What makes this edition exclusive? According to the brand’s notes, this batch uses a higher concentration of natural castoreum and a rare Bulgarian rose otto that’s been macerated for 18 months. Compared to the standard “Fur Alma,” this version has less synthetic brightness and a much deeper, buttery fur texture. The bottle itself is heavy, frosted glass with a genuine leather collar.

Then comes the "Invisible Seam."

Every button, clasp, and ring on the Fur Alma is forged from recycled aerospace-grade titanium, plated in 18k white gold, and set with conflict-free black diamonds. The hardware is designed to be silent—a specific acoustic requirement Steinberg insists upon, ensuring that the coat makes no jangling noise when worn.
The dry-down is pure comfort for lovers of vintage animalics. Benzoin and vanilla soften the fur accord into something resembling powdered skin and old book leather. Cedar and patchouli add a woody backbone, but the star remains a whisper of civet—very clean by vintage standards, but unmistakably present. It leaves a trail that smells like memory, luxury, and a little bit of danger.
