Habit Rouge by Guerlain

I just happen to read previous reviews on Habit Rouge, and can tell you this fragrance has staged a spectacular come back in France (in 2003, it rank ninth among top sellers)while it had never lost its devoted following among men and women alike. I fondly remember it as the emblem of night life and discos in the late 70s and early 80s.I still wear it for an evening out. Its distinct oriental presence has never proved embarrassing, but wearing it on an everyday basis would kill for me its elegant fun.
A review here explains its name as a monk's habit (of which flamboyant order ?), but the only religion I see is that of a 'dandy' : Guerlain ads constantly feature a rider's jacket (visit http://www.psine.net/parfum/collection/Guerlain/
