FRAGRANCE STORY

Botanical • Celestial • Slightly Suspicious.

One moment, peace. The next—beam of light, scent of ozone, and something vaguely succulent. Cactus Abduction is what happens when the desert stares back. A candle laced with prickly green mischief, solar flares, and the faint, unshakable sense that you're being watched… by something with excellent taste.

Curious succulent stems and scaly branches reach to the sun God, basking in the scorching heat. We've drawn inspiration from the mysterious night-blooming Cereus, a bizarre cactus flower pollinated by bats that exudes a spicy, green and addicting aroma into the inky midnight sky.

Scorched minerals mingle with alien musk and something unidentifiable, but polite, hovering just beyond olfactory comprehension. It smells like sunbaked stone, plant-based paranoia, and a very stylish exit from Earth. Bright citrus notes are paired with the crisp green snap of carrot seed, cedar and galbanum. A verdant heart chord of geranium absolute, spicy green pepper and juicy prickly pear dries into the verdant and mineralic notes of aloewood, vetiver, hints of patchouli and elegant Siam benzoin.

Ideal for lighting when you wish to be alone, studied, or gently removed from this dimension. Burn responsibly. They’re listening.

HOW TO USE

EDP: 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. 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. 

CANDLE: 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.
