Naomi Goodsir Corpus Equus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Corpus Equus settles into a heart of Smoke, Birch, Rose, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Naomi Goodsir's Corpus Equus carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. People either adore its raw, untamed allure or absolutely run screaming from its 'gasoline and raw meat' opening. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into an unapologetically bold, smoky leather, this could be your new addiction.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong opening and potent sillage, this fragrance is far too challenging for the office. It hits all the marks for a daring date night or an edgy formal event, though its animalic leanings make it less suited for casual daytime wear or anything physical.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Corpus Equus opens with an aggressive blast of smoky leather, thick and animalic, reminiscent of a well-worn saddle or a mechanic's garage. As it settles, the birch adds a tarry, almost inky depth, while a dry, woody backbone emerges from cedar and patchouli. Unexpectedly, a subtle and refined rose note eventually surfaces, softening the initial ferocity and mingling with amber and musk for a surprisingly elegant, yet still edgy, dry down.
