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.

Scent memory of Santa Cruz mountains

I’ve sampled all 4 of Marlou’s fragrances. Reviews on TikTok really made these sound to be salacious and raunchy but I found them all to be very wearable. This scent in particular gave me that ‘ooh niiiice’ feeling right away, it brought me back to Science Camp at Camp Jones Gulch in the Santa Cruz mountains of Northern California. The combination of spending the days outside in the woods and sending/receiving letters from your high school crush while away at camp. Will you find the courage to kiss a banana slug so you can add your name to the book of those that did it before you? I can’t put my finger on it exactly but they are good memories that I haven’t thought of in a long time. Ordering a full bottle of Corpalium stat. This is a scent I will wear for me. Maybe I’m feeling sentimental and homesick. Or just everyday for whatever reason because it’s just an easy wearable and gorgeous scent
