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.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Tuberose is one of the most dramatic and powerful floral notes in perfume, along with jasmine, gardenia, freesia, and iris. Tuberose exudes a liqueur-like, velvety, dark, and powdery-sweet aroma, and a classic floral perfume note., It can come off as “too grandma” for some - but a very seductive and potent aphrodisiac for others. If you enjoy stronger styles of perfume, and feel best when your scents make an intense and sensual statement on the skin, tuberose is a must-try. It’s best when paired with other, heavy floral notes such as jasmine, gardenia, and freesia, and contrasts wonderfully with pungent spices like black pepper, frangipani, licorice, and anise, as well as ripe, sweet fruit like raspberry, blackberry, and cherry.

    Subtle
    Subtle sweet floral scent. I could see myself wearing this as a daily scent, but it doesn’t last longer than two hours, which is disappointing
