In short
A luminous, dewy peony-rose that turns, without a break, into a dark, animalic, smoky and earthy wood.
Concept
The collection’s flagship. It opens as a fresh floral with a citrus glint — peony, rose, yuzu and petitgrain, a freesia-like airiness — and over the first hour reveals a wolf in the woods: oud, cypriol, castoreum, civet, birch smoke and the Wet Bark accord’s soaked earth. The freshness does not vanish; it becomes the moonlight on the fur.

Accords inside. This formula contains Wet Bark Accord at 80 parts. It is already expanded into the lines above — each material appears once, with the accord's share merged into it — so an accord is never weighed or counted twice.
Composition notes
- Key materials. Hedione HC, Agarwood Oil (Oud), Castoreum Absolute, Peomosa, Exaltolide
- What makes it distinctive. The transition is the composition: the floral is not a top note that burns off but a light that stays on a dark animal wood.
- Character. The house's most complete statement — fresh and feral at once — with strong evening presence.
- Concentration. 18–20% (eau de parfum)
Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 6 of its materials: Exaltolide (Restriction: Cyclopentadecanolide, Amendment 49); Linalool (Specification: Linalool, Amendment 38); Grapefruit Oil (Expressed) (Restriction: Grapefruit oil expressed, Amendment 49); Birch Tar Oil (Rectified) (Birch wood pyrolysate, Amendment 47); Isomuscone (Restriction: Cyclohexadecanone, Amendment 51); Peonile (Restriction: alpha-Cyclohexylidene benzeneacetonitrile, Amendment 51).
- Phototoxicity. Grapefruit Oil (Expressed) is phototoxic; IFRA limits phototoxic materials in products left on skin exposed to sunlight.
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Linalool. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
