Edward Gorey's world, exquisitely drawn, wryly sinister, and curiously elegant, is an enchanting realm of mischief and magic. In 2025, Heretic inaugurated a new and slightly ill advised tradition by translating the peculiar genius of Edward Gorey into scent. A series of four room sprays appeared, designed to occupy a room, not brighten it. The holiday atmospheres of O Tannenbaum and Fruitcake have now taken their customary leave. Both will return for Holiday 2026. In April 2026 the collection will continue with new Gorey-inspired room sprays, extending the atmospheric narrative into additional seasons and scenarios that further refine the collection's preoccupation with polite unease, sunlit events with unfortunate undertones, and domestic spaces behaving suspiciously.
A MISFIT'S MANUAL
A CAST OF MODERN-DAY HERETICS
We've assembled a curious cavalcade of characters: a spectral society of influencers, musicians, actors, artists, and fragrant familiars conjured to assist in surviving the season's greetings.
THE ARTIST
Starring Bill Crisafi. A haunted visionary with ink-stained hands and a wicked grin, blending beauty, humor, and ghostly perfection.
