Rhubarb Thief Discovery Set

Inspired by the fairy tale books of the 19th century, the Rhubarb Thief Discovery Set is presented in a collectible storybook format. Inside are eleven hand–tipped watercolor illustrations by artist Sam Wolf Connelly, telling the story of Monsieur Lapin and his rhubarb alchemy.

A rabbit perfumer of peculiar habits, Monsieur Lapin slips through fences and under moonlit hedges, stealing stalks and gathering leaves and roots. Not for hunger, but for obsession. Back in his burrow, among dusty bottles, glass vials, and curious instruments, he begins his alchemy, coaxing the wild, electric spirit of rhubarb into perfume.

At the back of the book you will find five 2ml fragrances, four new and one of our best-selling layering fragrances:
RHUBARB THIEF: Green, Tart, Dangerous. This fragrance captures the daring spirit of pilfered treasures and fleeting indulgence. Bold notes of rhubarb, grapefruit, and cedarwood create a vibrant blend, layered with a touch of irreverence. 98% natural.
DIRTY HINOKI: Grounding Hinoki wood blends with crushed herbs for an earthy and ethereal plant-based scent that’s a Japanese “forest bath” in a bottle. 97% natural. 
BEEKEEPER: Warm, Smoky, Sweet. Sun-baked wood, a living hum, and the sudden spill of scent. Warm beeswax, buttery and gold, dense with the ghost of a hundred flowers. The bees’ own musk rises, followed by the deep glow of honey, not a simple sweetness but true work of transformation. Soft puffs of smoke curl in, dry and calming, turning the air velvety and strange. One breath, and you are at the hive’s threshold, where smoke, wax, and honey conspire into alchemy. 95% natural. 
FOURTEEN CARROTS: Fresh, Woody, Velvety. Fourteen Carrots begins in the earth, where sweetness grows in darkness. Carrot absolute is the heart of the fragrance, rooty and velvety, quietly sensual, carrying the smell of soil and sun at once. Plum slips in with a ripe, shadowed juiciness that makes the carrot glow. Oud settles underneath like warm resin, steady and grounding, turning the blend into a slow, intimate elixir. This is a perfume of buried gold and quiet revelation. 94% natural. 
JASMINE SMOKE: Lush, Sensual, Smoky. This is not a bright bouquet, but a flower that breathes in the dark, narcotic and creamy, with the faint indolic whisper that makes jasmine feel less like petals and more like skin. Blonde tobacco rises like a slow curl of velvet, carrying a gentle dryness that stains the jasmine with shadow and smoke. As the perfume settles, tonka bean slips in with its drowsy almond sweetness, benzoin spreads a balsamic glow, while labdanum gathers beneath like old amber in a reliquary. Dark, sticky, and quietly devotional. 100% natural. 

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 Parfum is a fragrance house with a mission to show the provocative side of naturals and the dirty side of clean.
Based on the mysterious, sensual and feral aspects of nature, Heretic began with a conscious choice to do things a little differently. The fragrances in the line are all plant based, made up of a blend of essential oils, concretes and absolutes, blended with non-GMO safe synthetics and alcohols to create challenging, unapologetic, visionary scents. 
“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.
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. 
All Heretic Parfum fragrances are cruelty free and vegan, and range from 100% natural to 47% natural.
