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 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 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.
