Douglas Little, founder of Heretic Parfum, has always been obsessed with the ephemeral beauty of night-blooming flowers. Thriving in the moonlight, these blooms seduce all who encounter them with their pale, luminous petals and hypnotic fragrances. Their blossoming cycles have mystified scientists and mystics alike for centuries, inspiring many a myth, legend and folklore tale.
So… it only makes sense then that Heretic has created a capsule collection of fragrances inspired by the most captivating of the night-blooming flowers in their new Nocturnal range. Each fragrance is available in a 15ml size, but if you can’t choose they have also created a gorgeous discovery set to allow you to try all three!
“The Nocturnal range captures each flower in such a photorealistic way, while still providing an earthy, gothic edge. Each scent has this sense of magic and mysticism infused in it, which seems to be a Heretic trademark at this point!”
Nocturnal Tuberose
Revered for its association with forbidden pleasures and the exploration of the subconscious mind, Nocturnal Tuberose’s intoxicating fragrance is said to promote heightened intuition and usher in profound emotional connection and eroticism.
HOW IT SMELLS: A creamy, musky, heady and indolic white floral that captures the flower long associated with love and seduction.
Queen of the Night
A flower of rare beauty and romanticism, the Queen of the Night blooms just once a year for a single moonlit night in the deserts and rainforests of Central and South America. Its luminous petals and sweet, hypnotic fragrance have inspired myths and legends, symbolising nature’s abundance and deep mystery.
HOW IT SMELLS: A bright, citrusy white floral that settles to reveal a honeyed, creamy white floral bouquet as magical as the flower itself.
Angel’s Trumpet
Known for its dramatic, trumpet-shaped blooms and intoxicating fragrance, the very poisonous Angel’s Trumpet flower was revered by Aztec Shamans who used it in rituals to bridge the realms of the living and the dead.
HOW IT SMELLS: A green, spicy white floral with an almost fruity edge that beckons you in with its intoxicating odor. Think hot and deadly.
Nocturnal Discovery Set
Try all of the fragrances in the new Nocturnal range with this gorgeous discovery set, containing a 2ml vial of each scent.
“Not only are each of these scents really true to each flower, they take you to a still, moonlit garden that feels lush and overgrown, where you can hear the insects and smell the soil. They feel so teeming with life and really sing on the skin” – Felicity
