Heretic has relaunched their (extremely popular) Blood Series of 100% natural fragrances, this time with a new, exciting addition – Blood Berry!
THE BLOOD SERIES
In each drop of fragrance, there is a pulse, a lifeblood that connects us to the earth, to ancient rituals, and to the essence of what it means to be alive. Heretic Parfums’ Blood Series explores this deep, primal connection through the power of scent, where blood and essential oils converge in an alchemical dance. Like blood, these fragrances carry the essence of life’s most elemental forces: the richness of earth, the fire of passion, and the chill of the unknown.
The new and updated limited-edition Blood Box is here, with the addition of the brand new Blood Series fragrance, Blood Berry. With 4 x 2ml samples, the Blood Box is perfect for gifting or as a way to test out these limited edition scents before purchasing a full size 50ml bottle.
This is the perfect set for someone who tends to like their fragrances a little earthier, dirtier, and primal, someone who likes to make a statement with their scent!

NEW: BLOOD BERRY
Rivina Humilis, also known as blood berry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Petiveriaceae. Known for its brilliant, blood-colored berries that sparkle like garnets against its emerald foliage, it’s no wonder this plant has captured the attention of humans and pollinators alike – but be careful not to eat them – they’re poisonous to animal and human alike.
As a fragrance, Blood Berry is not for the faint-hearted. It’s the kind of scent that lures you in with the promise of sweetness, only to reveal its darker, more thrilling secrets. A decadent blend of ripe, blood-red berries entwined with a whisper of crushed petals, Blood Berry delivers a scent that’s both sweet and perilous, like a forbidden kiss beneath the moonlight.
NOTES + HOW IT SMELLS
Top: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Geranium
Middle: Damask Rose, Black Currant Buds
Base: Raspberry
Opening juicy and tart, you get the geranium, rose and blackcurrant buds before Blood Berry quickly descends into the sweet raspberry dry down. Lip-puckering, mouthwatering, like raspberries dusted with brown sugar. Delicious!
BLOOD ORANGE
Ethereal, joyful and sweet, the limited edition Blood Orange is the olfactory equivalent of popping champagne with its uplifting scent that evokes feelings of joy and celebration.
Blood Orange is known for its aromatheraputic ability to lift the spirits and encourage optimism, and champaca in the heart of this scent eases stress and promotes positivity. So, safe to say Blood Orange should put a smile on your dial!
NOTES
Top: Italian Blood Orange, Bergamot, Red Mandarin, Bitter Orange, Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Cedar
Middle: Champaca Flower, Pink Lotus, Apothecary Rose, Jasmine Sambac

BLOOD CEDAR
Wild, woody, and lushly green, Blood Cedar is densely packed with woody notes, resulting in the experience of walking through a dense thick of cedar branches — your skin stained with pitch, resin, and traces of wild moss. It’s tenacious and almost otherworldly while fully evoking the feral, more spiritual aspects of the forest.
NOTES
Top: Frankincense, Spruce
Middle: Blood Cedar, Siberian Fir Absolute
Base: Cypress, Pine, Wormwood
DRAGON’S BLOOD
Dracaena Cinnabari, also known as Dragon’s Blood, is a bizarre tree native to Socotra archipelago, located in the Arabian Sea. Its nefarious name came about due to the blood-red sap the tree exudes. The sap is prized for its aromatic smoke that is reminiscent of amber, hickory and vanilla pods. This fragrance is intense, and exhibits notes of tanned leather, boiled rose petals, saffron, and hints of the animalic.
NOTES
Top: Cedar, Frankincense, Bois de Rose, Coriander
Middle: Rose de Mai, Dragon’s Blood
Base: Oud, Agarwood, Patchouli, Benzoin
