Heretic Parfum Blood Berry is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Douglas Little. Blood Berry settles into a heart of Bergamot, Grapefruit, Rose, and Geranium. Heretic Parfum's Blood Berry carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a battleground. Some adore its tart berry and rose blend, others find it too artificial, soapy, and utterly lacking in berry goodness. Don't expect a deep, rich experience - it's debated whether it's even worth the headache.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Its moderate projection and short longevity make it suitable for casual wear where it won't overwhelm. The tart floral-fruity profile isn't typically associated with formal events, and while some find it bright, others describe it as headache-inducing, reducing its office suitability.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Blood Berry opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive burst of citrus from bergamot and grapefruit, quickly mingling with a dominant, photorealistic rose. A tart, juicy blackcurrant and sweet raspberry try to assert themselves against a backdrop of fresh, slightly green geranium, creating a mix that some find bright and others, unfortunately, artificial. The dry down is often minimal, leaving a lingering, slightly sharp floral sweetness.
