My experience is quite similar to Quilley below. Except I discovered Equipage a few years later. . . Possibly I was 15. I wore a lot of men’s cologne, Chanel pour Monsieur springs to mind as well, no doubt because relatives were passing along duty free gift items that they had tired of. . .
If you are the kind of woman who likes putting men’s fragrance into the rotation, this is definitely one to try.
listed notes as per Fragrantica include bergamot, lily of the valley, carnation, jasmine, pine, rosewood, tonka bean, vetiver and patchouli. It’s spicy leathery and smokey and somehow ‘warmer’ in tone than Bel ami, IMO. Dry down is somewhat traditional masculine oriental fougere; if you are not a fan of warmer fougere and classic vintage, you will not like this. A Fragrantica reviewer mentioned that the reformulation was lighter on the leather. Some reviewers have also recommended Aramis JHL or Tuscany ( I am not familiar with either). Not as aromatic and traditional barbershop as Guerlain Coriolan.

My first bottle was a large sample in JHS. How at age 13 I could be attracted to this is beyond me, lol. It’s all about leather, spices, amber and lavender. I’ve since expanded my love of lavender and amber to a more feminine fragrance, but I do occasionally still wear this on the odd day when I feel like being someplace else but can’t. I was 8 when Hermes introduced this and my attraction was probably due to the the fact that it was the opposite of what the women around me wore. Also because my grandfather always smelled of it. tobacco, leather suspenders. It’s definately masculine and I always get a few odd looks when I wear it. This is all about nostalgia for me, so I don’t mind.

Oh how I wanted to love this. Just based on the history. Well, I’m not trying to be snarky or urbane or nasty but this reminds me of a smell from my past: when I was a kid, mom had a rubber enema bag hanging from the back of the bathroom door. She used it for douching with a combo of water and Lavoris, a cinnamon-flavored mouthwash that was big then. The smell of the beige rubber combined with the faint and dilute Lavoris is what Equipage smells like to me. Rubbery, with some faded spices I can’t place. The frag is so faint that I had to apply about three or four coats before I could really grasp it. To say it stays close to the skin is a gross understatement. If it stayed any closer you’d need a blood test to detect it. For the price, I would prefer something that I can smell on myself throughout the day without having to press my nose to my wrist. When I do smell it, like Proust’s madeleine, it evokes mom’s rubber douche bag.

This is my daddy’s fragrance and has been for as long as I remember. On him it smells elegant and understated. Just lovely. A bit hard to find, esp. the after shave, but Hermes assures they will never discontinue it.

This is one of the finest fragrances for men that I know of, along with Vétiver de Guerlain and Eau Sauvage de Chrisian Dior –
very clean, sober, thoughtful, decisive, gentlemanly, totally and unmistakably masculine.
It has an edge, a whiff about it, a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, a sort of unconscious, non-deliberate sex-appeal, forceful yet not aggressive, endearingly relaxed, remarkably confident, envigorating, ageless.
Reminds me of someone who did not wear it, but perhaps should have done.

This is one of my favorite men fragrances, could smell it over and over again… It might be a little heavy, but when it dries down it is soo sensual! You really have to try this one before you make your opinion on the Vday present! 🙂
