Dirty Coconut Rollerball 10ml

Dirty Coconut was inspired by the sensual Coco de Mer. This rare fruit, native to the Seychelles, was worshipped for centuries as a symbol of fertility due to its shape resembling the female body.

A fruit cloaked in mystery, symbolism and stories, Seychellois people have utlilised every part of the extremely rare Coco de Mer tree for as long as anyone can remember. Malay soldiers believed that the fruit grew on mythical trees at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. Then in the 16th century, it became fashionable for European nobility to buy Coco de Mer seeds for enormous amounts of money and bejewel them as part of their curiosity collections.

The intrigue and seductive history of this fruit overflows into this new scent. A sensual blend of tropical Coconut, sun bathed woods and creamy, warm vanilla together allow blissful summers to last all year long. This is far from your typical beach scent though – Dirty Coconut is a lush, sophisticated and sensual Coconut, utilising an all-natural CO2 extract of coconut to ensure this fragrance does not smell like the “fake stuff”. It also has the aromatherapy benefits of coconut, so we’re talking calming, relaxation and aphrodisiac qualities. Blissing out on the beach never felt so clean and never smelled so naughty!

Douglas Little describes Heretic’s “Dirty” as taking classicly beautiful natural ingredients and putting a new spin on them – letting their hair down, smudging their lipstick and exploring new territory.

The Heretic Parfum rollerball perfume oils are formulated with coconut oil blended with pure parfum oil.

HOW IT WEARS
Dirty Coconut opens with the distinct scent of coconut – it is sweet yet earthy and decadently creamy with an almost nutty tone to it. The notes of crisp cedar and smooth sandalwood in Dirty Coconut balance the gorgeous sweetness of vanilla perfectly, working together to perfectly complement the coconut. As an oil parfum, the Dirty Coconut rollerball has intimate projection and will last on the skin for about 4 hours. The perfect layering tool to use as a base!

LORE LOVES
Dirty Coconut is a true coconut scent. While we find that some coconut scents can smell very much like sunscreen, this smells so natural – perfectly balanced between earthy and sweet. Dirty Coconut takes us to summer days by the water, a fresh coconut cut open to drink. The juice is sweet, the flesh is more earthy and creamy, the outcome satisfyingly quenching, a stunning ode to this magnificent symbol of summer.
