Skimming through the reviews of Habit Rouge it's apparent that this scent comes/came in many incarnations, wastly different. I've tried a current EdT. .. There's nothing masculine about this...
I dislike the original AdG, always have because of the bitterness and strange orange synthetic note. The Essenza after one wear won me over, smooth opening, soft woodiness once it settles down....

At first I thought it was a direct copy of Chergui. As it wears on, I'm reminded more of Lubin's Idole. So, in a sense, it is "spice lite," rich and sweet, and not fresh at all.
