Barrett Fragrances Lapis Equus
Lapis Equus by Barrett Fragrances is a unisex perfume created for those who appreciate expressive woody-fougère compositions with a distinctive character.
This fragrance comes in perfume concentration, or extrait, so its scent feels dense, rich and exceptionally long-lasting.
The Lapis Equus formula combines the freshness of citrus and fruity accords, the green coolness of lavender, the spicy energy of spices and the gentle warmth of a woody-gourmand base.
Thanks to this balance, the fragrance is not limited to a single mood: it opens bright and clean, then becomes more floral before revealing a deep, warm and enveloping character in the drydown.
Character and Development
On the skin, Lapis Equus opens brightly: juicy apple and citrus nuances create a feeling of freshness, while lavender gives the composition a composed fougère character.
As it develops, floral nuances of geranium, jasmine and violet join in, lending the fragrance elegant softness and greater complexity.
Lapis Equus has a very powerful sillage, so the composition remains noticeable even when applied moderately.
It smells energetic and confident during the first few hours, then gradually softens, leaving a spicy-woody trail with vanilla warmth on the skin and clothes.
Who It Suits and When to Wear It
Officially, Lapis Equus is classified as a unisex fragrance and can unfold just as naturally on women's and men's skin.
Its fougère-woody style will especially appeal to those who enjoy fragrances without excessive sweetness, but with an expressive base, excellent longevity and a noticeable presence.
The composition is well suited to cool weather, when spicy and woody notes reveal themselves most fully.
Lapis Equus is suitable for an evening out, a business meeting, a special occasion and any situation where you want to emphasize your individuality.
For a small room or a hot day, it is best to start with just a minimal number of sprays: the precise dosage for skin and clothing is not specified in the available information, and the very strong sillage calls for restraint.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The fragrance was created by Ross Barrett, the brand's owner and perfumer.
In Lapis Equus, the author combines a classic fougère structure with modern woody depth: the fresh opening gradually develops into a spicy, floral and slightly gourmand scent.
It is the contrast between the cool top accords and the rich base that makes this release memorable.
Lapis Equus does not aim to be an inconspicuous everyday fragrance: its powerful sillage and extrait concentration are intended for devotees of expressive perfumery.
