Rays of sunlight that stream through the dense foliage, twinkling off drops of dew. It has a sparkly zing in its opening that is very interesting. I mean almost identical. The Lalique house is top drawer, but slightly under the radar. I love this blend of juniper and cardamon, which reminds me of Hermes d'Voyage. Sometimes I happen upon a page and I'm shocked to find I haven't posted a review for a scent that I've owned for ages and am highly accustomed to. It's a knockout. This is a fantastic classy woody, herbal scent which works exceptionally well in the cooler months. Smells like powdery hay and hamster cage bedding shavings with a pinch of spice. Three wordsamazing, fantastic, Unique! great, all year round smell for men with class. Great, great, great fragrance. They are very similar, and I will wear and enjoy them both, but the newer version is just nicer to me. If youve 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. For the money, this is a fine fragrance worthy of some time spent exploring its many angles. Horse urine ? I was actually pleasantly surprised by Zara on this one. It is very autumnal, wintery and outdoorsy, but it is understated so can also be quite formal. If you are under 25y/o don't blind buy this. Probably my least favorite from Lalique's offerings. More like a creation from the mind of a talented artisan. In the end, this is not for me, smells a bit mature for me and quite cheap. Safe blind buy? This horsey bottle comes with its own fresh hay scent. Lalique Equus has been on my Wishlist for some time because Id heard their perfume house was known for very subtle, even delicate blends that evolved over time and the rumours I heard were true: Another winner from Lalique! and being born into a year-of-the-horse just sealed the metaphorical deal! no, no, noyou don t get it at all..equus is the best offer from lalique! I have new bottle of this with horse head painted over the bottle. I only have one bottle and i will have to purchase one moreor i will have to save it with a lot of affection!Lalique made a really well done job. Marissa Zappas Announces A New Collection + A Giveaway! Mountain high-country-classy: you wear cowboy boots, but those $2000 hand-stitched pair of Luccheses aint ever kicked a pile of cow sh**. I think DrNDJas's review nailed it.lol! If this one is a bit too smooth/subtle for your taste, try Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Vetiver. In the winter, when the weather gets cold, we take comfort in those things that give us warmth and a sense of well-being. Here's my take on the EDP: heavy cedar, some pine, mild spices in the background. great scent, that impressed me from the very first sniff.. 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). Frustrating. A little more modern than Lion. I know it was great on me and short lastingbut what a GREAT scent! LaLique Equuscan be worn for many situations and occasions, forma, work or even romance and could be a signature fragrance for the right man. Performance of my two bottles is about the same (which is, not great). Everyone asking me what it is, this is remarkable smell for such a good price . Then I went to their website and it's like the one I bought, the horse is stamped on the back and it looks cheap. for that reason, i don't wear it out very often. Would not repurchase or recommend this otherwise fantastic fragrance for these reasons. FAIR performance. I adore Spicebomb, and this definitely reminds me of that, but my husband also detected some Cowboy Grass in it, which is also another love for me. This smells very similar to Zwitsal, the baby oil that I used when I am still in kindergarden. But I love the fragrance itself, far more than I expected to. Beautiful bottle, looks great with the right lighting around it. The reviewer below me mentioned Tonka Imperiale and Spiriteuse by Guerlain- this all just goes to show this is a very very high quality smelling fragrance. Much more likely to impress than to offend. You start enjoying Equus from the moment you open the box, then the bottle and the smell the mind anticipates and create the illusion that you are already getting the sequoia note (or actually get it, if you have already spray it). Maybe bright sunny fall day too? This is a bit of a one dimensional sequoia scent, but it is very well done and unique in its detailed recreation of this particular wood. A perfect woody smell! I look forward to wearing this again to see if my opinion has changed, because I generally find these strong wood fragrances to be too harsh. Online right now: 2,681, Fragrantica in your language: There's a bit of sweetness in it too to keep it a bit on the sexy side. Not for me. It's fresh like a forest, yet spicy. Based on great review about Lalique Pour Homme Equus, I got this as a blind buy and disappointed. 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. It is a go-to cold weather casual scent for megreat for flannel shirts, heavy wool sweaters, etc. Ok,ok.received the edp today.Blind buy,naturally. 8.5/10. It doesn't have a great strength, and it is moderately priced. Excellent. Tons of wood with a bit of citrus; light but strong, if that makes sense. I blind bought this and it arrived on yesterday and so far I like it, I get the woods that reminded others of the pet store, and I also get the woody fresh smell reported by the others. I can't ask for more! Become a member of this online perfume community and you will be able to add your own reviews. Beautiful scent with horrible longevity and sillage. I have the EDT and the EDP. Not too loud, but longevity is great on my skin. Differ to all other ones I collect, white and la faune. And not so much because of the scent, but because of it's performance. i always loved this perfume never done me wrong not good in extreme heat tho, i love this smell it's one of a kind a good signature scent definitely i would recommend it for sure. i really did blind-buy this because of that beautiful horses head etched into the glass! I finaly found my signature fragrance!! Like I'm sure many others, upon initial application I was a bit put off by what registers as a strong cedar aroma. It's gonna be my signature scent. Not generic woods - the smells of nature. First blast reminded me of a male version to Cartier Baiser Vol, This is one of the absolutely most sexy and elegant scents ever! It is quite dynamic. That is what its all about. This is my favorite outdoorsy scent, even better than He Wood Rocky Mountain, IMO. Unique, lalique's signature type of fragrance. I would absolutely not worry about over spraying this and in all seriousness, that may be required for even minimal projection. Blown away by how brilliantly unique this beautiful fragrance is. I have the EDP. Its very woody- cedar up front (sequoia? 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. I liked the scent but very weak. Sadly moderate longevity. It's a modern mature feeling that it gives off. Opens with a blast of sweet cedarwood, patchouli and becomes very aromatic and woody sandalwood with a resinous terpentine dryness,to the sweetness vanilla,Toulu Balsam,tonka bean and licorice is added,the licorice is very present on the dry down blended with the cedar and is more intense on the EDP version. I wonder if it was reformulated as well. Oh, no sir. Based on Lalique's note list, I suspect the "sequoia" is a combination of nutmeg, mace, cedar, and amyris (similar to sandalwood), or perhaps the whole mirage is from combined synthetics. You see them, breath them and taste them. Equus also reminds me of the Oregon High Desert where I grew up. ~ Equus was pure and simple a blind buy based on an infatuation with an amazing Lalique bottle! So classy, elegant and sophisticated. Different and brill! Not too strong so you can't over spray it (i like that). Lalique never disappoint! This one smells very modern even though it is 20 years old! The art of bottle design is very wonderful. A scent for a hike in the fall foliage in New England or upstate New York. I think there's leather too but it's the idea of leather, not in-your-face, just enough to give this a classic equus vibe like other perfumes in this genre but not over the top. Spice bomb opening, Issey Miyake L'eau Bleue Pour Homme middle, and Encre Noir dry down. Projection is weak after 2 hours; but stays long time (EDP). I freakin' love it! I like rare kind of perfumes. As this fragrance heads down into the mid, the spices and citrus come through with the cardamom, nutmeg, mace and a bit of citrus (not over powering citrus). Equus is a spicy, woody fragrance. Really, Lalique can do no wrong in my eyes. I blind bought this based on the note breakdown after buying Encre Noire and Encre Noire Sport and being really impressed by the brand. I just obtained the EDP of thiskinda love it alreadyit really does smell like a pet storebut that doesn't seem to matter, LOL. Particularly revolutionary composition. I blind bought this several years ago because of the horse etching on the bottle. For me it is not about the scent alone (which is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING), but also how this makes me feel when I am wearing it. I'm guessing this was recently reformulated because I got really terrible performance which my bottle which kind of ruined the fragrance for me. The citrus top works in well and the spices aren't sickling either well balanced and quite classy. But what I found interesting was that at times if I put my nose to my arm I wouldn't smell anything but at other times when I was going about my day, I got whiffs of woods and pepper. Thanks. :D Does that sound weird? Very similar to Zaras Casual Spice. The original Lalique Pour Homme (Lion head bottle, by Maurice Roucel) is much better. Oh my lord what a wonderful unique hidden gem this is! Sequoia: I would never have imagined it! Beautiful, unique niche scent. Possibly the second or third time in many years that I have received an unsolicited compliment like that. Great longevity and moderate sillage with 2 sprays. Purchased blind from a discounter in EDT concentration - based on my experience with Lalique Lion I expect the EDT to have more citrusy brightness and less Iso E Super. That said, it really has grown on me a lot. From the perfume top I get very little citrus and a huge blast of nutmeg. Probably my fave juniper notes perfume. I found a miniature of this perfume, grab it. If you have any cheerful memories connected with circus you'll love it too. But wait 15 mins (after the wet opening) and you will be drawn into a more rich and deep wood-note. Lalique Equus is suitable for the spring ,fall and winter. Equus is only my second blind buy, my first was Thierry Mugler Pure Havana which I love a lot therefore based on reviews on this forum I took a chance with Lalique. Lalique perfume just have its own league and very different from other generic fragrances. And it leaves me headache free so the EDT gamble pays out. It takes quite a few, few sprays to get any action outta this stuff.. Love the cedar(ish) woods. Perfect every day scent! I had a sample of the fragrance in EDT, and the performance was very poor, so bought a bottle of EDP. The scent is spicy- woody but is not heavy. I like Equus better than Encre Noir. A perfect autumnal fragrance. Initially sweetish, spicy and cedary, it dries down to a spicy sandalwood that is quite lovely. Good one! :)Actually,the perfume reminds me of something from the pastlike 90 vibe.It is original,nothing close to todays mass appealing offerings,so youll smell great and original.I must say that Im very,very happy with this purchase,and I would Highly recommend it. 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. 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). This fragrance takes me on a journey through a vast land with well-defined groves of prehistoric trees. Overall, it's an awesome release and highly recommended. Only 3 hours performance is my only cfitics. I'm wearing LPH Equus right now and what I like the most is the quality. . Great value as of now. Enough musk underneath to keep it interesting, too. Epicene Gamma IFF: The Common Part of Spicy Men's Colognes of the 1980s. Truly worth for the name it bears and lasting creation of all times. It's a pity. The longevity is pretty good which is great because this IS a smell I like to find on my old clothes. Like a love you know is wrong for you but you just can't resist her soft violet touch. If my thoughts on PHE seem uncertain it's because they are but one thing is certain my opinion of this beautiful bottle itself will always draw me in for just one more spray. It's definitely got that barnyard vibe (dusty hay, cedar chips and dried manure). And wearing Equus I feelHappy!Calm.Relaxed,Elegant.Sophisticated.One-of-a-kind.Extraordinary.And thisThis for me is worth so much more than couple of bucks they are asking for it! The EDP is not stronger than the EDT .The EDP is more spicy and the EDT is more woody. A faint whisper of violet upon deep inhalation. Soft sillage and projection. This is more appropriate for a mature man, not necessarily an older man but a mature man. You are absorbed into the woods when you are there. I give this a 10/10. Which one is worth to purchase as a full bottle? Reminds me a bit of mulled wine. Also that it's a more affordable, everyday-wear sport version of Creed Royal Oud. More like a very expensive glass of cool lemon-lime juice. Gorgeous fragrance very happy with it, if your thinking about it then don't just buy it. Lalique Pour Homme Equus was launched in 2001. a beautiful fragrance, I like but don't love. Interesting to read others review. In terms of originality, uniqueness- Lalique's scents are in the class of their own (maybe except Lion).
