Sept Neuf 七寸九 Yà Yǔ 猰貐 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Marion Costero. Yà Yǔ 猰貐 opens with Pepper and Licorice, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Hay, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oud, and Oakmoss. Sept Neuf 七寸九's Yà Yǔ 猰貐 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't for the faint of heart. A bold, divisive earthy-woody beast that demands attention - you'll either love its raw, untamed nature or recoil from its unapologetic wildness. Not a crowd-pleaser, but a statement.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on earthy, woody and fresh spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date

Its potent earthy-woody accords make it far too strong for office wear and too assertive for casual settings. However, its unique and bold character could make an intriguing statement on a date or a distinctive choice for a formal event if applied sparingly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Yà Yǔ 猰貐 opens with a surprising solar note, quickly giving way to the bite of pepper and the intriguing twist of licorice. This unconventional start leads into a deep, earthy heart of patchouli and the dry, golden aroma of hay. The real gravitas emerges in the base, with rugged vetiver, the complex depth of oud, and the damp, mossy embrace of oakmoss, creating a primal, forest-floor impression. It's an olfactory journey through shadowed woods and sun-drenched clearings, full of contrasts.
