In an era where perfumes are often little more than generic, a company has emerged that is shaking up the world of scent: Heretic. With a dedication to quality, uniqueness, and a beautifully macabre aesthetic, Heretic is a brand to know.
Back in January, we shared the news that Heretic had unleashed Nosferatu, a scent mirroring the atmospheric essence of the film. The “Eau de Macabre” opens with top notes of lilac and ambrette seed, leading to a heart of violet, orris root, and petrichor. The base is built around vegan ambergris and oud absolute. The scent is cold and pale, reminiscent of the unsettling chill of encountering an apparition.
Now, a new scent has surfaced, Black Salt. Imagine, if you will, the moonless shallows where shipwrecks weep and sirens hum dirges to the tide, a mermaid emerges—Dripping in ink-black brine, tangled in kelp, her lips salt-bitten. This is Black Salt: a fragrance steeped in sorcery and sea foam, conjured for those lured by the deep’s darker intentions.
Black Salt opens with a brackish snap, like cracked obsidian on a storm-drenched shore. Smoked myrrh and shadowed vetiver slowly coil like sea serpents through a forest of driftwood and drowned incense. A whisper of seaweed and scorched black pepper slithers beneath, with a dry down of black orchid and wet earth.
