Equestrian by Sonoma Scent Studio presents a lush, sweetly green fantasy of horseback riding and pastoral fields, with an apple-heavy opening that dominates the composition. The scent is built around a crisp, juicy apple note that gives way to warm hay, soft leather, and earthy woody elements—creating a gourmand-chypre character that leans more toward sweet, naturalistic apple than animalic or barnyard realism. The green hay and mossy undertones add depth, while the base of patchouli, sandalwood, and labdanum gives a quietly rich drydown. A slight spiciness and brown leather aspect appear mid-way, and the fragrance holds close to the skin with moderate sillage. It's not a literal representation of a horse or barn, lacking the sweaty, warm animalic notes some associate with equestrian smells—instead, it evokes an imagined world of green fields, apples, and clean country air. Longevity is moderate to long, making it ideal for daytime wear in spring and autumn. Several users praise the quality of ingredients and the cohesive blending, though some find it too sweet or overly simple.
