HERETIC X EDWARD GOREY
ROOM SPRAYS
Presenting a collection of home fragrances in collaboration with the Edward Gorey Charitable Trust. Create an atmosphere of polite unease with these scents that capture sunlit events with unfortunate undertones, domestic spaces behaving suspiciously, and environments that feel faintly over-prepared for disaster.
SOPPING THURSDAY
The scent of a storm that has grown bored with the outdoors and has begun to wander inside. Wet rocks and muddied pathways mingle with the faintly suspicious greenness of fresh garden clippings, bringing a little cultivated gloom to any room in need of a well-timed deluge.
SUMPTUOUS AFTERNOON
Victorian lemonade steeped with black tea, freshly clipped hedges, and a cheerfully fatal mist. Sumptuous Afternoon captures the unsettling brightness of a garden party that has gone on far too long.
THE WEST WING
The atmosphere of elegant ruin. The West Wing evokes the scent of abandoned corridors, dust-softened wood, pale light filtering through shuttered windows, and the residue of flowers left too long in their vase.
THE HAUNTED TEA-COSY
A sinister little spritz that smells like a warm cup of over-steeped bergamot tea, brewed in purgatory and infused with flowers, citrus, and scandal.
THE EVIL GARDEN
Night-blooming flowers, crushed green stems, and damp moss give this scent the unmistakable air of a garden that’s been quietly plotting. Excellent for greenhouses, or anywhere you suspect the vines have formed opinions.
ROOM SPRAY BUNDLE
SAVE 20% with this bundle that includes three new 200ML home fragrances, for those who prefer their spaces expressive, their seasons peculiar, and their pleasures tinged with uncertainty.
A VERY GOREY HOLIDAY
A CAST OF MODERN DAY HERETICS
In 2025 Heretic inaugurated a new and slightly ill advised tradition by translating the peculiar genius of Edward Gorey into scent. Our Very Gorey Holiday campaign featured a curious cavalcade of characters: influencers, musicians, actors, artists, and fragrant familiars, conjured to assist in surviving the season's greetings.
ABOUT EDWARD GOREY
The Master of Beautiful Unease. To collaborate with the Edward Gorey Trust was less like a professional venture and more like a long-awaited séance with a beloved muse. Gorey's world, exquisitely drawn, wryly sinister, and curiously elegant, is an enchanting realm of mischief and magic.
