Pistil Whip is part of Heretic's Limited Edition Series, which means it is not available on a regular basis and small batches are only produced occasionally when its natural ingredients are available. This special 2024 batch is an explosion of lush flowers combined with green moss and wet stone.
Imagine being mugged by a flower. The scent of gunpowder black tea wafts through the air as torn gardenia and Mexican tuberose collide for an energetic kick, then grounded by vetiver. Opening peppery and fresh, the floral explosion at the heart of the fragrance catches you off guard – a loud and bold floral-spicy scent. Aromatic, spicy and slightly smoky Lapsang Souchong tea and woody, green and earthy vetiver add depth, dimension and a mysterious darkness to this otherwise bright and striking scent. A hypnotic fragrance, unbound by age or gender, it is simply itself and is not afraid to let you see it.

Behind the Fragrance

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 went away, but the experience stuck with me and became the inspiration for this fragrance." – Douglas Little, Founder & Creative Director of Heretic

Heretic Parfum

HER-E-TIC. /'here,ətik/, noun: someone who does not agree with the established ideals or opinions of the masses. Heretic is here to disrupt the status quo and for those looking for something different. Since founding Heretic in L.A. in 2015, Douglas Little has carved out a niche for his modern and exceptional collection of unisex fragrances. The only child of professional photographers, Douglas began developing his olfactory talent in preschool, earning a dollar every time he correctly identified the scent of lavender and other plants. Years later, when Douglas realized there was upheaval happening everywhere - GMOs in food, parabens in creams and aluminum in deodorants were being banned, only the fragrance industry remained hidden - he wanted to create something different: a fragrance company that was authentic, sustainable and radically transparent - who they are, what they make and how they make it. Douglas sees in natural elements and plants a unique beauty that cannot be imitated. While other companies hide toxic or synthetic substances under the words "fragrance" or "perfume," Heretic is more than proud to share their ingredients openly and fully. But it's not just about the "clean"-ness, botanical aspects or fragrance profiles of the perfumes, but also the holistic aspects. Douglas describes nature as wild, provocative, sensual, spiritual, serene and passionate. It has a powerful therapeutic effect, which is expressed in his creations through his combination of conventional perfumery and the Ayurvedic, healing and aromatherapeutic properties of natural extracts. Thus, Heretic creates true, functional fragrances in its own way, because conformity is boring and boring fragrances should never be. Heretic is gender neutral, vegan & cruelty-free.
