Cactus Abduction Candle 283g

Botanical, celestial, slightly suspicious. Cactus Abduction is what happens when the desert stares back. A candle of crisp citrus and sun-baked stone, laced with juicy and mischievous prickly pear, scorched minerals, and bright cactus flower that will hypnotise you with its succulent scent.

Cactus Abduction is a clean, non-toxic scented candle blended in a pure soy wax base with a lead-free, unbleached 100% cotton wick and made with Heretic’s proprietary blend of safe synthetics and naturally-derived ingredients. Hand-poured in the USA.

CACTUS ABDUCTION
One moment, peace. The next – beam of light, scent of ozone, and something vaguely succulent. Cactus Abduction is what happens when the desert stares back. A candle laced with prickly green mischief, solar flares, and the faint, unshakable sense that you’re being watched… by something with excellent taste.
Curious succulent stems and scaly branches reach to the Sun God, basking in the scorching heat. Heretic has drawn inspiration from the mysterious night-blooming Cereus, a bizarre cactus flower pollinated by bats that exudes a spicy, green and addicting aroma into the inky midnight sky.
Scorched minerals mingle with alien musk and something unidentifiable, but polite, hovering just beyond olfactory comprehension. It smells like sunbaked stone, plant-based paranoia, and a very stylish exit from Earth. Bright citrus notes are paired with the crisp green snap of carrot seed, cedar and galbanum. A verdant heart chord of geranium absolute, spicy green pepper and juicy prickly pear dries into the verdant and mineralic notes of aloewood, vetiver, hints of patchouli and elegant Siam benzoin.
Ideal for lighting when you wish to be alone, studied, or gently removed from this dimension. Burn responsibly. They’re listening.

ABOUT THE BRAND
Heretic – one who does not conform to the ideals or opinions of the masses; one who follows their own path.
Created in 2016 in New York by Douglas Little, Heretic Parfum is a fragrance house with a mission to show the provocative side of naturals and the dirty side of clean.
Based on the mysterious, sensual and feral aspects of nature, Heretic began with a conscious choice to do things a little differently. The fragrances in the line are all plant based, made up of a blend of essential oils, concretes and absolutes, blended with non-GMO safe synthetics and alcohols to create challenging, unapologetic, visionary scents.
“Natural fragrances are much like wine in that you can detect nuances of the plant, the soil, and its surroundings. They have characters that cannot be achieved with synthetic copies. These fragrances are alive, they create an olfactory fingerprint” – Douglas Little.
As Heretic boldly disrupts the status quo of the fragrance industry with their radical transparency, their fragrances delve into the esoteric world and the realms of homeopathy, ayerveda, and herbology.
All Heretic Parfum fragrances are cruelty free and vegan, and range from 100% natural to 47% natural.
