Hermes Equipage EDT 100ml For Woman

What a majestic cologne. Completely refined! Although this puppy came out in the 1970’s, it has no loud, brash, arrogant or “MeMeMe” aspects. I found Equipage quite by accident, thus showing my true ignorance of historic colognes. I was looking into testing Van Cleef and Arpels pour Homme, and saw folks mentioning this cologne as it’s considered by some to be an 80’s powerhouse-type. So, I thought why not, I’ll test this too.

I disliked VC&A; I loved this! Equipage is a subtle mans cologne filled with distinction, white collars, restraint and the highest of class. I found this scent to have a perfected balance of rose, vetiver, barbershop powders and musk. Nothing overtly manly either, in that this is not what you’d wear if you’re trying to pick up a random stranger at a club. Quite the opposite: this is meant for a loved one, a special date or most definitely the office/formal event. Sillage is moderate, projection closer to the chest.

What I really like about Equipage is that it’s so nice to smell. That sounds weird, but I literally get a kick out of smelling my wrist and arm when I wear it. Quality ingredients are apparent, and the pricepoint is manageable without being pretentious. One cologne I have to relate this to is Tom Ford’s Grey Vetiver, especially in the basenotes and after 2 hours of wear.

Would I recommend this – absolutely! This is a masterpiece of a cologne
