Equipage

Hermès has always known how to adapt and diversify its activities, and the house entered the world of perfumery in 1951 with a feminine fragrance, Eau d'Hermès. In 1970, the Hermès house unveiled Equipage, a refined essence that evokes the taste of sharing.

The first masculine perfume from the Hermès house

Equipage is a great classic of masculine perfumery, and it is also the house's first masculine perfume. Very aromatic, it also offers impeccable longevity. It gives the men who wear it a certain charisma with a mysterious and spicy side. Hermès here offers both its artistic talent and its craftsmanship. Refined and elegant, Equipage reveals sharing and team spirit. Aromatic, spicy and woody, Equipage combines classic and modern. Halfway between strength and delicacy, Equipage reflects a perfect balance and flawless craftsmanship. In 1992, Equipage was modernized to bring it a contemporary breath. The new Equipage has not changed much, but it is softer and the leather is more present. In 2015, Jean-Claude Ellena also wished to revisit the original composition and presented Equipage Géranium.

The fougère of Equipage

Equipage stands as a testament to the Hermès house, a testament to its craftsmanship and talent, across the eras. The aromatic notes at the start of Equipage give it a frank liveliness. Thus, clary sage is paired with orange, rosewood and mace. Spices are there to reveal its power thanks to cinnamon and pine needles. The fougère is particularly well brought out here. Carnation and lily of the valley, for their part, offer a rather feminine touch. Finally, the base is woody and long-lasting. It is composed of vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss and tonka bean. All of this brings out the masculine side of the composition. The ambiance of Equipage is as sober as it is virile. As for the bottle, it now takes up the codes of the iconic bottles of the house's classic perfumes. These bottles were designed after carriages of old and offer an ultra-elegant result.

The house's first masculine fragrance, Equipage is nowadays a reference in the world of perfumery. Oriental, fougère, this fragrance is very balanced. The fougère in overdose offers a very aromatic aspect that then gives Equipage a very particular signature. Between strength and softness, Equipage is an essence of sharing that leaves behind it an eternal, solid sillage.
