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, Musk, Leather, and Amber. Naomi Goodsir's Corpus Equus carries an Acquired verdict, a smoky-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.

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.

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.
