SOPPING THURSDAY ROOM SPRAY

In collaboration with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust, this home fragrance is an indulgence for the tastefully unhinged. Sopping Thursday captures the scent of a storm that has grown bored with the outdoors and has begun to wander inside. Wet rocks and muddied pathways mingle with the faintly suspicious greenness of fresh garden clippings, bringing a little cultivated gloom to any room in need of a well-timed deluge.

SCENT NOTES: Petrichor, Musk, Moss

SMELLS LIKE: Rain, wet rocks, and water-logged greens.

FRAGRANCE STORY A Most Inconvenient Downpour. It was, as usual, raining far more than necessary. Sopping Thursday captures the definitive scent of a storm that has grown bored with the outdoors and has begun to wander inside. Wet rocks, muddied pathways, and rain-slicked windows mingle with the faintly suspicious greenness of freshly shorn garden clippings, though no one recalls who clipped them, or why. A hush of thunder trembles at the edges, accompanied by that unmistakable petrichor that appears whenever the sky has misplaced its temper. The effect is one of dignified dampness, ideal for those who prefer their weather inclement, atmospheric, and entirely under their own roof.

Bring a little cultivated gloom to any room in need of a well-timed deluge. HERETIC X GOREY In 2025, Heretic inaugurated a new and slightly ill-advised tradition by translating the peculiar genius of Edward Gorey into scent. Gorey's world, exquisitely drawn, wryly sinister, and curiously elegant, is an enchanting realm of mischief and magic. A series of room sprays appeared quietly without fanfare, evoking abandoned corridors, ill mannered weather, questionable refreshments and social occasions best remembered imprecisely. These fragrances were not designed to brighten a room. They were meant to occupy it. To linger. To suggest that something had occurred though no one seemed inclined to discuss it. 

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 and organic sugarcane alcohol, each fragrance evolves uniquely on the skin—and is meant to be worn instinctively, without rules.
