About HERETIC PARFUM

Working with 100% naturally derived ingredients, Heretic creates non-gendered fragrances that are free from synthetics, vegan, and never tested on animals. We’ve surpassed all industry standards of clean by handcrafting our scents with botanical materials such as essential oils, concretes and absolutes. These real botanical materials go far beyond simply non-toxic, bringing the vibrancy and wild beauty of nature to each of our fragrances. We call ourselves Heretics because we’ve chosen to disrupt the status quo and do something different. We’re on a mission to show the sexier side of naturals, the dirty side of clean. We believe that nature is wildly provocative, and working with these authentic ingredients allows us to create complex fragrances that explore the unpolished version of these plants and flowers—from dirt to stem to petals, with all their organic imperfections and earthly beauty intact. We’ve combined conventional perfumery with the therapeutic properties of natural extracts to create truly functional fragrances inspired by ancient traditions. Our fragrances harness the aromatherapy benefits of the powerful plant materials they contain, such as the calming effects of CBD or jasmine or the uplifting properties of citrus oils. What you smell is alive with nature’s power, and when our fragrances combine with your unique personal scent, olfactory magic happens.

Reviews

Community Insights

Reviewers praise the set for its creative natural compositions, standout originality, and versatility for layering. Dirty Peach and Dirty Hinoki are singled out for complexity and lasting power, while softer scents like Dirty Coconut and Scandalwood receive favorable marks for wearability but are noted as less impactful.

Pros

Performance excellence: Dirty Hinoki and Dirty Peach are lauded for strong longevity and memorable sillage, especially compared to typical naturals.

Versatile appeal: The set is celebrated for encouraging layering, making it suitable for both day and night and adaptable to personal preferences.

Quality composition: Natural, vegan, and organic formulation is often highlighted as a marker of premium quality with real aromatherapeutic effects.

Cons

Specific limitation: Scandalwood and Dirty Coconut are considered somewhat underwhelming by users expecting boldness rather than subtle skin scents.

Situational drawback: The sheer, minimalist character means some wearers must reapply to maintain projection throughout the day.
