Dirty Violet refuses to be defined. It’s a bewitching gender-bending blend that conjures a realm of endless possibility. Think beauty and bondage, sailors and starlets, face powder and flogging, Bettie Page and Betty Grable, John Willie and Jeanette MacDonald. With notes of leather and patchouli counterbalanced with hints of violet leaf, Dirty Violet is a heady and intoxicating scent that smacks of skin, heat, temptation, and sex.
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
Dirty Violet behaves in a really interesting way – opening with the more earthy notes to begin with and getting more floral as it wears on the skin. To begin with you get cedarwood, the bright sharpness of frankincense and the sweet earthiness of patchouli. As Dirty Violet warms on the skin, you pick up the heady jasmine and velvety rose, which lean a little greener when combined with violet leaf and iris. The dry down is all about the resins, with a rich, warm and totally seductive aura. This fragrance will last 4-6 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
For the Dirty Violet fans of yore, we think this release is very similar to the original. The blend of violet with earthy tones makes this a really unique floral fragrance that is velvety and irresistably seductive…exactly how we like it!
