Werwulf is the wolf itself in the trio Heretic made with Focus Features for Robert Eggers' medieval film, the house's second film scent after Nosferatu, and the one Douglas Little spent longest on. He began from costus root's wet-dog smell and wanted it cyclical, a beast that wakes with each full moon. Bitter grapefruit and a rose worn as flesh turn through orris and violet leaf to labdanum, vetiver, benzoin and fur. The bottle reads Eau de Macabre.

In Forbes, Celia Shatzman writes that Douglas Little composed Werwulf from the script alone and spent longer on it than on the other two scents of the collection. It started from costus root, a material with a wet-dog smell that the article says can no longer be used in perfumery, and Little wanted it to feel "feral without being unpleasant" and cyclical, a beast that comes forward every 30 days under the full moon.
