Here it is - my #1 favorite men's fragrance. Equipage is so perfect for so many reasons: it's totally unique, it's discreet, it's elegant and sophisticated, it blends in with my skin perfectly, it lasts a long time, etc., the list goes on and on. There are two good ways to describe what Equipage smells like: 1. if you've smelled Yatagan before, imagine Yatagan without the animalic, sweaty notes, or 2. it smells like dry sake with cedar, hay, patchouli and just a touch of amber. It is extremely dry througout its duration, and its top notes are very bitter. Like Monsieur de Givenchy, Equipage is one of those fragrances you don't really smell but rather sense the essence of nearby. The most amazing thing about Equipage is that although its subtle and discreet, it's long lasting - it magically maintains a low-key but detectable presence for a good six to eight hours, without fading. Wearing Equipage puts my mind at ease every time I wear it, which explains why I've been wearing it for eight years. It has a very calming effect on me - everything in the world seems right when I wear Equipage. Is it the greatest masculine fragrance ever made? I can't say it is because it's not for everybody - its bitterness, dryness and complete lack of any sweetness are going to turn some people off from wearing it. But for me, it's perfect.

A delightfully earthy chypre, with an opening that played my palate like a Zither. This was no segue into a clouded and fussy drydown, merely a triumphant and bombastic fanfare for the future pleasures ahead. I found the pace of Equipage to be wonderfully languid, providing ample time to enjoy each new accord. A compelling casserole of diverse components, each working towards the goal of producing a vibrant peppery chypre. Longevity and sillage are not prodigious, but adequate, and in keeping with this refined masterpiece,

An incarnated elegance, for mature selfconfident gentleman.
All components are masterly balanced and harmonized. In spite of the fact that leather is not listed among the components, I distinctly feel aroma of a "noble leather" (which I love so much in perfumery!), generously flavoured with considerable quantity of Carnation and precious woods. In my opinion, one of the best perfumes of the House Hermes. I can imagine this scent to be worn by a woman. I'll try!
