Heretic Parfum Au Naturel: The Good, The Clean, And The Dirty

We invite you to turn to the unedited, raw beauty of the plants and flowers of the covetable Heretic Parfum line of fragrances for a vampish, sensual approach to clean perfumery. Yes, according to Douglas Little, founder, and Heretic par excellence, this is what nature smells like: Unpolished, imperfect, seductive, yet utterly beautiful. 

Using the same clean natural processes that were used by perfumers hundreds of years ago, Heretic Parfum is the original perfume. We can say that this is what perfumes smelled like back then, but that would be a lie. Because Little takes that unrefined scent straight from the Earth, adds a sultry spin, and manages to revive the aromatherapy benefits of nature. 

Through traditional extraction methods, they obtain essential oils, isolates, absolutes, and resins from every part of the ingredient: Every bit, from dirt to stem to flower petals translates perfectly into a glass bottle, and straight onto the skin. 

Free of chemicals and additives that increase the scents’ longevity, Heretic Parfum fragrances are sheer and light on the skin, but in a true heretic fashion, we invite you to layer them, embolden them, and make them truly yours. 

Start with these three dirty renditions of vanilla, coconut, and grass:

Heretic Parfum Dirty Grass

A scent where hemp takes the high ground and lets vetiver shine, lemon injects freshness, and black pepper and coriander add a dash of spice to the mix, elevating the composition.

Heretic Parfum Dirty Vanilla

Inspired by Vanilla Planifolia, a rare orchid flower that opens for only one day a year, vanilla is the main star of the show, made carnal by a fistful of coriander seeds and a drizzle of patchouli. Cedar, sandalwood, amber, and vetiver dial up the sensuality by a few notches resulting in a fragrance that leaves you exhilarated and ruined for all other vanilla scents.

Heretic Parfum Dirty Coconut

Dirty Coconut was inspired by the ultra-rare coco de mer palm tree and the suggestive, voluptuous proportions of its fruit. If this ingenuity and the Google search of the fruit doesn’t do it for you, then the blend of woods, vanilla, and coconut will most certainly will. It will gently stroke your senses and calm your inner tides.

HERETIC PARFUM Dirty Hinoki

The smooth, citrusy, and herbal notes from our sustainably sourced Hinoki wood run through the top, heart, and base of this fragrance, and are accompanied by cozy and reassuring sacred resins and cashmere as well as complex woody notes from cedar, elemi, and balsam. The result is a perfume that exudes enduring strength, eternal elegance, and refined proportions while promoting a sense of safety and protection.

HERETIC PARFUM Bergamusk

A scent of many facets, as delicate as it is animalistic, as curious as it is classic. Bergamusk pairs two power scents—uplifting Bergamot, picked fresh from the gardens of Calabria, and the alluring White Musk of the aphrodisiac Ambrettolide. Heart chords of Jasmine and Cedar pique the curiosity while calming Sandalwood grounds it with a touch of bohemian intrigue. It’s like a lethal flirt and a casual heartbreaker. Soft, sweet, layered with complexities. A fragrance of true modern romance.

HERETIC PARFUM Florgasm

Exactly what you’d imagine if a flower came to orgasm. 100% natural Florgasm starts with a spark of pleasure: A tingling sensation of Pink Pepper and Bergamot with a burst of Orange Blossom and sweet Coriander. Its heart chord is an aphrodisiac blend of lush Jasmine, Tuberose Milk, and sensual Ylang-Ylang, all bathed in the warm afterglow of Ambrette Seed, an animalistic Musk that lingers on the skin with rich, leathery undertones. Like a sunny afternoon romp that leaves you feeling freshly flush and perfectly primal, Florgasm is an enticing scent to enthrall the senses.

HERETIC PARFUM Scandalwood

Scandalwood is a mesmerizing blend of creamy Sandalwood, exotic Coriander, and voluptuous Bulgarian Rose that falls into the mysterious aspects of Labdanum and White Musk. A creative collaboration between Dita Von Teese and Heretic Parfum, it’s a scent fit for a sex siren, created with the eye of a visionary. A soft, red-lipped whisper with an all-consuming allure.

HERETIC PARFUM Pistil Whip

What would it smell like to be mugged by a flower? “Late one night I was walking from the subway when I lived in NYC and I was mugged at gunpoint. I surrendered my wallet, was pistol-whipped and then left in a heap. After recovering from this traumatizing incident, I experienced something called an ‘olfactory hallucination’ that lasted for weeks. I would wake up to the smell of tuberose and gardenia, but the flowers were nowhere to be found. After seeing a few doctors I learned that traumatic events can trigger these scent-based hallucinations. It eventually went away, but the experience stuck with me and became the inspiration for this fragrance.” – Douglas Little. A play on words, Pistil Whip is an explosion of lush florals combined with verdant moss and wet stone. A hypnotic scent not restrained by gender, Pistil Whip was nominated for the coveted Fragrance Foundation Award in 2017.

HERETIC PARFUM Dirty Peach

Delicious, narcotic, and ethereal- Dirty Peach captures the first days of Summer with a scent that exudes sun-warmed peach skin and the sensual, soft- curves of creamy white jasmine. The fragrance opens with bright and effervescent citrus notes that quickly open to juicy, ripe, peach flesh. A delicate balance of sweet, tart and hints of cashmere woods that make this frargance addicting and unforgettable.
