Corpalium is the chilled earthen blooms of a sunless, subterranean iris, wrapped in a velvety feathered cloak of woodsy musk and honeyed, balsamic smoke. It’s a dark bird of myth, a single ebony plume plucked from flame, an unblinking amethyst eye, crystalline and plum dark under the cobweb veil of the pale winter sun’s sweetness. This is heart-stoppingly stunning, and I don’t think I have anything in my fragrance wardrobe quite like it
Opens aromatic, medicinal, sharp, slightly bitter. Spicy but cool.
Evolves into soapy florals, but traditionally “masculine” leaning - likely the iris.
No hints of animalic notes on my skin.
Ends as a pleasant barbershop-y woody scent with still hints of iris. Nice although definitely not for me (from the brand I lean towards Poudrexstase, Ambilux, and Heliodose) but surely good to smell on someone else.
I went on and on all day smelling my arm until I remembered the perfume it vaguely reminded me of in some aspects: Iris Nazarena from Aedes de Venustas, which I still don’t wear but prefer it to Corpalium in the drydown.
