What would it smell like to be mugged by a flower?

“Late one night I was walking from the subway when I lived in NYC and I was mugged at gunpoint. I surrendered my wallet, was pistol-whipped and then left in a heap. After recovering from this traumatizing incident, I experienced something called an ‘olfactory hallucination’ that lasted for weeks. I would wake up to the smell of tuberose and gardenia, but the flowers were nowhere to be found. After seeing a few doctors I learned that traumatic events can trigger these scent-based hallucinations. It eventually went away, but the experience stuck with me and became the inspiration for this fragrance.” – Heretic Founder, Douglas Little

A play on words, Pistil Whip is an explosion of lush florals after a thunderstorm. As the lush petals of this perfume begin to open, mineralic notes of wet stone and rain add depth and dimension to this hypnotic masterpiece. Pistil Whip was nominated for the coveted Fragrance Foundation Award in 2017.

HOW IT WEARS
Cheerful and bright pink pepper brightened by bergamot begin the wear of Pistil Whip, before it develops to reveal its sensual white floral heart. The lush, heady tuberose, tiare and gardenia in this scent are incredibly realistic, and create an intoxicating and alluring throw. Balanced perfectly by a base of subtly smoky lapsang souchong and the earthy spice of vetiver, Pistil Whip lasts on the skin for a good 6-8 hours!

LORE LOVES
Pistil Whip definitely has one of the more unique backstories we’ve seen for a fragrance, but hey, that’s kind of Heretic’s whole thing! The more mystical among us might think that hallucinating the scent of white florals after trauma could indicate the presence of some sort of guardian angel – and therefore wearing this scent may provide or welcome some kind of holy protection. Whether you’re that way inclined or not, this scent really heroes the purity of the white florals and lets them speak for themselves, backing them up with the subtle yet detectable presence of earthier notes which add to the overall realism of the scent.

Heretic Parfum

Heretic: one who does not conform to the ideals or opinions of the masses; one who follows their own path. This rebel spirit is imbued in every one of founder and perfumer Douglas Little’s creations, earning Heretic Parfum cult status in the world of niche perfume.

As Australia’s first and leading stockist of Heretic Parfum, we’re proud to partner with a brand that so closely reflects our passions, ethics, and values. Heretic has been our top‑selling brand for years, consistently pushing the boundaries of perfumery and delivering fragrances that beguile, bewitch, and bewilder.

Founded in 2016, Heretic was born out of Douglas Little’s mission to do things a little differently; to create perfumes that were less about adornment and more about alchemy. Through Heretic, Douglas invites others to experience scent as something intimate and transformative.

Naturally therefore, Heretic’s approach to the creation of their fragrances is intentional and holistic – each of their plant-based, cruelty-free fragrances is produced ethically and sustainably, their formulation informed by age-old perfumery traditions as well as homeopathy, ayerveda, and herbology. Conceptually, Douglas draws inspiration from art, film, mythology, religion, and spirituality, as well as his own scent memories. All of these elements combined result in fragrances that feel expressive, complex and alive.

That feeling is precisely why we love Heretic so much at Lore. It’s impossible not to be drawn to the sensuality of Scandalwood, to feel unnerved by Nosferatu, to be calmed by Dirty Hinoki. With each spritz of a Heretic fragrance, a ritual is undertaken, a bridge built between the seen and unseen, and you find yourself transformed.
