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.

- BWBRITTANY W.Reviews 4Products received 39GorgeousWanted to try this because I love tuberose. I’m so glad that I did! The first time I wore it, my husband came into the room sniffing like a hound dog on the hunt! Needless to say, he approves!!My ratingsFloralFlirtyEverydaySpringFreshEasy-going21
- SSSARAH S.Reviews 56Products received 380Bought the bottle!This is currently one of my favorite fragrances! I wasn’t sure how I felt about it upon first spray, but I tried spraying it both on paper and on myself before realizing that it seems to go really well with my body chemistry. Apparently, Heretic first made this limited edition fragrance in 2017 and recently brought it back for a limited run (slightly different due to changes in ingredient availability). Bought a bottle while I still can! :)My ratingsFloralFlirtyEverydaySummerPowderyIntense20
- SDShannon D.Reviews 97Products received 137very floral, nicely sweetsmells like an office job (think young teacher or admin office area) met with a beautiful early summer day in grandmas garden. very soft and floral forward, goes quite sweet in a flower not gourmond way after settling. Partner (33m from texas) mentioned it smelling like a "Southern Mom" perfume but in a good way (thanks gardenias lol) has potential to feel "old lady".My ratingsFloralClassicEverydaySummerSweetEasy-going20
- SMSara M.Reviews 3Products received 18Favorite So FarThis scent is soooo deliciously clean and crisp. It’s extremely floral almost like gardenia. But even though it packs a huge floral punch, it’s still extremely light and feminine. I tend to lean towards more androgynous scents. But this one just blew me way and I plan to purchase the bottle! One thing I will say is I which it lasted a little longer on the body. You can still catch a sneaky whiff of it here and there after a few hours, but it cuts the strength of the scent in half by then. Either way I was so happy I picked this one.My ratingsFloralCleanEverydaySpringFreshRefined20
