The bear prowls amongst resinous pine and fir foraging as he goes, his rich damp fur steams against his body heat. Iris and labdanum conjure a free and floral nature whilst fragrant cinnamon and ginger embody the dominating and ruthless presence. Edible honey and sweet vanilla add richness to this oriental, spicy and woody fragrance.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Bear suits a slow evening after coming in from the cold, when a heavy wool coat still carries the air outside. Resinous woods maintain that forest association, while honey and warming spice bring the mood indoors: substantial, tactile and quietly imposing.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin in cool autumn or winter weather. The honeyed sweetness and resinous woods favour restrained application, especially indoors; let the fragrance settle before adding more. A light application beneath clothing keeps its spicy warmth closer to the body.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to forest resins, textured woods and honeyed spice rather than bright freshness. Bear will appeal to wearers who enjoy sweetness framed by darker, earthier materials, with propolis and labdanum giving the composition a less polished woodland character.
Release year
2020 (or 2021)
The nose
Laure Santantoni created Bear as an olfactory portrait of an animal and its habitat. Her composition contrasts forest-like pine and fir with dark labdanum, forceful spices and the softer sweetness of honey and vanilla.
Wolf Brothers’s story
Wolf Brothers builds fragrances around animal personalities, Slavic storytelling and the Polish wilderness. Its creative identity draws on the Bieszczady Mountains, brotherhood and primal instincts, treating scent as a character with a story rather than simply a collection of notes.
Bear’s concept
Bear began as a scented candle, introduced alongside Wolf and Wisent in 2019, before the trio became wearable perfumes. Its concept follows a bear through resinous woodland: conifers establish the habitat, cistus and labdanum suggest dark fur, and ginger and cinnamon convey strength, tempered by honey and vanilla.
Extra info
Bear’s original packaging used dark, heavy rectangular glass, a wood-textured stopper and Gothic-style lettering, distinguished by a caramel-coloured stroke. The house’s name also has a family connection: co-founder Wiktor’s surname, Wilk, means “wolf” in Polish.
