Naomi Goodsir Corpus Equus EDP

Description

Corpus Equus is a deep black leather, a tribute to a fiery, restless horse. Released in 2021 and composed by Bertrand Duchaufour, it was inspired by the “Outrenoir” paintings of Pierre Soulages, canvases built almost entirely from black. Leather, birch tar and smoke set the tone, evoking a saddle and a stable, while incense and musk add warmth. Rose and cedar lend a touch of polish, and amber and patchouli linger at the end. Naomi Goodsir, the Australian-born milliner based in Paris, began making fragrances in 2012 with the same approach she brings to her hats: texture first, and a refined surface with something rebellious underneath. It is animalic and assertive, made for people who love real leather fragrances.
