It's on fire!
With a resounding kick, this scent starts and screams smoke. Burning wood. Burning straw. Dripping sweat of anxiety and fear.
And I'm already sure this is going to be a different experience than the brand's other scents.

Sure, the adjectives for this scent are 'animalic', 'wild', and 'dark', and the brand already has a deep, smoky scent in its portfolio with Bois d'Ascèse. But the smokiness that occurs here is a whole other level.
It's bitingly smoky, burningly harsh, dust-dry, and yet somehow oily. One thing for sure: not ordinary.

But unlike the other smoky representative of the brand, the strength of the burning material decreases with time. Then cedar, amber and rose emerge. In particular, I was worried about the rose, but it does not appear floral and sweet, but in its sharp form, which delicately emphasizes the animalic character, yet at a distance seems soapy.

Smoke remains dominant. Only join the rest of the players and he becomes quieter. The fragrance itself, however, never. The remains loud. Wild just. And dirty he is.

Four to five hours in the spectacle, the fire is then extinguished. Also no more glow is there. Instead, cedar and the aforementioned pungent rose.
Fades Corpus Equus then after about seven hours with even for me pleasant rose and a creamy wood-hay mixture. Delicious.

Durability and intensity as always terrific. But definitely far from the elegance of his fellow fragrances, a completely different caliber of everything actually. An absolute statement fragrance, without a doubt. Also again a work of art, as usual from the others, only this time a very bold, daring work of art, which - I would argue - will not have as many lovers:inside, as the other five.

The other happy ending
This fragrance catapults me back to an evening in a Berlin club: Sisyphos to be precise, last fall. The location is designed more for the summer, so in the fall you suffer in the outdoor area. At least if, like the snoop, you're a mimosa when it comes to colder temperatures. Fortunately, there is a fireplace to provide warmth and comfort. And so it was that I found myself staring into the fire that evening, feeling incredibly alone. Of course I wasn't alone. What do you think? It's cold, I'm at a party and there's a fireplace? Of course there are people here. The fire was smoking nicely and enveloped me in a cloud of scent that smelled something like Corpus Equus. Do you want to smell like that? To be honest, I always tried to avoid the clouds of smoke because I didn't find it particularly desirable. But fortunately, the fragrance has more facets. Even if it's not specified, I smell pine needles. Well... back to the evening. So while I was doing my evasive dance in front of the fire, noticing the smoke in my hair and thinking the evening was over, an incredibly attractive man in a leather jacket suddenly stood next to me. He was also staring into the fire, holding a red rose in his hands. Where did he get this rose? Okay, I made up the rose thing. But that's the way it is with fragrances... Suddenly a rose appears and you really wonder where it's supposed to have come from. But the man in the leather jacket really did exist. He smiled at me and my mood suddenly improved. He rescued me from my low mood and we lived happily ever after without ever hearing from each other again and I don't need to smell that scent again. :D How is that not the ending you were hoping for? So listen. I've just gone home with another man: the man who annoyed me the most that evening: My partner. ;)

Ghostrider in the sky
As I got the chance to test this beauty, I was not prepared for what awaited me from first smell!

Immediately I was pulled into a cote and stood in between big and muscular horses. I could feel the pulsating energy of these majestic animals biting each other, trying to figure out who leads the pack.

In addition to this aggressive animalic note there was one primary topic - vintage leather. A very stable and strong performing note (that stays very clean in the dry out!).

I also smelled a lot of smoke/birch tar, that rounds the composition of leather, animals and smoky notes.

The patchouli, amber and rose are side players, that seem to border the more present notes. They guide the strong opener and calm the clean dry out.

The whole composition works perfectly fine, because it tells a story. Its one of the most artistic compositions I know and I can recommend it to everyone, who likes animals, especially horses, leather and smoky perfumes!

You get what the brand advertises: smoky animalic leather with birch. It becomes mellow as it dries with the rose, musk and amber combo but still with the animalic part and the wood becomes more evident with time, making it more sober.
It's very sexy and naughty, but the rose and sharp woods polish it a bit, like a dandy on a Harley.
I must say try this on skin because it smells way more gentle and natural than on the blotter.

Like a cowboy!
Corpus Equus - @naomigoodsir

The smell that the leather saddle of a thoroughbred Arabian horse gives off.

Elegance, power and mystery in the bottle.

Don't wear if you are faint of heart.

Like a Cowboy!

Pure animalistic barnyard stink, sour & pungent. No smoke, no ink, no rose, no incense. I guess this one just isn't compatible with me.

Unapologetic dark leather with animalic and burnt rubber undertones. Wild with a strong personality.

Smooth leather and smoke. It makes me think of fur, velvet and other soft materials. I don't find the animalic side skanky. Good longevity

Horse leather skin or in other words A LOT birch+smoke, funny experiment, good for a small decant, not full bottle worthy.

Corpus Equus is an intensely dark fragrance that nonetheless exudes a wild and joyful luminosity.
