Created in partnership with Focus Features for Robert Eggers’ gothic vampire film Nosferatu, this cult-favorite fragrance conjures the cold, damp world of Count Orlok’s castle. Wilting lilacs and ambrette open with an eerie floral softness before petrichor—the scent of rain hitting dry earth—brings the electric atmosphere of an approaching storm. Violet and orris deepen the heart, while velvety vegan ambergris, oud and labdanum leave a dark, resinous trail. Delicate yet haunting, it smells like an encounter with an apparition after lightning fills the night air.
Heretic Parfum is an independent clean fragrance house for those drawn to beauty with a darker, more provocative edge. Founded by perfumer Douglas Little, Heretic transforms naturally derived botanicals into unconventional, genderless scents that feel intimate, sensual and a little dangerous. Crafted with plant-based ingredients, each Heretic fragrance evolves uniquely on the skin—and is meant to be worn instinctively, without rules.
