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!

Cowboy in a bottle

I've never ridden a horse, so I'm perhaps missing that context for this fragrance that everyone else seems to be catching.

However this is the smell of a personality, and an experience.

You're getting into this older model pickup, and the driver has just reached over to pull up the door lock to let you in. You hear "seven year ache" by Rosanne Cash on the radio, as you slide onto the leather bench seat you notice the driver is wearing a plaid shirt with a new light tan lined leather vest, his jeans held up with a brand new, large-buckled leather belt and are tucked into his new leather boots because he's been stamping around doing work in the animal pen, which you also smell from the blanket tucked into the seat behind you. You can also tell from the smell of his clothes that the driver smokes cigarettes, but not in the truck. You next see a can of wintergreen dip on seat between you both, and you can smell that the driver already has a pinch between his lip and jaw.

A Car Crash

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.

One of the most realistic leather fragrances in the market - but neither versatile nor wearable

Corpus Equus in Latin means the body of a horse. This perfume is exactly that, but a horse that is laden with a lot of leather accessories like bridle, saddle etc. Corpus Equus contains rose, amber, birch, cedar, incense, leather, musk, patchouli and smoked wood according to their website. “A black composition with animalistic notes, Corpus Equus pays homage to the noble and wild nature of an Arabian stallion, with his fiery temperament”, says their website. It is without question a smoky, animalic leather fragrance. This review is based on a sample from Naomi Goodsir.

Therein lies the problem. Though this fragrance is academically very interesting, I am not interested in smelling like a horse wearing all leather gear. I am sure many enthusiasts will complain about Corpus Equus, using adjectives like fecal, barnyard and skanky. I agree with them, but it is still a very good work of perfumery. Not for me, but for someone else.

I am going through the Naomi Goodsir discovery set one by one. After initial test on paper, this brand feels too extreme for me. Very fascinating, but these may not be wearable for me.

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!
