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!

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.

Like a cowboy!

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!

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.

It's on fire!
With a resounding kick, this scent starts and screams smoke. Burning wood. Burning straw. Dripping sweat of anxiety and fear.
And I'm already sure this is going to be a different experience than the brand's other scents.

Sure, the adjectives for this scent are 'animalic', 'wild', and 'dark', and the brand already has a deep, smoky scent in its portfolio with Bois d'Ascèse. But the smokiness that occurs here is a whole other level.
It's bitingly smoky, burningly harsh, dust-dry, and yet somehow oily. One thing for sure: not ordinary.

But unlike the other smoky representative of the brand, the strength of the burning material decreases with time. Then cedar, amber and rose emerge. In particular, I was worried about the rose, but it does not appear floral and sweet, but in its sharp form, which delicately emphasizes the animalic character, yet at a distance seems soapy.

Smoke remains dominant. Only join the rest of the players and he becomes quieter. The fragrance itself, however, never. The remains loud. Wild just. And dirty he is.

Four to five hours in the spectacle, the fire is then extinguished. Also no more glow is there. Instead, cedar and the aforementioned pungent rose.
Fades Corpus Equus then after about seven hours with even for me pleasant rose and a creamy wood-hay mixture. Delicious.

Durability and intensity as always terrific. But definitely far from the elegance of his fellow fragrances, a completely different caliber of everything actually. An absolute statement fragrance, without a doubt. Also again a work of art, as usual from the others, only this time a very bold, daring work of art, which - I would argue - will not have as many lovers:inside, as the other five.

Smoky and slightly salty leather with an accord reminiscent of red wine underneath. Elegant, but not enough projection to give me enjoyment.

Pure animalistic barnyard stink, sour & pungent. No smoke, no ink, no rose, no incense. I guess this one just isn't compatible with me.

Unapologetic dark leather with animalic and burnt rubber undertones. Wild with a strong personality.

Horse tack. Equestrian rider with a rose lapel. Stylish and on point. Smoky but appropriate — only lets you think it's tame.

Floral, fresh leather that in my opinion is less smoky and more raw, musky-murky but also clean and dewy, a little green at times. Lovely.

Smooth leather and smoke. It makes me think of fur, velvet and other soft materials. I don't find the animalic side skanky. Good longevity

Horse leather skin or in other words A LOT birch+smoke, funny experiment, good for a small decant, not full bottle worthy.
