A monstrous gourmand! Loaded with top-shelf botanical extracts, Corpse Reviver is rich and boozy with whiskey, chocolate, Italian Amaro liqueur, cooling rosemary and cypress, and some wild animalics. This is cutting-edge mixology, a cocktail of dissonant but surprisingly harmonious notes. It’s definitely “not for everyone,” but the folks who love it really love it.
Corpse Reviver is named for a hangover remedy (aka morning cocktail) from the 1920s. The fragrance is based on Cadavre Equis, a limited-edition experimental collaboration I created with the great Italian perfumer, Antonio Gardoni. For that, we decided to push the limits of the gourmand. Gourmand refers to “edible” notes, not just desserts, so while there’s plenty of chocolate, there’s also rosemary and Italian bitters.
My personal version dials back the animalics and includes a whiskey accord built on an extraordinary French oakwood absolute. This fabulously sticky, dense material is extracted from French oak and smells like bourbon and caramel.
Corpse Reviver is still pretty crazy and doesn’t smell like anything else out there—but it’s absolutely wearable and comforting in its own way.” -Bruno Fazzolari
