Particularly revolutionary composition. Woods and spices make it very natural in its kind. On my skin it releases the same smell of cut but wet ivy. Sequoia: I would never have imagined it!
Analysis: 6/10
obtailmtutt – :
Lalique never disappoints in the unique factor. Equus is no different. Terrific and unique smell, but sits very close to the skin…VERY, VERY close in fact, before fading away after about three hours. I love Lalique and I love Equus as a unique fragrance but the execution (longevity/sillage) really leaves much to desired. Would not repurchase or recommend this otherwise fantastic fragrance for these reasons.
Vika_Tori – :
Smells like powdery hay and hamster cage bedding shavings with a pinch of spice.
DoZZeR – :
Take a well appointed Kentucky horse stable, 100 gerbil cages, and infuse their essence into Charles Bronson’s 1970s wood paneled parlor. In the best way. Yes the wood notes are there immediately but nurture Equus through the day and it rewards you with a subtle sophistication as it’s other notes reveal themselves. At the day’s end nestled among smoldering embers I detect it’s familial ties to (only a couple) other Lalique products I own. It’s a scent that started as a strong like and has grown into one of my favorites.
rever1982 – :
Very good, undeniably unique and pleasant scent (i can not resemble it to any other perfume or describe it /monkey500 did a great job on that/, you should try it, because it’s FKN beautiful) but projection and longevity are a joke…it really is comical >:( !!! what a disappointment…. actually… this scent is very good, so now i am pissed off. The cap feels cheap also…if it is important for you.
Update:
Well….. though sillage is still a bad joke, I just can’t stand sniffing this stuff on my hand, it is sooo artistic. It’s the little sister of Fahrenheit… I need to purchase it, maybe it works better in colder months. 😀
Update2:
What a shame… this time I have to correct myself. The longevity here is fine (perfume version)…more than good. The only problem has left is the projection…but hey… if you want to amaze people around just put some more on. Well… now I think this is the most sophisticated and one of the best autumn scent that I’ve ever had. Hands down. If you’re looking for a MASCULAN thing … well keep surching…this is on the calm gentlemen side of the game due to its earl grey tea vibe.
My ex-girlfriend loved only two perfume… chevignon best of (yeah what?? 😀 ) and cartier declaration (also not a clear cut) and she gave me an inmediate compliment on this…maybe this is good 😉

Lalique Equus has been on my Wishlist for some time because I’d heard their perfume house was known for very subtle, even delicate blends that evolved over time and the rumours I heard were true:
Equus opens up somewhat cardamom forward over soft woody notes that smells like there is leather ‘at the back of he room’ although leather does not exist in the olfactory pyramid – neither does lemon nor bergamot nor nutmeg nor musk – confused with Juniper, Zest of Citron, and the delicate but inticing Mace.
The cardamom and impression of leather fades and develops into a soft and fresh spiced wood that some hours later – first sprayed at night and still present the next morning – changes into a sweet and balsamic resinous scent.
Lalique Equus is definitely for the over-30s and could be worn for most occasions, day or night; noticeable but not obnoxious for the office and intriguing for evening wear or a date.
Very few perfumers make non-linear fragrances these days – a perfume that really evolves as you wear it – but I’m glad Lalique is one of them because they do it damned well.
kiberfisk – :
Another winner from Lalique! really love this one. find it sufficiently sophisticated and understated that it can work in the office, but the woods and spices scream to be worn outdoors. very well blended and very good longevity on my skin. the citrus evaporates quickly to the aforementioned woods and spices that create a very addictive sillage that makes me continuously sniff my wrist.
ndv77 – :
I have been waiting to try this one, since a lot of people suggested me to try this one when I was looking for a cedar-dominant fragrance (I know this one is sequoia based, but many say it is similar). Well, in my case, I get mostly juniper (which I have found I really dislike, too astringent to my nose) with some spices, I get cinnamon, which reminds me of Spicebomb (could be the nutmeg). Once it dries down, you’re left with sweet spices and some woodyness in the background. I get about 4 hours with soft projection, which is fine, since Equus is quite cheap. In the end, this is not for me, smells a bit mature for me and quite cheap. However, if you are a manly man in his 30’s-40’s, do check it out, it could be a nice day/work scent.
Nuckles – :
Equus is the best spicy woody fragrance I’ve tried. It feels grown-up. More sophisticated. Somehow less mass-produced. More like a creation from the mind of a talented artisan. Not sure what sequoia smells like, but the combination of woods, leather, violet leaf and spice notes exude quality at every stage.
The sillage and longevity seem unremarkable for an EdP. In both respects one can’t help but wonder if this is a permanent legacy of IFRA. Heavy application doesn’t make an obvious improvement. I would describe it as average in this respect.
For comparisons, there are vague suggestions of Gucci PH 2 and surprisingly perhaps Dior Fahrenheit Le Parfum (deep into its dry down) no doubt because they are rich in the commonality of violet leaf which in the case of Equus is a heavenly presence throughout.
The bottle has a decent heft with a contrasting frosted horse head emblem recessed within the clear casted glass flacon. It looks classy. The gold crenelated lid appears threaded and heavy but is in fact a light and strong plastic that is removed by a simple pull.
Whilst well received when worn, I feel this EdP is compromised by it’s sillage and longevity – though I acknowledge the experience of others differs. The scent itself is nothing less than excellent, and the current online price represents good value. Definitely recommendable.

Spicy Woody Goodness
I’m surprised to find a lot of people complaining about the longevity of this fragrance. Maybe you need to confirm if you have the EDT or EDP because the 75ml EDP bottle I have has brutal longevity. It lasts easily 12+ hours on my skin and clothes.
I received this as a gift and didn’t expect much but boy was I wrong. I will definitely be buying another bottle for myself soon. My ratings below;
Scent: 8/10
Longevity: 9.5/10
Sillage: 6.5/10
Bottle: 6/10
Compliments: Haven’t worn this enough to know.
iix871speagoessenda – :
30+ men fragrance. A lot extraordinary things are happening there in the middle notes, there’s kind of hard to describe ingredients in this mixture as it smells so good together. It’s like why would you say it’s juniper, mace, cardamon etc. it’s just Lalique Equus. Then comes great Base – with luxurious woody /leathery/soapy musk. I wish it had better performance and sillage. It’s kind of delicate unfortunatelly, but everytime you smell yourself – you feel the class.
8.5/10
hacerix – :
In the last three days i revisited my Lalique collection and it’s fascinating to trace the line from the first Pour Homme (Lion) through Le Faune and Equus to its White culmination (which to me is the best of the four) Equus is reminiscent of White (if not in smell – though there are plenty of similarities) in its therapeutical effect. It is a soothing scent. Yet it does have a transitional character, feels a bit incomplete. It is Two Towers to White’s Return of the King.
On its own it stands as an atypical spicy woody scent that could have been one of Etro’s. A decently nice scent that is comforting and easy to wear.
As number three in the line it is the logical and excellent connection of Le Faune with White.

xiaomaqq – :
This is ok at best but nothing to write home about. It begins with a very nice smelling citrus (bergamot mainly) blend with a faint peppery undertone. But on the drydown (within a few minutes) the scent becomes one of realistic wood accord (I’m guessing this is the sequoia) with sweet nutmeg and violet leaf. The overall impression oddly is of a cappaccino. After a while, it ends up smelling like vanilla-musk but with violet leaf (it’s very boring to my nose and I’m not a huge fan). There are some notes I absolutely love in all their incarnations (like neroli) while others I just plain cannot stand if they are too prominent – and violet leaf is one of them. Hence, I’m not a huge fan of this fragrance. Sillage is moderate as is longevity (on the lower end for a eau de parfum). People who love wood colognes will probably like this a lot. But to me it smells like a refined version of Quorum Silver. It’s a like, not a love.
3.5/5
flair – :
I get a peppery sequoia smell out if this, which I love, thought I do wish it were more complex. It has better longevity on me in warm weather (I’m at about hour seven and still getting whafts) and it’s got the perfect moderate sillage. This was a blind buy and I’m pretty happy with it TBH.
logotip2008 – :
I have no idea why this edp has 4.2 rating. I could give 3/10. Nothing special (one of million-I couldnt recognise what makes it special/different), vety poor/weak smell and changed in to strong spicy after some time.
It was blind buy and I regret for this so much… even my friend that likes this kind of parfumes doesn’t like it. I asked more men.. and they didn’t like it…
kakarlaken – :
I had a sample of the fragrance in EDT, and the performance was very poor, so bought a bottle of EDP.
The performance difference is huge – with 2 sprays sillage and longevity are increased drastically.
Someone said this smelled like a chicken salad and mayonnaise sandwich – oddly, this is true. It also smells a bit like crayons, and a bit like pencil shavings – there is a woody/plastic aspect to it but overall it actually smells very natural.
Good for casual wear – an artistic, laid back fragrance. I would not wear to serious occasions – this is too woodsy and rustic.
If you imagine combining the smell of liquorice, cedar and raw tobacco, that’s similar to this. It has a lot of similarity with Parfum d’Homme by Montana.
Altestymaitte – :
An outstanding fragrance…i love it more and more each time i use this one! This is really a very pleasant smell. I only have one bottle and i will have to purchase one more…or i will have to save it with a lot of affection!Lalique made a really well done job. But, unfortunately, has failed a lot to allow the discontinuation of this gem.
simlahadasha – :
A very daring fragrance.
For me I get smoke, the dry down of a cedar note and a dry animalisitic note. This fragrance reminds me of a dry, maybe abandoned, ranch that used to have horses or cattle.
I get 4 to 6 hours and projection is moderate light, but the smell is distinctive so I will get more noticed than that.
I cannot think of a appropriate time to wear this besides hiking, camping, or at some replica or presentation for civil war reenactments or the like.
I gave this to my father , who doesn’t seem to dislike it.
I would recommend you sample if this smells interesting to you. This is niche in how daring it is, so be warned. Not for me , but the quality is good, like usually for lalique.
nik_-nik – :
2017 batch is absolutely bogus and very similar to spicebomb !!! Frustrating.
ko100praff – :
Beautiful. Unique. Luxurious. Pleasing.
I love Lalique Pour Homme.
I LOVE Equus.
I guess I love Sequoia. Who knew?
I am glad I found it. Thank you all for recommending this!
It is not long lasting though. Three hours max.
epr172speagoessenda – :
Lovely smooth and slightly sweet woods. Not generic woods – the smells of nature. It’s very similar to Carbone de Balmain, but deeper and less dry. This was certainly ahead of the curve for 2001. Really, Lalique can do no wrong in my eyes.
Alkximii – :
I got the chance finally to put my hand this beautiful scent, that I was running after since quiet long time.
Dominated by spices (cardamom,nutmeg) and woody notes, I have 3 words to describe it: Classy, Elegant and mature scent.
I have 3 Lalique perfumes other than this one, packaging, bottles, caps, juice color ….. are just perfect, which make each one of them an art work, but this one for me is a MASTERPIECE.
DAMFAT1402 – :
Very similar to Zara’s Casual Spice. I mean almost identical. The wood notes are there and they linger, I might say, even longer than the Lalique ones! I was actually pleasantly surprised by Zara on this one.
ssfa – :
It’s one of those unusual fragrances that you never smell anything like it before. You are used to the fresh citrus smells from 2000′ like Versace Eau Fraiche, Coolwater copycats, heavy classics from the 80′, many perfumes beares the same vibe.
Equus is not one of them. You won’t find anything similar.
For me the scent is fantastic and exquisite. The only thing that bothers me is the performance – longevity and sillage seems to be not satysfying, although this opinion is based only on sample.
VodolaZzz – :
I live in the Mountain West and know the “Mountain high-country-classy” vibe very well and love it. I think DrNDJas’s review nailed it….lol! Equus also reminds me of the Oregon High Desert where I grew up.
This is just a flat out beautiful fragrance and I can’t recommend it enough. Grab a bottle the first chance you get.
paladin_1995 – :
Lalique somehow just delivers. This is a well blended sequoia fragrance refined and well supported by citrusy scents, benzoin and a bit of cardamom which makes the whole thing become slightly sweet. This is a very well rounded, slightly sweet sequoia juice and if you ask me its very romantic and friendly on top of it. My first association with this fragrance would be the classy and relaxed atmosphere of those wonderful grand villas in southeast US in late 19th century surrounded by tall, old and beautiful sequoias, oaks and plants.
Btw, i clearly smell freshly brewed high quality black tea here. It must be the mixture of sequoia and some of those circuses.
sayan1902 – :
If you’ve ever been to the USA mountain west (Wyoming, Utah, Colorado), there exists a aesthetic of country/rustic posh: grand cabins, lots of natural wood, exposed log beams, expensive hand-made leather boots- think Jackson Hole, Park City, Aspen. This fragrance captures this vibe so well. It’s very woody- cedar up front (sequoia?), loads of it, evoking the favored building material of these places. At certain times when I wear this, the nutmeg and cardamom become prominent, lending depth and warmth to the composition. Just enough leather to toughen it up, but balanced by the violet leaf so it isn’t rugged. Mountain high-country-classy: you wear cowboy boots, but those $2000 hand-stitched pair of Luccheses ain’t ever kicked a pile of cow sh**. Oh, no sir.
Incredible quality, fantastic fragrance by Lalique. My love for this fragrance is rivaled only by my love for my Ford F-150 King Ranch.
ddulin – :
This is a fantastic classy woody, herbal scent which works exceptionally well in the cooler months. The drydown is incredibly smooth and well balanced, every note seems to sit in the composition perfectly which creates a warm alluring scent. Great longevity and moderate sillage with 2 sprays.
Top quality scent which could quite easily justify a much higher price tag.
Impressive stuff from Lalique
8/10
cuba515 – :
Here’s my take on the EDP: heavy cedar, some pine, mild spices in the background. Overall, a scent good for the fall and feels like it fits best outdoors. A scent for a hike in the fall foliage in New England or upstate New York.
A few said it smells like a hamster cage. Can’t deny the similarities as hamster bedding is often simply wood shavings (and Equus definitely is wood-dominant, especially in the dry down). But that comes off as very negative and this is a pleasant overall scent.
A 7/10 for me. Good buy if you have $30 to spend and want something for the fall that’ll be a great match to your Barbour jacket and Chelsea boots.
игорьч – :
Lalique Pour Homme Equus …
A special serene fragrance that has become something of an escape for me. I visualize an 18th century South American plantation home in a mountainous forest overlooking the ocean. The windows of the expansive mahogany-paneled kitchen are always open, allowing the familiar cardamom, nutmeg, and mace to mingle with the rare forest foliage and exotic woods outside … as cool ocean breezes weave through formal gardens of boxwood, juniper, and arborvitae. Civilized and unique, yet very natural.
I find Equus the most uplifting and pleasing of all Laliques. The downside is this eau-de-parfum does not feel any stronger than most of my EDTs. In some cases … weaker. I wish I could amplify it because I find myself spraying lots and not much is lasting. Maybe that will change in the cooler months … hoping so because this beautiful scent is a new favorite.
sashamaxymchuk – :
This is a great woody floral musk, and it’s one of the best values in the fragrance market, niche quality and composition, very unique and beautiful woods, realistic, yet overall very aromatic.
Get the EDP version so it lasts decently.
And it’s a great Fall fragrance.

Horse urine ? Really ? Everyone asking me what it is, this is remarkable smell for such a good price . I don’t understand some negative comments about this perfume. I bought this and love from first spray.
smollvell – :
I have the Encre noir, White and a couple of others from Lalique. Since I love the others and have read everything about this fragrance I blind bought this one. I don’t know if this frangance ‘simply’ is very special. But this one is Definitely not for me.
sameautheday – :
I am going to hate myself for realizing this, but side by side comparison with Spicebomb is virtually identical. Small change in the drydown but not much. No matter, I love this stuff!!
darda – :
I blind bought Equus for two reasons, I was impressed with Encre Noir, and the price. This EDP was under $30 when I bought it. For that price, I took a chance,
I should have bought two bottles.
Some fragrances grow on you over time, some stand out right away. This one was love at first sniff. Sure, you can break down the notes and try to decide what’s the main note, but why? It smells so good, and it’s unique. It’s one of the few fragrances I have been complimented on, and once another man asked me what I was wearing and where he could get it.
If you can find a good deal on it, try it.
Illilfumb – :
After reading all the comments and since I like Encre Noire I bought the Equus EDP blind – expecting a dry, very masculine scent. Boy was I disappointed – this is a comparatively sweet scent and more on the feminine side of unisex in my opinion (and the opinion of my colleagues). I gave the bottle (which is really nice and heavy) to a coworker, since she liked the scent and could see herself wearing it.
RCorps – :
Another winner from Lalique. Equus is a spicy, woody fragrance. The sequoia note is very prominent and natural smelling. This is a unique fragrance due to the sequoia base, sets it apart from wood notes you usually encounter like cedar.
Longevity is good for me. Projection is on the light side but it’s noticeable throughout the day.
piramida272727 – :
The opening is dominated initally by an oil paint and turpentine smell – and the impression of pepper. Whatever citrus is there is understated and is just smoothing off the introduction rather than giving an opening blast. This gives way to mostly vetiver in the heart, and the dry down is woody.
This is a very non-linear scent. It’s very complex, very earthy but refined, and I would say very masculine, owing mostly to the prominent vetiver. The evergreen notes are gorgeous – all deep smelling, nothing anywhere near the air freshener piney type.
It reminds me of my grandad, who is a painter and a carpenter, and smoked rollups. Oil paints, tobacco, and cut wood from a deep forest.
I would give it a 10/10.
zxy124InsuffBooni – :
This smells exactly like being on a newly-built cedar deck overlooking a fern-carpeted valley under a pine forest canopy after a rain shower while sipping a gin and tonic from the well-oiled saddle of your recently shampooed horse.
Everybody’s been there, right? 😉
In other words, a really unique scent – if you enjoy fragrances that give you a specific experience, and you think you’d enjoy the experience above, run don’t walk to get a bottle of this.
I agree with gedlive’s comment below – this is an exceptional cedar/woody-aromatic that will reallyshine in cool-to-cold weather, it’s an obscenely good deal. Lalique strikes again.
kondrat – :
To me this smells like trees in a forest mixed with petrol and pepper. It is actually quite sweet and its longevity is 8hrs on my skin. It certainly does not smell cheap, in fact very unique. In my opinion it is the ‘colder’ version of lalique white, they smell similar but this one has more depth.
Overall 8/10
alex5129252 – :
I do not know what some of the ppl below are talking about when it comes to short lived performance, must be chemistry???? This lasts a good 6 hrs on my skin. The silage is moderate, perfect. Anyway this fragrance is beautiful ppl. The spicy wood is magnificent. There is a woody smell in here that is just exotic, must be the blend of the Sequoia and the Brazilian Rosewood and with the other notes in the mix….. Absolutely beautiful!! I have 5 Lalique fragrances now and they are ALL magnificent.
andspb – :
I’ve had this one for a few weeks now and I have to say I wasn’t a huge fan at first. It has however grown on me. Its a comforting smell that has something to it that seems just slightly feminine to me. for that reason, i don’t wear it out very often. That said, it really has grown on me a lot. sometimes I’ll just spray just a bit on my wrist before bed.

redgorka – :
Another great Lalique fragrance.
Equus is woody, crisp, fresh, and light.
This is one of the ideal scents you’d want to be wearing as a man on a beautiful summer day. The best way I can describe this scent is to imagine you’re walking down a path next to the ocean. There are large trees around and the wind is blowing slightly. It’s about 2pm in the afternoon. You’re wearing a white cotton collared button down and youre with your woman who’s wearing a straw hat, also wearing white. You’re just waking, enjoying the landscape, laughing and being; you feel free. That’s what equus is to me.
Maybe to Lalique it’s the feeling of riding a horse and having the wind blow past you and all the scents that are captured in the air.
10/10.. could be worn spring, summer, fall. Summer will be ideal I imagine.
GagWareetex – :
I have a bottle with a few sprays missing if anyone is interested in a swap. It smells good, just not for me.
Zorkov – :
Equus is my favorite frag from Lalique.
I used to think He Wood Rocky Mountain was comparible to Equus, but now after 200 reviews and mostly a niche collection, I have gotten rid of He Wood, and continue to grow in my appreciation of Equus; the best woody floral I can think of.
The woods are very realistic, the amyris, sequoia, and other woody notes, then I get violet leaf and musk. The other notes are nuances, the nutmeg and cardomom add some nice spiciness. Very unique and well blended.
If this is getting disscontinued it will be missed, and prices will go up, as we try to get the remaining bottles on ebay…
Yes, this reminds me of Creed Spice and Wood that sells for $1,000/ bottle.
I did a side by side this morning, comparing Spice and Wood with Equus. Spice and wood may be the best cedar scent in the world, as Creed Boise du Portugal has the best sandalwood.
They are most similar because of the stark, realistic woodiness. Spice and wood has a bit of apple and bergamot to brighten the woods and a bit of spice, very simple beautifull fragrance. Equus has that stark woodiness I like in colder weather, yet the composition, with the violet leaf, nutmeg, mace, and some benzoin richness, I think Equus may be the better, more enjoyable scent. Performance and quality are better with Spice and Wood.
I would like to get Spice and Wood someday to cap off my collection, maybe when I retire…
Rating: 9/10

Rockstar..!!
Different and unique – definitely a “best kept secret” in the fragrance community. The blend of juniper, floral, and woodsy notes of Lalique’s Pour Home Equus is fantastic. I will also add that it is so different/unique, I find it addictive – I am routinely lifting my arm, hoping to catch a lingering hint of this beauty that I sprayed on the cuff of my sleeve. While I am a fan of this fragrance, I am somewhat disappointed in the performance. Equus lasted about 4 hours on me and a bit longer on my clothing. After the first hour, projection dissipates to skin level. Geared more for fall and winter wear, Equus is office safe and will be a crowd pleaser. My final tally for this gem is 4.5 stars out of 5. If performance was greater, this could easily fall into the Top 5 fragrances. Regardless, this juice is good – Equus is modestly priced, smells great, and carries a positive aura about it that says, “life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful”… You will notice the confidence when wearing. Highly recommend adding to any collection.
Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting…

Guy if you want to feel sexy, classy, elegant. It is the ONE!
Samat_245 – :
The opening smells like you’re in a really nice forest, but not a piney one, with a great cologne on. Love it! And that later it just smells like a really nice forest once the fruits wear off. This is my favorite outdoorsy scent, even better than He Wood Rocky Mountain, IMO. The longevity is pretty good which is great because this IS a smell I like to find on my old clothes. That wonderful tree, sap, juniper smell that is perfectly balanced and enjoyable, comforting, like a big hug from a forest. 8.5/10 overall and 10/10 when I factor in the price. Great value as of now.
bfgr533 – :
This aromatic spicy scent really attracts people, I get compliments whenever I wear it. Smells classy, yet inoffensive for daily basis. It has medium projection and longevity, I would give 8/10 for this handsome perfume.
dbrnjh – :
This scent deserves credit for staying on point with the overall theme of leather, equine stables and outdoors.
For anyone lucky or unlucky enough to have experienced working around horses, it can be said Equus is as close as one will ever get to standing close to a horse with full saddle after a ride in the morning. It is unmistakable in fact. A combo of warm leather, redwoods juniper and sequoia all align to create, ultimately, the warm and very animalistic effect of horse sweat, leather saddles, rides through wooded areas and last but not least, horse urine. Lalique got this one spot on. Put a horse on the bottle and there is no doubt there is a horse in the juice.
One of my all time faves .. 9/10
ИльЯильТЫ – :
Like I’m sure many others, upon initial application I was a bit put off by what registers as a strong cedar aroma. I thought, I hope this settles down and as is at least as nice as Azzaro Visit. The “cedar” note of course is the Sequoia which is listed as an ingredient. When the dry down occurs this fragrance truly opens up in a delightful way. The gin like juniper appears lending a bit of a boozy note and then the pleasant spices of cardamon and nutmeg merge with some tart but smooth citrus. The “cedar” retracts some but remains very evident but not overpowering. Instead married with the other notes it is nothing at all like a “hamster cage” scent one smells. Lalique Equus is actually a sophisticated fragrance, more mature and gentlemanly than it’s more friendly and more cedary little brother Visit. LaLique Equus is a woody, herbal fragrance but not at all bitter and while herbal it is nothing like an ’80’s powerhouse and thankfully nothing like the insipid fruity, vanilla or unisex fragrances that many seem to like today. This is more appropriate for a mature man, not necessarily an older man but a mature man. LaLique Equuscan be worn for many situations and occasions, forma, work or even romance and could be a signature fragrance for the right man.
Fluserbulsesk – :
(EDP) On my skin I get a lot of vetiver from this after the citrus opening dies down. It actually reminded me of Guerlain’s Vetiver if you took away that slight anamalic note it has. Equus is warm and earthy and smells like a very high quality product. It is more of a mature scent as well. Because of this mature vibe and me only being 19 I feel like this is a special occasion scent, maybe as I get older I may wear a bit more liberally. The bottle is also incredibly stunning. Overall I think that for the price you can find this for it’s an absolute bargain, maybe a good blind buy if you like vetiver/ earthy scents. 8.5/10

sistamsyng – :
Last night while buying milk at my local store, a well dressed lady standing close to me remarked ” where are you going that you smell so nice” . I had sprayed just twice with Equus before leaving my house. Possibly the second or third time in many years that I have received an unsolicited compliment like that.
I believe Equus performs much better in more cooler humid conditions. As do most scents with sillage and longevity issues. Hot days and really no point in even applying a fragrance like Equus at all. Save the stuff for cooler humid days in Winter. It is an amazing feat by Lalique to create this wonderful quality scent . Probably the best bargain out there. I have gone ahead and added 3 extra bottles to my collection.
