   |  A sparkling, good natured masculine fragrance that perfectly balances a soft, non-resinous pine note, a refreshing and sparkling masculine floral accord, and a just enough warmth (tonka, patchouli, perhaps a touch of tobacco) mixed with the remaining woods in the base to prevent any notion that this scent might be harsh or austere. Simply wonderful. It's classic, but never dated, and warm but never heavy in the least. I just feel great wearing it. Major thumbs up.12 November 2009 |
 |  Equipage is a classic scent that opens with a blast of pine and soft citrus and progresses to a powdery soft, somewhat medicinal base. I find Equipage similar to the original Polo in its herbal/medicinal accords, but far more expensive-smelling and far more sophisticated. I recommend it highly. I must also add that the resinous, smoky accord in the base is interesting. Longevity and sillage are poor, but if they weren’t this wouldn’t be refined.10 November 2009 |
  | A very green scent with citrus topnotes and lots of moss and pine. Personally, I can't stand pine notes – it just comes across as so dated (circa ‘70s and early-‘80s). Obviously, this one just isn’t for me. [Original submission date: 15 January 2007] 28 June 2009 |
  | A bit too powdery for me, though still a very fine fragrance. Why not a thumbs up? Because it's a bit dull. Somewhere between this well-bred gentleman and the growling animal of the (original) Bel Ami lies Hermes finest take on leather, the oldest of the trio, Eau D' Hermes (1951) Is Hermes retrograde? 18 June 2009 |

| Talk about evocative. It takes me to some of the happiest places I know- big stone rooms poorly heated with inadequate fires; freezing days out hunting, and waking up in the middle of the night, having been pushed out of bed by my dogs. This fragrance is as old as I am, and I absolutely love it. I don't know how you can be smoky and woody, but also fresh and slightly floral, but this one does it, and I'm hooked. 01 April 2009 |
 | It's certainly abstract, unique, and well blended, as well as being pleasant. It is a little musky, for those of you who don't want that quality (you have been warned!), but it is a clear, cool, non-oppressive musk. A true "quiet performer." If you want something "egdy"' or avante garde, this isn't it. It's excellent for when you don't want to offend anyone but you want something that is pleasing and interesting. 09 March 2009 |
