Dirty Rose EDP 50ml

Not your traditional rose perfume, naturally-derived Dirty Rose shows the naughty side of this classic floral.

Sweat glistens in the candlelight in warm patchouli air, forgotten crystal tumblers, and spirals of smoke. Wisps of clove cigarettes as their quick embers burn in the piths of a wet lemon rind. Black currant buds drop from their stems, as straps of soft leather fall to the floor. The night sky is peppered with bright shots of stars, the city glowing in amber below. With wrists tied to the posts in a bed of crushed roses, a whip, a touch, the prick of a thorn. Pressed into lips that taste of vanilla, the flames start to lick the tall cedar walls. An eruption inevitable, a fire untamed. Fueled by the oils of a Damascena rose, it’s worn only by the reckless and blazing wayward souls.

Part of Heretic’s Dirty collection, where classically beautiful natural ingredients are given a new spin – their hair let down, their lipstick smudged, and new territory explored.

HOW IT WEARS
Opening with bright, bubbly pink pepper, the sweet spice of nutmeg and the smooth sharpness of cedar, it doesn’t take long before Dirty Rose’s heart blooms with rich, velvety Damask rose. This rose is realistic and earthy – not jammy or too sweet. Underpinned by earthy, woody base notes, this is a beautiful interpretation of rose that will last 6-8 hours on the skin.

LORE LOVES
We love this new formulation of Dirty Rose – it’s a little woodier than the last iteration of the same fragrance, and honestly, we think this one is even better. If you’re a rose lover, you’ll fall head over heels for this immediately. It’s like red rose petals scattered on a garden path, leading you all the way into a secret rose garden, full of an array of spectacular blooms that enchant and bewitch with their potent scents. Look, there’s a reason the rose is called “The Queen of Flowers”. Enough said!
