A long awaited re-release of Dirty Violet has arrived! Dirty Violet is part of Heretic’s Limited Edition series, meaning it’s not available regularly. They make small batches of this fragrance occasionally when its natural ingredients become available.
Originally a collaboration between Heretic Parfum and drag queen Violet Chachki, Dirty Violet glides effortlessly between the spheres of feminine and masculine.
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.
NOTES
Top: Jasmine Sambac, Cedarwood, Frankincense

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 patchouli. As Dirty Violet warms on the skin, 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!
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 is a natural, artisan, small batch fragrance collection. Based on the mysterious, sensual and feral aspects of nature, Heretic began with a conscious choice to do things a little differently. Provocative, challenging, unapologetic, visionary and beautiful – Douglas Little has created a rare, unusual and comprehensive collection. 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.
Douglas made the choice to work with entirely natural materials – essential oils, concretes and absolutes (blended in non GMO, organic grape and sugarcane alcohol) using traditional perfumery techniques. Believing that nature gives us sexy and erotic scents, the Heretic perfume collection creates unique depth and complexity.
“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.
