What does Corpalium smell like?

Iris sets a powdery, floral base, while cedar and gaiac wood add a dry, woody depth. Fenugreek brings a spicy edge, ambrette softens it, and castoreum gives an animal, leathery warmth. A green, synthetic side stays in the background.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night-out wear lead. More voters read it as masculine, though many find it feminine. Leather Iris and Peruvian Ambrette have a close profile.
