Our view
Corpus Equus pays tribute to the proud, imperious temperament of an Arabian stallion: Tequila, a spirited white thoroughbred and Naomi Goodsir’s show-jumping companion. An animal perfume with assertive leather notes, wrapping leather in rose petals, with cigarette ash, musk and an infusion of amber. A “snow-black” composition, as deep as an Outrenoir by Pierre Soulages.
When to wear it
In autumn and winter, in the evening. A powerful, singular unisex fragrance.

If you love Corpus Equus…
Try Cuir Velours, a softer leather, or Trudon’s Bruma, a horsewoman’s leather.
