Dirty Gardenia is part of our Limited Edition series, meaning it's not available regularly. We make small batches of this fragrance occasionally when its natural ingredients become available, and we're very excited to announce the release of this special 2023 batch - available while supplies last!
Bursting with the vivacious beauty of sensual Colombian gardenias spiked with wet, green notes of vetiver and moss, Dirty Gardenia brings a uniquely modern floral experience with its heady floral atmosphere and green crispness. This bottled bouquet of intoxicating wild gardenias enlivens you with its uplifting intensity. Lush, hypnotic and otherworldly, it's a weapon of mass seduction.
Our fragrances are gender-neutral and made for everyone.
APPLICATION: Our clean scents are light and sheer. To increase staying power, you’ll want to apply the fragrance periodically throughout the day.
LAYERING: We also encourage you to layer two to three Heretic fragrances not only to increase the overall intensity but to help you create your next signature scent. Choose heavy and lighter blends to layer together, spraying or dabbing the stronger scent first. View the “Layer With” section above for our perfumer’s recommendations.
RETURNS: We only accept returns for defective or damaged products. If you’d like to sample the fragrance first, we recommend you start with one of our Discovery Sets or take our Fragrance Finder Quiz for a personally recommended scent.
SHIPPING: At this time, we can only ship within the contiguous United States. If you need to find an international retailer, please email us at concierge@hereticparfum.com.
Free shipping on orders of $125 or more. Otherwise, a $10 flat shipping fee applies.
