PRODUCT DETAILS

Set includes body wash anx 10ML oil-based perfume rollerball.  

BODY WASH: This luxurious plant-based, sulfate-free emulsion gently cleanses while adding moisture to the skin and lacing it with our best selling Nosferatu Eau de Macabre fragrance.

THE FRAGRANCE: In partnership with Focus Features, Heretic is proud to collaborate on this fragrance inspired by the iconic vampire for Nosferatu, a film from the visionary mind of Robert Eggers. What does the world of the vampire smell like? It’s a scent that is also an apparition: otherworldly, straddling a line between this world and the next. 

Cold, pale and pellucid, this fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition. It opens with a clap of thunder and downpour of rain outside Count Orlok’s castle. Strikes of lightning fill the air with petrichor and electricity. The damp earth releases a fresh, clean, but ever so musty scent of plant oils and geosmin released from the Carpathian Mountains.

Tangled in the stones of the dark, wet heart chord you will find lilac in a vivid bouquet of cadaverous hues punctuated by inky violet absolute. We are immediately reminded of Nosferatu’s heroine Ellen Hutter. This floral accord of ether conjures memories of forgotten innocence and love everlasting, but in a flash and to our horror the purple beauty vanishes, only to appear once more as if back from the dead. The ionine, also known as “the disappearing molecule”, from her delicate leaves and stems is elusive and will be revived again and again in fleeting moments. Just then, another complex character drifts onto the scene in the form of vegan ambergris. A paradox to our senses, it reminds us of the salty oceans we long for, where a ship is waiting to take us home. Soft and velvety, the ambergris dances on the skin in a nostalgic waltz that is both delicate and hedonistic. 

Making us contemplate the primal instincts that are within us all and the twilight zone between man and beast inhabited by the vampire – It’s a fragrance that will haunt you, but in the best possible way. 

HOW TO USE

BODY WASH: Apply to wet skin, lather and rinse. Avoid contact with eyes. 
After bathing, layer with  Nosferatu perfume oil.

PERFUME: 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 encourage you to layer body wash and Eau de parfum to increase the intensity and staying power of your favorite Heretic scent. You can also layer several fragrances to create your own signature scent.
