Werwulf

In partnership with Robert Eggers and Focus Features, Heretic presents Werwulf Eau de Macabre, a limited edition fragrance that explores the seductive nature of transformation and the primal instincts we dare not surrender to. The scent of skin, damp earth, root, resin, and the suggestion of wet fur awakens the beast that lives within us all, animalic, earthen, and unnervingly alive. Bitter pomelo, Turkish rose, and osmanthus open with a cold, bitter brightness, like wormwood rising under a lunar sky. Iris, violet leaf, and vanilla bean bloom at the heart, while cardamom warms the skin like breath in winter and elemi seeps from wounded fir bark, sharp and sacred.

Smoke and leather bloom upon the skin as the human scent begins to change, with castoreum and costus stirring with fur, hide, and heat. Labdanum, vetiver, benzoin, and beast fur settle into the base, joined by patchouli, moss, and damp earth beneath. Soft musks linger like the trace of fur in winter air, a fragrance for the moment when the forest takes the body and the wolf wakes within.
