FRAGRANCE STORY

What makes our amber dirty?  It's 35 million years old. This unique and limited edition amber fragrance utilizes fossilized Amber Oil that is extracted from 35 million year-old Himalayan fossilized tree resin. Unlike oils from living plants, there is no essential oil that can be directly obtained from the fossilized resin. Instead, the oil comes from a process called “dry distillation” whereby the Amber resin is processed over high heat until an oily substance is obtained. Unlike the synthetic Amber perfumes that are commonly sold, fossilized Amber Oil has a completely different aromatic profile. The extraction process yields a dark, viscous oil with smoky, resinous, leathery, woody-dry notes and hints of Pine and balsamic overtones.    

HOW TO WEAR

Our fragrances are gender-neutral and made for everyone.

APPLICATION: We use plant-based natural ingredients, which means our scents are light and sheer. To increase staying power, you’ll want to apply the fragrance periodically throughout the day.

LAYERING: We also encourage you to layer two to three Heretic fragrances not only to increase the overall intensity but to help you create your next signature scent. Choose heavy and lighter blends to layer together, spraying or dabbing the stronger scent first. View the “Layer With” section above for our perfumer’s recommendations.
