Equipage Geranium, from Hermès was released in 2015. The perfumer behind this creation is Jean-Claude Ellena. The notes are Geranium, Sandalwood, Spicy Notes.
I consider Bel Ami Vetiver to be the best flanker of all time. With that in mind this is probably the second best of all time. I know JCE has a long and distinguished history and even at Hermes his greatest achievement will probably go down as TdH, but, for my money I would (and do) wear BMV and this more often as I consider them to be his best work at Hermes.
Here he took a true 70's masterpiece of a man's scent in Equipage and without destroying the underlying notes was able to snap it in to modern day. In simplest terms I smell a manly floral topping mixed with light spice overlying the traditional equipage powering along in the back ground. I know from reading the notes break down this is geranium (maybe a slight rose) and clove, however, to my nose I may not pick out each individual note but get the overall affect of it.
I am glad I have a bottle. I wouldn't mind picking up a second one. That said, these days this goes for crazy money if you can even find one, but, if you do you won't be disappointed.
