Heretic Parfum Thornapple

you're walking through an orchard, the moon high overhead. its autumn, and the apples are ripening. somewhere, someone is burning incense, and you follow that scent, curious. Slipping deeper into the orchard, then into the wild of the forest, you find a wise woman's hut. she welcomes you in and offers you a cup of what you hope is just black tea...

make some noise for the bottle!! i purchased the 5ml, not ready to commit to the full size, and even though i (maybe?) don’t love this scent as much as nosferatu, i still am gonna splurge for that spiky cap.

it also doesn’t help my wallet that ‘Thornapple’ is the name of my WIP’s main character!

for my personal tastes, i wish this scent leaned greener and maybe sharper? i wanted the apple, green leaves, black tea, and vetiver…but the other notes must start to win out by the end, because to my inexperienced nose it sorta ends up smelling kind of like baking spices. idk, it's growing on me.

the notes (pulled from the heretic website):

TOP (The Temptation): Apple Accord, Green Leaves, Cardamom, Saffron

HEART (The Delirium): Black Tea, Dark Plum, Labdanum, Frankincense

BASE (The Spell): Oakmoss, Vetiver, Ambered Woods, Skin Musk
