In the moonless shallows where shipwrecks weep and sirens hum dirges to the tide, she emerges—Dripping in ink-black brine, tangled in kelp, her lips salt-bitten and secrets bitter. 

Our master perfumer has long sought to distill the essence of the beach at night in a ravishing summer fragrance. The result is Black Salt: A moody and mineralic scent steeped in sorcery and sea foam, more hypnotic than a mermaid. This fragrance is conjured for those lured by the deep’s darker intentions.

It opens with a sharp flicker of lime, bright as lightning over a storm-tossed sea. A brackish snap of eucalyptus laced with a cold metallic shimmer, like cracked obsidian on a storm-drenched shore—as if Neptune himself had wept into a vial. At its heart: spellbinding black water lily, blooming somewhere deep and lightless, untouched by sun or sentiment.

As the scent settles, smoked myrrh and shadowed vetiver coil like sea serpents through a forest of driftwood and drowned incense. Seaweed drapes the base like mourning lace: briny, green, and gently unsettling, and scorched black pepper slithers beneath, embalming the wearer in a resinous, elemental melancholy. The dry down is neither kind nor forgiving: a graveyard bloom of black orchid and wet earth, like a bouquet left on a lover’s grave, long after the tide has pulled her name from the sand.

It’s a fragrance for those who prefer their coastlines windswept and slightly haunted. Mysterious. Malevolent. Mesmerizing. Black Salt is not worn. It claims you.

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.
