Heretic Parfum Black Salt is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Douglas Little. Black Salt opens with Lime, Pepper, Eucalyptus, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Salt, Water Lily, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Seaweed, and Petrichor. Heretic Parfum's Black Salt carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's proper divisive - a love-it-or-hate-it punch of briny, wild sea that challenges most aquatics. Some will get photorealistic oceanic bliss, others a nauseating shipwreck. Definitely not for the fainthearted.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its potent marine and salty character, with strong longevity and moderate sillage, makes it too assertive for office or formal settings. However, it's perfect for casual wear, dates outdoors, or even sport due to its refreshing yet deep aquatic profile, as many reviews highlight its suitability for summer and beach activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf/Twig Oil from Eucalyptus

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Black Salt opens with a zesty, almost fizzy hit of lime and tangerine, quickly sharpened by black pepper and an aromatic eucalyptus breeze. The heart plunges into a deeply marine territory, where raw sea salt mingles with delicate florals like rose and jasmine, conjuring images of ocean spray on rocky coasts. The base grounds it all with earthy petrichor, dark seaweed, and a hint of warm, resinous labdanum, creating a mysterious, almost untamed coastal atmosphere.
