Dracaena Cinnabari, also known as Dragon’s Blood, is a bizarre tree native to Socotra archipelago, located in the Arabian Sea. This exotic extract got its nefarious name from the blood-red sap that the tree exudes. The sap is prized for its aromatic smoke that is reminiscent of amber, hickory and vanilla pods. The resin has been used for centuries to heal wounds, strengthen the immune system, dispel negative energy and strengthen magical work.
Dragon’s Blood is for lovers of intense, dark, and unusual scents. For lovers of oud and those that not afraid of the dark. This fragrance is intense, and exhibits notes of tanned leather, boiled rose petals, saffron, and hints of the animalic.
Dragon’s Blood 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. This special release will be available only while supplies last! *Please Note: color of fragrance may vary slightly.

HOW IT WEARS
Beginning with crisp Lebanese cedar, astringent, warm Omani frankincense, and the bright spice of coriander, as it wears, the hypnotic heart notes of Dragon’s Blood appear. Velvety Rose de Mai, leathery osmanthus and pure dragon’s blood resin create an intoxicatingly warm, gooey feel. As the fragrance continues to dry down, the bolder, unapologetic base notes appear – animalic Persian oud and agarwood, creamy Mysore sandalwood and cozy benzoin resin. Dragon’s Blood will last 6-8 hours on the skin, leaving an irresistible scent trail behind you wherever you go.
LORE LOVES
If you love Smudge or Poltergeist by Heretic, but don’t always want the level of intense smokiness that those two provide, we think you’ll love Dragon’s Blood. Resinous and dark without being overpowering, Dragon’s Blood provides just a waft of smoke nestled in amongst enveloping resins and woods. We find that the incense and oud are the most prominent notes in this scent but are balanced so perfectly that we think this is a very wearable every day fragrance.
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.
