This fragrance is infused with a concentrated amount of 100% natural blood cedar essence, derived from the deep, rich wood in the heart of the cedar tree. This material is hard to come by, which is why we can only produce very small batches on rare occasions.
Wild, woody, and lushly green, Blood Cedar is a 100% natural fragrance densely packed with woody notes, resulting in the experience of walking through a dense thick of cedar branches — your skin stained with pitch, resin, and traces of wild moss. It’s tenacious and almost otherworldly while fully evoking the feral, more spiritual aspects of the forest.

HOW IT WEARS
Blood Cedar begins with bright, balsamic frankincense and evergreen spruce, before quickly descending into its woody heart notes. Crisp yet creamy cedarwood and fir intertwine, complemented by fresh cypress and pine, before drying down on a bed of resinous wormwood. This fragrance will give you 6-8 hours of invigorating yet comforting wear on the skin.
LORE LOVES
For those familiar with the last batch of Blood Cedar, this one is a little different. It’s not as sharp – a little creamier and more dense. It smells exactly like a freshly hewn cedar chip, there’s no better way to describe it really!
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.
