FRAGRANCE STORY

In partnership with Focus Features, Heretic is proud to collaborate on a fragrance inspired by the iconic vampire for Nosferatu, a film from the visionary mind of Robert Eggers. But what does the world of the vampire smell like? As the film’s official perfumer, Heretic X Nosferatu present a scent that is also an apparition: otherworldly, straddling a line between this world and the next.

To capture the olfactory universe of Nosferatu into one glass bottle is no mean feat. We wanted to move beyond tropes like blood, roses, smoke or candle wax and explore a very different idea of this creature of the night. Cold, pale and pellucid, this fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition. It opens with a clap of thunder and downpour of rain outside Count Orlok's castle. Strikes of lightning fill the air with petrichor and electricity. The damp earth releases a fresh, clean, but ever so musty scent of plant oils and geosmin released from the Carpathian Mountains.

Tangled in the stones of the dark, wet heart chord you will find lilac in a vivid bouquet of cadaverous hues punctuated by inky violet absolute. We are immediately reminded of Nosferatu's heroine Ellen Hutter. This floral accord of ether conjures memories of forgotten innocence and love everlasting, but in a flash and to our horror the purple beauty vanishes, only to appear once more as if back from the dead. The ionine, also known as "the disappearing molecule", from her delicate leaves and stems is elusive and will be revived again and again in fleeting moments. Just then, another complex character drifts onto the scene in the form of vegan ambergris. A paradox to our senses, it reminds us of the salty oceans we long for, where a ship is waiting to take us home. Soft and velvety, the ambergris dances on the skin in a nostalgic waltz that is both delicate and hedonistic. 

Making us contemplate the primal instincts that are within us all and the twilight zone between man and beast inhabited by the vampire - It's a fragrance that will haunt you, but in the best possible way. 

Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is only in theaters this Christmas. 

HOW TO WEAR

Our fragrances are gender-neutral and made for everyone.

APPLICATION: We use plant-based natural ingredients, which means our scents are light and sheer. To increase staying power, you’ll want to apply the fragrance periodically throughout the day.

LAYERING: We also encourage you to layer two to three Heretic fragrances not only to increase the overall intensity but to help you create your next signature scent. Choose heavy and lighter blends to layer together, spraying or dabbing the stronger scent first. View the “Layer With” section above for our perfumer’s recommendations.

Love it!! Which is strange because I normally don't like floral, fresh scents. But this is not a very strong floral. It smells like fresh rain with a hint of jasmine. Love it!
** But the bottle is small for the price**
