With October approaching, D.S. & Durga unveils its latest limited-edition studio juice: Well-Dressed Werewolf. Launching October 1, 2025, just in time for Halloween, the fragrance continues the house’s tradition of tongue-in-cheek seasonal creations, following cult favorites like Sexy Viking, which famously sold out in just two hours. Priced at $250, this year’s potion prowls into the night with a balance of elegance and primal edge.

The perfume’s composition evokes the duality of a Roaring ’20s werewolf dressed to perfection. Top notes of Balkan cedar, labdanum, and hay set a smoky, resinous tone, leading into a heart of fur, dandy violet, and jasmine absolute. A base of patchouli and ambergris lingers with opulence, capturing the friction between class and feral instinct. The result is a scent that feels urbane yet dangerous, refined yet animalic.
The imagery is vivid: a hairy-handed gent in a midnight black tuxedo of super 150’s wool, gold and onyx cufflinks gleaming, cocktails in hand before the inevitable full moon. Underneath the polished exterior lies a trace of wildness, a subtle whiff of fur and amber that disrupts the harmony of refinement. “Man, that wolf sure cleans up nice!” as self-taught perfumer David Seth Moltz puts it, encapsulating the brand’s blend of humor and high craft.
Well-Dressed Werewolf demonstrates D.S. & Durga’s ongoing ability to fuse storytelling with technical precision. By weaving myth and glamour into the composition, the fragrance becomes both a collectible object and a statement scent.
Released as part of the brand’s annual Halloween tradition, Well-Dressed Werewolf conjures a world of dark cocktails, moonlit city streets, and the dangerous charm of a creature who knows how to dress the part. For collectors and perfume lovers alike, this limited edition is a chance to wear a story, equal parts sophistication and shadow.
