This scent blends the rich earthiness of aged wild patchouli leaves from Vietnam with vanilla absolute and caramelized benzoin for a scent that is smooth yet complex, warm and sensual.

HOW TO WEAR

Our fragrances are gender-neutral and made for everyone.

APPLICATION: We use plant-based natural ingredients, which means our scents are light and sheer. To increase staying power, you’ll want to apply the fragrance periodically throughout the day.

LAYERING: We also encourage you to layer two to three Heretic fragrances not only to increase the overall intensity but to help you create your next signature scent. Choose heavy and lighter blends to layer together, spraying or dabbing the stronger scent first. View the “Layer With” section above for our perfumer’s recommendations.

Benjamin X. ★★★★★

Patchouli can go so wrong in the wrong hands, but this one is beautifully rounded by the vanilla and benzoin—the dry-down is warm, almost caramel-like. The mandarin in the top notes gives it a bright hit that keeps the earthiness from feeling heavy.

Matthew ★★★★★

I was nervous about the "dirty" label, but the vanilla absolute and caramelized benzoin smooth it out into something warm and almost cozy. The patchouli CO2 adds that deep, earthy complexity without being overwhelming. It lasts for hours on my skin and I keep catching whiffs of it throughout the day

Adam T. ★★★★★

The patchouli here isn't sharp or dirty the way I expected—the caramelized benzoin and vanilla absolute round it out into something almost cozy. I've been wearing it on a scarf for two days and the labdanum keeps it warm and complex without going flat. Definitely grabbing a sample of this one again.
