Vintage will be expensive and not much of a point unless you nose is ultra sensitive.

I wear opus V today. First time I smelled it, smile coming out from my face. Refreshing. I dunno what note it is but is it contain rose note? I got a very sweet scent from it.

How to recognize what notes contain in a frag?

Not sure how other seniors here do it as I'm still very new to this kinda thing but this is how I learn my favorite notes :-
(1) Sniff actual thing
(2) Compare and identify

Spices and herbs are cheaper to buy and have easier access to. For example, I have coriander seed, cardamom (spices) and bay leaf (herbs). My local ColdStorage has vanilla pods from Madagascar I can sniff. I also have essential oils of frankincense (Boswellia Carterii) and myrrh (Commiphora Myrrha) both from Somalia by Neal's Yard. I also bought sample of Labdanum 18 by Le Labo (for Labdanum obviously) and Saffron Sample Set from SurrenderToChance which consists of Red Oud by Montale, Safran Troublant by L`Artisan Parfumeur and Rose Kashmirie by Les Parfums de Rosine. When sampling, make sure the note you wanna find out is prominent/major player and not well-blended. You could refer to fragrantica for scent's info. You could also read odor profile on fragrantica to find out the characteristics of a note.

Maybe some of my examples given are a bit hardcore, you could just try reading odor profile on fragrantica and use compare and identify method. Happy sniffing smile.gif

Eau des Baux by L`Occitane is said to be another TV cheaper alternative. I tried them both briefly and found to be quite similar.

yesterday i went shopping complex trying some perfume i got my eye on. ambre sultan, chergui, un bois vanille, habit rouge. ambre sultan and chergui on my skin is too pungent for my nose while un UBV smells like synthetic vanilla on my skin but smell nice on paper. habit rouge too strong too on my nose so i decided to take a walk waiting the drydown. eventually ambre sultan n chergui smell nice and for HR i still can't take it. And I didn't buy anything lol. but got this sample, the person at the counter said its a new frag, izit?
