Equipage by Hermes

Hermes Equipage is a bracing retro-splash of woodsy, old-fashioned masculine aftershaves. Warm and spicy, it’s as if some laboratory technician dumped a vat of Old Spice into a vat of English Leather, then tossed in a Brinks truck full of cold hard cash for that special Hermes touch.

Equipage is direct and uncomplicated, as confident and virile as a phalanx of dark-suited business types with thick hair combed back, square jaws scraped clean, who stride into sun filled, wood-paneled executive offices at 7:30 a.m. and immediately start dialing numbers without pausing to take in the view.

If your ambition is to work your way to the top, Equipage will provide the impression that you’re already there.
