Hermès Equipage Geranium is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Equipage Geranium opens with Spicy Notes and Geranium, settles into a heart of Rose and Mint, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Hermès's Equipage Geranium carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a sophisticated, clean scent for the modern gentleman, though some find its spicy-minty opening a bit challenging. Lovers of classic perfumery will appreciate its masterful blend and elegant evolution, but it's not for everyone.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Formal
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its refined and discreet sillage makes it ideal for office and formal wear, projecting an aura of class without being intrusive. While elegant for dates, some might find it too serious for casual settings, and its minimal sillage and lack of fresh notes makes it unsuitable for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a brisk, aromatic blend of fresh and warm spices, notably clove and cinnamon, intertwined with a vibrant, rosy geranium. This herbaceous burst mellows into a clean, slightly powdery heart before settling into a smooth, creamy sandalwood base, hinting at soft leather and a timeless barbershop freshness. It's a journey from invigorating spice to refined, woody comfort.
