FRAGRANCES INCLUDED

Meant to layer. A whisper of The Veil first, followed by Spectral Grace at the pulse points. Finish with a faint trace of Shadow People. 

This layering moves from luminosity to ambiguity, elegance fading slowly into atmosphere. 

SPECTRAL GRACE: Ethereal and haunting. Spectral Grace is the atmosphere of an abandoned Hollywood soundstage, with ivory air and Lily of the Valley elegance. It’s pale, precise, and quietly luminous.

SHADOW PEOPLE: Dust notes evoke neglect and accumulation, with petrichor introducing a cold mineral dampness that feels like static electricity. Shadow People lingers as a medium for exploring the unresolved.

THE VEIL: A threshold between worlds, The Veil is the scent of light filtering through sheer fabric. A constellation of musks echo the intimacy of skin, while orris butter introduces a powdery stillness and patchouli provides depth. *NEW FORMULA

ABOUT THE GHOSTS COLLECTION

SPECTRAL
/ˈspektrəl/
Spectral generally refers to something that is ghostly, phantom-like, or related to a spectrum.

GHOSTS is a spectral summer collection of phantom perfumes for those who haunt summer rather than consume it. This summer mythology is not one of brightness and excess, but of long shadows, warm skin, and beauty that refuses to stay fully alive. SHOP THE FULL COLLECTION

A change in the air. A cooling along the skin. The quiet sense that something has shifted. The faint unease that arises when the body registers presence before the mind can explain it. Scent occupies this territory naturally. It is invisible and unbounded, capable of appearing without warning and disappearing just as quietly. A perfume once worn by someone you loved can reappear years later in an unexpected place. The smell of a room can change suddenly, without any visible cause. Scent, like ghostliness, can be an unresolved intimacy between memory, place, and the senses.

Each fragrance in the Ghost series is composed with this in mind. Materials are chosen for their ability to linger and return: resins that unfold slowly, roots and musks that warm on the skin and then recede, leaving behind a trace rather than a declaration. These fragrances exist as veils; translucent, skin-close, and quietly alive. They shift in heat, bloom in warm air, and fade like breath on glass. Spectral musks, sheer woods, ghosted florals, and animalic whispers appear and disappear as the day unfolds.

These are not scents meant to perform. They are meant to remain.
They are not worn over the body. They exist with it, like a presence.

At times, it may feel less like something applied than something encountered. Like a phantom perfume, familiar but difficult to place.
Others may notice it only when they come near.
You may catch it again when you thought it was gone.
You may feel it more than you smell it.
No belief is required.
Only an openness to the idea that some sensations arrive without explanation—and linger, even after their source has disappeared.

INGREDIENTS

No phthalates • No parabens • No synthetic dyes • No formaldehyde • Cruelty-free

At Heretic, we prefer the real thing over synthetics whenever possible. Our handcrafted fragrances are blended in organic sugarcane alcohol, with real botanical extracts that harness the wild beauty and functional benefits of nature. These plant-based ingredients possess the therapeutic powers of the extracts they contain, like the calming effects of jasmine or the uplifting properties of citrus oils.

HOW TO WEAR A GHOST

“When creating this collection I wondered: Could I distill the scent of the unseen? The moment when the air grows dense, when breath stills and you feel the tremble of a presence? This is not a perfume in the traditional sense. It is a doorway. I invite you to inhale slowly, eyes half-closed, and let your body become the vessel. Who knows what, or who, might answer back?” -DL

1. BEGIN IN STILLNESS:
Ghosts don’t respond to command. They arrive when the body is quiet and the breath is deep.

2. CHOOSE WITH INSTINCT:
Each perfume is a presence. Some gentle, some strange, some bold. Let the one that calls to you reveal itself.

3. APPLY TO THE PLACES WHERE YOU FEEL MOST HUMAN:
Pulse points. Throat. Chest. Fabric worn close.

4. THESE ARE LIVING MATERIALS; THEY WILL WARM, BREATHE, AND CHANGE:
Let it evolve. Natural essences bloom differently than synthetics. They open slowly, move unpredictably, and fade like a memory: beautifully and with mystery.

5. EXPECT PRESENCE, NOT PERMANENCE:
These scents are apparitions. They do not cling, they haunt. You may forget they’re there until a breeze stirs something.
