pour Homme Equus Lalique

Juniper berry crackles like a freshly struck match, its resinous snap immediately tempered by cardamom's warm pepper. A knife-like citrus zest cuts across both, creating an almost herbal freshness that feels more alpine than Mediterranean—you're in a pine forest at dawn, not lounging poolside.

The wood emerges gradually, sequoia's dry resin settling in like furniture being rearranged in a familiar room. Mace's dusty spice amplifies, whilst violet leaf introduces an unexpected green austerity—this phase feels cooler, more intellectual, the fragrance revealing its architectural bones as the spiced opening softens into something more contemplative.

Amyris and vetiver anchor the composition into skin-scent territory, benzoin Siam adding a subtle sweetness that prevents the finish from becoming purely vetiver's grassy whisper. What remains is woody and faintly resinous—a whisper of the opening's complexity now reduced to the barest breath, present only when you move or when someone leans close.
