Top: Pink Pepper, BergamotHeart: Tuberose, Tiare, GardeniaBase: Vetiver, Lapsang Souchong Tea FRAGRANCE STORY Pistil Whip is part of our Limited Edition series, meaning it's not available regularly. We make small batches of this fragrance occasionally when its natural ingredients become available, and we're very excited to announce the release of this special 2023 batch - available while supplies last! What would it smell like to be mugged by a flower? "Late one night I was walking from the subway when I lived in NYC and I was mugged at gunpoint. I surrendered my wallet, was pistol-whipped and then left in a heap. After recovering from this traumatizing incident, I experienced something called an 'olfactory hallucination' that lasted for weeks. I would wake up to the smell of tuberose and gardenia, but the flowers were nowhere to be found. After seeing a few doctors I learned that traumatic events can trigger these scent-based hallucinations. It eventually went away, but the experience stuck with me and became the inspiration for this fragrance." - Douglas Little A play on words, Pistil Whip is an explosion of lush florals combined with verdant moss and wet stone. A hypnotic scent not restrained by gender, Pistil Whip was nominated for the coveted Fragrance Foundation Award in 2017. 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.
