Ghosts: A Spectral Discovery Set

A set of five spectral scents, each one a different apparition. Together they form a mythology, not of brightness and excess, but of long shadows, warm skin, and beauty that refuses to stay fully alive. Supernatural musks, sheer woods, ghosted florals, and animalic whispers,each presented in a 2ml format, designed to be worn, layered, and lived with across the season.

Heretic’s Ghosts Collection is a celebration of the lingering traces, the fragments from the past that haunt us into the future.⁠ The Ghosts collection explores what it feels like to encounter the unseen. A change in the air, a cooling along the skin. The quiet sense that something has shifted. ⁠

In collaboration with Chelsea Wolfe, an unmistakable voice, at once ethereal and devastating, tender and feral. Chelsea Wolfe’s work transforms longing, darkness, and beauty into something tangible, much like perfume transforms the invisible into something we can feel. 

In this Discovery Set you will find five 2ml fragrances, including:
EKTOPLASMA: A spectral residue suspended between worlds, Ektoplasma is cold vapor that melts into lactonic florals and translucent sandalwood. Ambergris drifts through like dust illuminated in moonlight.
⁠THE VEIL: A threshold between worlds, The Veil is the scent of light filtering through sheer fabric. A constellation of musks echo the intimacy of skin, while orris butter introduces a powdery stillness and patchouli provides depth.
⁠DOPPELGÄNGER: Skin-like and elusive. Doppelgänger is an olfactory replication of the self, created with sheer woods and supernatural musks designed to echo human warmth. 
SPECTRAL GRACE: Ethereal and haunting. Spectral Grace is the atmosphere of an abandoned Hollywood soundstage, with ivory air and Lily of the Valley elegance. It’s pale, precise, and quietly luminous.
⁠SHADOW PEOPLE: Dust notes evoke neglect and accumulation, with petrichor introducing a cold mineral dampness that feels like static electricity. Shadow People lingers as a medium for exploring the unresolved.

LORE LOVES:
It’s probably pretty obvious based on our social media posts about this collection, but we are super obsessed with it – it exemplifies everything we love about the brand. Douglas (Heretic founder and perfumer) has such an intentional, moving approach to perfumery, and we think that really comes across in the Ghosts collection. After all, perfumery, as an art form, is like a ghost, invisible. These fragrances are so abstruse, obscure and elusive that you almost have to close your eyes to properly experience them, even though they have no visual element. They’re fleeting, like the glimpse of an apparition out of the corner of your eye, but also pop up again when you least expect it. No two of them are the same, and yet they layer beautifully together. For people that want to smell spooky, otherworldly, and immortal.
