Corpalium
Corpalium by Marlou is a Aromatic fragrance for Women & Men.
The initial idea for Corpalium was to work around the iris pallida — starting from roots harvested several years ago by Marlou’s own Briac Frocrain, which give off a particularly carnal scent. Frocrain wanted to focus on the iris’ earthy aspect that quickly moves to a leathery animality rather than pushing it toward floral.
First mixes were made with ambrette and fenugreek. Assembling these three very dry elements formed a coherent block that brought the iris toward nuts and hay. Supported by castoreum and carrot seed, Corpalium leans into the equestrian universe with notes of dung and tobacco, fermented materials that bring relief and a certain acidity. Perfumer Stéphanie Bakouche entered the frame bringing something sharper to the roundness of the initial assemblage. Her addition of Texas cedar to the formula brought a certain transparency and complexity to Corpalium’s earthy side while materials like angelica attenuate the composition with a contrapuntal freshness.
