Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With moderate longevity and sillage, Corpalium is best suited for intimate settings like dates or casual evenings. Its unique, often animalic and smoky character might be too distracting for a formal office environment, but it adds an intriguing depth to a night out.

About

Corpalium opens with a mysterious blend of herbal and woody notes, quickly introducing the distinctive, almost sweet-spicy character of fenugreek. An earthy iris root weaves through, giving way to a heart of rich, dry tobacco and the deep, leathery warmth of castoreum. As it settles, cedar and guaiac wood provide a grounding, smoky base, softened by the subtle, skin-like embrace of ambrette.
