Douglas Little, founder of Heretic Parfum, and Drew Martin, founder of the eponymous line of botanical pre-rolls, are kindred spirits bonded by a shared belief that plants are magic. The two brands came together to create The Herbalist, a functional fragrance designed to enhance the wearer’s wellbeing. The calming effects of hemp are amplified by the soothing aromatherapy benefits of hinoki wood, vetiver, balsam and geranium in this plant-based perfume blended in hemp seed oil.
“As you immerse yourself in this expertly layered natural scent, our hope is that you experience a profound and intoxicatingly exquisite connection with the ancient practice of harnessing the goodness of plants, which for us is at the heart of everything we do." -DL
This fragrance is also available as a THC-infused perfume only at select boutique dispensaries such as Sweet Flower in Los Angeles. Go to our I Am Heretic blog to listen to our podcast episode and watch our video interview with Drew Martin. This podcast can also be found on Spotify or iTunes.
Our fragrances are gender-neutral and made for everyone.
APPLICATION: We use plant-based natural ingredients, which means our 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.
