The story behind the bottle.
Jean-Claude Ellena, the master perfumer behind Equipage Geranium by Hermès, reimagined the classic masculine fragrance from the brand’s Les Classiques collection in 2015. This Woody Aromatic scent captures a balance between freshness and warmth, with spicy accords and geranium at its core. The composition opens with an invigorating blend of rose and mint, leading into a heart that includes herbal notes, before settling into a powdery and woody base anchored by sandalwood.
Apply two sprays to ensure the spicy freshness holds up throughout the day. The base notes will develop fully within an hour, so give it time before reapplying.

Jean-Claude Ellena
The perfumer of transparencyJean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.
“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
