Ethereal, joyful and sweet. Like popping champagne, this uplifting scent evokes feelings of joy and celebration.
Blood orange is known for its aromatheraputic ability to lift the spirits and encourage optimism, and champaca in the heart of this scent eases stress and promotes positivity. So, safe to say Blood Orange should put a smile on your dial!

HOW IT WEARS
Beginning with a tantalising blend of zesty, vibrant citrus notes (which remain prominent throughout the wear of this fragrance!) blended with crisp cedar and honeyed ylang ylang, as Blood Orange wears it reveals a hidden floral bouquet. Pink Lotus, Jasmine, Rose and Champaca Flower add sweetness to the composition before it dries down to its soft base notes of musks and vanilla. Blood Orange will give you 4-6 hours of wear on the skin.
LORE LOVES
Blood Orange is a photorealistic olfactory reproduction of Blood Orange. Vibrant, vivid and mouth-puckering, when we smell this scent it actually makes us salivate. It smells like freshly squeezed blood orange juice – tangy, radiant, and even a little balsamic. It has just enough sweetness to ensure it’s not bitter, like a little brown sugar sprinkled on the plump red flesh of the crown jewel of citrus fruits. This fragrance is so uplifting and feels so happy, it’s the ultimate aromatheraputic cure for when you’re feeling a little down in the dumps.
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.
