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.

- AWAshley W.Reviews 13Products received 20Very dependent on the personThis scent is very dependent on who or what you spray it on. On a sample paper it shows the pink peppercorn and bergamot, but on myself it's very sweet Tuberose and Gardenia. On my wife there's the tuberose going to almost a tulip scent, with green undertones that are not quite vetiver. Unfortunately doesn't last very long, so you'll need to reapply if you want all day scent.My ratingsFloralFlirtyDate NightSpringSweetIntense20
- CHCJ H.Reviews 6Products received 27It's About What You LikeI dont understand the reviews along the lines of 'old lady smell' and 'not for men'. This is a wonderful scent for anyone. It has heavy floral notes, so it's definitely for particular individuals, but to write it off is just unfair. I got this alongside Brioni, which is another Pink Peppercorn based scent, and this is definitely the more vibrant of the two. The pepper scent is more up-front with Pistil Whip, keeping it true to its name. Overall, I really enjoyed this scent and frankly overused it a bit this month. Will definitely be looking to make a repeat purchase here.My ratingsFloralSexyEverydaySpringFreshRefined50
