Parfum d'Habit (1988)
by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier

"AWESOME" was the first word came into my mind after 10 minutes I applied this one. It is a raw seductive animalistic smell and yet it is tamed enough that it can be worn casually or for a night out.
However, During first 10 min, this one smelled like a hobo in a urinal that wasn't cleaned in a year.

This is now my preference over MKK. Sorry, Sheldrake, you are not as good as Laporte. What is the point of having an animalistic scent that you can't wear everywhere and everytime.

Only problem for me now is finding a bottle or two.

I have always been little bit suprised that this one doesn`t have any orris in it. Doesn`t it have that earthy and dusty smell of orris root in there somewhere..(?)

Anyway, this is absolutely fine creation. People are telling for this being animalic, raw, aggressively butch scent, but I can`t see where those comments are coming from.
Its masculine alright, but I get this mysterious, complex blend that is very soothing and beautiful. Not particularly animalic or butch at all !
I agree with comments this reminding of something thick and green like warm wool sweaters, blankets and stuff. This is very smooth and rich, lingers on skin forever with captivating development. One of those scents that will glue your nose into the wrists.

Great scent if you want to leave suprising signarture.

Personally, this is one of my biggest favourites for walks in the woods. I love it on lazy quiet Sundays as well.

Mesmerizing.

Gritty and dirty. Not like Jules,Yatagan or Ungaro I, but edgy just the same. If you're a fan of scents that are masculine in nature, give this baby a ride.

Opening is a tad rough, but quickly becomes something wearable,then very likable. Thumbs up.

Animalistic, raw, aggressive. If Kouros wasn't good enough for you, get this. Do not buy blind! This develops to a beautiful patchouli and green.

You can call it manly if you like, but this one is definitely en route to my wardrobe. I am loving this as a standalone, but am already thinking of some layering options.

Gorgeous scent.

Yowzah!

No question, this is an unbuttoned shirt, hairy-chested, testosterone bomb of a scent. And it's great!

Stinks to high heaven when it goes on, with top notes reminding me of stale urine, but do give it a chance. Within five to ten minutes, I can swear I'm walking through a foggy west coast conifer forest, wearing a new leather jacket, with my enormous dog (he's real, at least,) by my side. The piney, resinous notes last through the drydown, while the leather intensifies and a gentle (if anything in this melange could possibly be gentle) sandalwood and musk sweetness rounds things off.

How do they do it? Frankly I don't care, as long as I can have some.
Great sillage, and you'll have to wash it off, because this stuff hangs around forever.
