Poltergeist 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. This special release will be available only while supplies last!
Take a late-night motorcycle ride through a lush, dense pine forest with Poltergeist — a fragrance inspired by the physical energy of spirits themselves.
A limited re-release of one of Douglas Little's first original creations, Poltergeist is back for Fall but only in very limited quantities! This perfume is part smoke, part green, and all wild magic. A blend of intensely sexy galbanum, rock rose and patchouli paired with scorched birch tar and the mysterious herb known as wormwood, or Artemisia Absinthium, which is the key ingredient in the nefarious drink absinthe.
Listen to Heretic Founder/Perfumer Douglas Little tell the story behind Poltergeist: 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.
