Masculin Equateur

Second day in a row I am wearing Equateur: the heat is unbearable (over 100 F) and Equateur is one of the few perfumes up to the task. The lemon opening is full throttle, but as I love lemon notes, I love it as many won't huuuge silage for about 15/ 20 minutes. Then it abruptly changes directions and become a lemon/mint somewhat sweet scent, reminiscent of Acqua di Gioia, but gradually it changes course again and incorporates the lavander and sandalwood and becomes sort of a leatherish scent, a soft comfortable semi sweet leather, which is cosy, very sophisticated with soft but identifiable sillage at the same time. It is the best phase, the dry down and the one that lasts and lasts (even in extreme heat Equateur can clock 6 hours and in cooler temps up to 12 hours).

Wonderful perfume for high temperatures, long lasting (7-hours plus in temps over 100 F) with a sof but persistent sillage. Its main notes are lemon, mint, sandalwood and lavender. Opens a bit harsh with a burst of refreshing lemon segues into a minty lemon with touches of lavender and evolves into a lemon/sandalwood drydown that is very elegant, reminiscent of Chance Eau Fraiche (and to me better, since it is creamier and sweeter) and lasts for a long time. Also very inexpensive. Masculin Equateur hails from a time Bourjois had excellent noses, including François Demachy who was reponsible for Masculin Ouragan (a much less interesting scent on me).

More Francois Demachy magick for the budget-conscious man. Rugged coziness with a classic 80's powerhouse feel, this could very well be a forgotten Azzaro flanker conjured from the abyss. The mintiness lends a sharp bite to the composition that continues to persist with flexible lavender reinforcing the cooling feel. The classically built scent pyramid conveys masculinity of yore in a commanding way. Ridiculously good stuff for the price.

a very pleasant aromatic fougere that is long lasting with great silage and very good price to buy.9/10.

Nice cheapie fragrance ! Pretty much close to eau de rochas pour Homme👌 good price value!
