Equipage

by Guy Robert

Hermès Equipage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1970, created by Guy Robert. The fragrance opens with Aldehydes, Marjoram, Nutmeg, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Pine, Hyssop, Tonka Bean, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Equipage: Favourite

A truly classic, subtly sophisticated gentleman's scent that, despite some reformulations and occasional performance gripes, remains a benchmark of refined masculinity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it for some, but generally lauded as an old-school masterpiece - just don't expect it to smell like bubblegum.

About

Equipage opens with a vibrant, almost pungent burst of aldehydes and citrus, quickly mellowing into a distinguished aromatic heart. Hints of pine and carnation lend a green, spicy warmth, while a woody, mossy base of vetiver, oakmoss, and patchouli provides a refined, earthy foundation. It's a complex, natural smelling composition that whispers rather than shouts.
