Heretic Parfum - Pistil Whip

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.

Gardenia, like jasmine, tuberose, and freesia, is the Queen of the White Florals in perfume. It’s heady, full, vanilla-and-smoke aroma is one of the most classic notes in all of fragrance, and those that love it can’t do without it. Gardenia is best in big white florals, where it’s natural power can fully bloom. It’s grandeur and feminine sensuality are ideal for hotter weather, and summer is where it truly soars.
