Slut for October

This perfume oil grew from Heretic’s collaboration with artist Bill Crisafi and his childhood memories of autumn in Massachusetts. Its setting brings together burning leaf piles, sun-dried grass and the bruised sweetness of apples left on an orchard floor. Arkansas Black Apple meets labdanum, myrrh, cedarwood and oakmoss, with juniper smoke and sun-scorched hay adding drier textures. The composition approaches autumn through ripe fruit, resins and woodland decay, giving the season a darker, mischievous character rather than a conventional pumpkin-spice treatment.
