Smell like yourself: 5 trending second skin scents

Equus is a unisex cologne by Red Deer Grove, an American brand with a particular interest in myths, legends and the aesthetics of dark fantasy.
This composition evokes images of wild nature and woodland landscapes, where fresh greenery meets noble woody nuances and a warm amber accord.
Equus brings together aromatic, balsamic, floral, fruity, green and woody facets.
Thanks to this combination, the fragrance smells fresh, spicy-green and deep at the same time, going beyond the usual idea of a light cologne.
Its unisex positioning makes it an appealing choice for those who prefer expressive fragrances without being tied to traditional gender classifications.
At first, the composition feels like a walk through a forest clearing: juicy apple and wild herbs create a lively, slightly cool green effect.
Sage adds aromatic clarity, while clover softens the herbal character with a delicate floral nuance.
Gradually, Equus becomes denser and more textured, unfolding through fir needles, oak and patchouli.
The final accord is built around amber and woody nuances. It retains a sense of natural strength, while becoming warmer, deeper and more pronounced on the skin.
Amber provides a soft, rounded balsamic quality, while the woody notes sustain the image of the forest and give the composition a pronounced texture.
According to the product details, Equus has very strong sillage. It is therefore best viewed as a noticeable fragrance accent that needs room to unfold.
It is suitable for cool weather, evening outings and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality with a rich green and woody scent.
For the office, small spaces or warm weather, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess the fragrance after a few minutes.
Exact recommendations for applying Equus to skin and clothing are not provided, so the optimal amount should be determined gradually, taking into account your personal sensitivity to intense compositions.
On fabric, the fragrance may last longer than on skin, while its development on skin will depend on the temperature and the wearer's individual characteristics.
Equus is not part of a stated collection, and information about its release year, perfumer and other concentrations is unavailable.
At the same time, the fragrance's profile clearly reflects Red Deer Grove's direction: a combination of natural imagery, a dark forest atmosphere and a fantastical mood.
If you enjoy green, coniferous and woody compositions with a fruity accent, Equus may be an unconventional way to discover the brand.
For comparison, you might consider Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Granada Salvia, Brocard Lykke or S Parfum Amber Night.
These fragrances are listed as similar options, but Equus stands out through its combination of apple, sage, wild herbs, fir needles, oak and patchouli, underscored by very strong sillage.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top, middle and base notes of Equus have not been disclosed separately, so the composition is best understood as a harmonious blend of eight accords.
The notes include amber, apple, clover, patchouli, sage, fir needles, wild herbs and oak.
Apple and clover add freshness and a soft fruity-floral nuance, while sage and wild herbs create a distinctive green character.
Fir needles, oak and patchouli form a woody, coniferous base with a natural character. Amber completes the composition with a warm balsamic accent and enhances its rich sillage.
