Pistil Whip is part of the Limited Edition series by Heretic. It is not regularly available, but is only occasionally produced in small batches when the natural ingredients are available. This special batch of 2024 is an explosion of lush flowers, combined with green moss and wet stone.
Imagine a flower stealing you away. The scent of black gunpowder tea wafts through the air, while torn gardenia and Mexican tuberose provide an energetic kick that is then grounded by vetiver. After a peppery-fresh opening, the floral explosion surprises in the heart of the fragrance - a loud and bold floral-spicy scent. Aromatic-spicy, slightly smoky Lapsang Souchong tea and woody-green, earthy vetiver give depth, dimension, and a mysterious darkness to the otherwise bright and distinctive fragrance. A hypnotic scent that is not bound by age or gender, but simply is itself and does not shy away from showing it.


Top notes: Pink Pepper, Bergamot Heart notes: Tuberose, Tiare, Gardenia Base notes: Vetiver, Lapsang Souchong Tea

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. It eventually 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 conform to the established ideals or opinions of the masses. Heretic is here to disrupt the status quo and for all those who seek something different. Since the founding of Heretic in 2015 in L.A., Douglas Little has carved out a niche for his modern and extraordinary collection of unisex fragrances. As the only child of professional photographers, Douglas began developing his sense of smell at preschool age and earned a dollar every time he correctly identified the scent of lavender and other plants. Years later, when Douglas realized that a transformation was taking place everywhere - GMOs in food, parabens in creams, and aluminum in deodorants being banned, while the fragrance industry remains hidden - he wanted to create something different: a perfume company that is authentic, sustainable, and radically transparent - who they are, what they make, and how they make it. Douglas sees a unique beauty in natural elements and plants that cannot be replicated. While other companies hide toxic or synthetic substances under the words 'fragrance' or 'perfume', Heretic is more than proud to openly and fully disclose their ingredients. But it’s not just about the 'clean' aspect, the botanical elements, or the scent profiles of the perfumes, but also about the holistic aspects. Douglas describes nature as wild, provocative, sensual, spiritual, cheerful, and passionate. It has a strong therapeutic effect, expressed through its combination of conventional perfumery and the Ayurvedic, healing, and aromatherapeutic properties of natural extracts in its creations. Thus, Heretic creates real, functional fragrances in their own way, because conformity is boring and fragrances should never be boring. Heretic is gender-neutral, vegan & cruelty-free.
