Heretic Parfum Blood Orange is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Douglas Little. Blood Orange opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Blood Orange, and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Rose, Champaca, and Pink Lotus, and dries down to a base of Vanilla Absolute, Ambrettolide, and Benzoin. Heretic Parfum's Blood Orange carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Blood Orange Eau de Parfum goes well beyond a simple citrus, wrapping bitter and blood orange in lotus, rose and jasmine over a resinous vanilla base. It is bright, but with depth.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

Blood Orange Eau de Parfum opens with a stack of citrus: bitter orange, blood orange, bergamot, mandarin and lemon, with cedar and ylang-ylang for shape. The heart brings pink lotus, rose, jasmine sambac and champaca, giving the fruit a rich floral body. The base of ambrettolide, benzoin and vanilla absolute is smooth and slightly resinous. It is a unisex scent that starts sharp and ends soft.
