Take a late-night motorcycle ride through a lush, dense pine forest with Poltergeist — a fragrance inspired by the physical energy of spirits themselves. Part smoke, part green, and all wild magic, this scent is a blend of intensely sexy galbanum, rock rose and patchouli paired with scorched birch tar and Artemisia Absinthium (also known as wormwood, a key ingredient in absinthe). Don’t worry if you start chasing the green fairy, it’s a known side effect of this intoxicating mix. 

Listen to Heretic Founder/Perfumer Douglas Little tell the story behind Poltergeist: Spotify or iTunes.

INSTRUCTIONS: Heretic candles are hand poured with soy wax and unleaded wicks. To prevent damage, make sure to trim the wick to ⅛ of an inch every time the candle is lit. Do not let it burn for more than 4 hours at a time and please place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. For the best candle performance, allow the wax pool to completely liquify, extinguish, and let cool.

PRECAUTIONS: Never leave a burning candle unattended or burning for more than 4 hours. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and all flammable materials.
