After unveiling scents inspired by Nosferatu and The Bride, along with other enchanting fragrances inspired by witches and ghosts, Heretic Parfum returns with a new collection inspired by Robert Egger’s upcoming film, Werwulf. Its newest release draws on Robert Egger’s highly anticipated film, Werwulf. A captivating new trilogy of fragrances captures a man’s dark transformation into a beast under the full moon.
Scent of Lycanthropy
The inaugural scent, The Forest, immerses the wearer in a vast, unforgiving, ancient forest. Initial notes open with sharp juniper berry mixed with cold smoke and ash. Spicy pepper and carrot seed cut through rich resins to evoke frozen roots. Finally, deep notes of damp moss and cold bark settle on the skin, recreating the feral woods.
The second fragrance, The Transformation, explores the unnerving moment when civility yields to something far older and more primal. Warm skin, wet fur, and grounded earth merge to signal the beast rising within. In the opening moments, animalic undertones create an intimate yet deeply unsettling atmosphere. Later, notes of tree resin and deep roots weave through the fragrance’s heart. Ultimately, this bodily composition treats lycanthropy not as a curse, but as an awakening of inner wildness.
The final fragrance, The Memory, captures the lingering sensory memories left behind after a violent nocturnal transformation. Bitter wormwood crushes beneath unseen steps to create a sharp, dramatic opening note. Soon after, sweet resin bleeds from wounded tree bark, revealing hidden layers of raw musk. Eventually, the scent dries down to reveal notes of wet leather, wilted botanicals, and metallic flesh. As a result, the persistent fragrance serves as a haunting reminder that the forest always remembers what happened.
