For the horse girls

So I ride horses. They smell. Kinda nice in my opinion, it takes all sorts.

Scents that both survive and compliment the olfactory onslaught of horse in my experience are thus far limited to:

Chergui Eau de Parfum

Original Musk Blend No. 1

Dzing!

Any other contenders? I don't tend to like leather dominant fragrances very much so those are iffy.

Galop d'Hermès

Derby

Ribot

Maison d’Etto is a niche fragrance house inspired by equestrian culture. The brand’s founder channeled her deep love for horses and the equestrian lifestyle into the brand’s identity. The perfumes are named after specific horses and are designed to capture emotions, memories, and the sensory experiences associated with riding, nature, and the bond between humans and horses.
Rotano smells like horses (it's the animalic one of the bunch). And there's also a hay-centric fragrance. Just test them all...

Another horse girl here! 😁 Galop d'Hermès definitely. And Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum smells exactly like a new saddle leather to me, absolutely gorgeous. You could also try Stable Cologne.

@Lempi horse girl high five!

Interesting picks! I quite like Hermès as a house, but somehow I haven't come across Galop d'Hermès yet.

Maison d'Etto has no retailers in Europe yet, boo. I'll keep an eye out for samples.

Since you dislike leather and most of my ouds are leathery, I can only think of "Luxor | XerJoff".

Fits the bill nicely with some enveloping myrrh sweetness to boot! 🐴❤️

Ive heard Equipage Eau de Toilette but haven’t smelled it myself.

Anubis has an awesome dry suede that imo feels quite horsey

Try this Arabian Horse

Ruade . i recently had the opportunity to test it in a local niche shop. It's incredible, the smell of a stable (old saddle, hay, horse sweat), and the sudden apparition of the narcissus.

And also another one from the same brand, Equistrius. I didn't smell it, but i heard it is described as a horse's breath.

Unfortunately, Ruade is very expensive (like VERY).

GOOD LORD @ Ruade - it sounds amazing though. I know some of their line (Ambre Russe most notably) but those prices sound positively reasonable in comparison.

Actually come to think of it, Ambre Russe might also be horse proof

Thanks for mentioning Ruade. Seems absolutely awesome. Will have to get a sample at least. Comes in 1.7oz size to get the price down.
