Do you have nightmares? Whether it’s scary creatures lurking under your bed or a ghostly wraith that haunts you, our sleeping minds are known to conjure up stressful scenarios. Are they warnings from the spirit world, archetypes from our collective unconscious or a sign that our qi is not flowing the way it should? We can all agree that these night-time horrors make us terribly anxious and can leave us feeling unsettled for days. As Proust wrote: “The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest.” Help is on the way however, and it comes in the form of Heretic’s latest hero elixir, The Monster Spray.
Created to ward off even the most terrifying of creatures and ensure a blissful night’s sleep, this pillow spray has been carefully concocted from an exquisite selection of bogeyman-busting ingredients. Classic soporific notes of fresh lavender and herbaceous Roman chamomile intermingle beautifully with the citrusy yet floral scent of red mandarin and bergamot, both famous for their anxiety-reducing properties, and rich, mood-enhancing rose. Smoky, woody vetiver and warming, creamy sandalwood add depth and coziness while stress-relieving neroli and spicy yet relaxing frankincense provides an exquisite finishing touch.
Apply The Monster Spray to your pillow as a glamorous last step of your bedtime routine and rest assured that this 100% natural super-blend of essential oils will calm the mind and body, soothing you to sleep and keeping any disruptive and anxiety-inducing thoughts at bay.

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.
