Dirty Ginger

Name: Dirty Ginger Eau de Parfum
Brand: Heretic Parfum

Heretic Parfum Dirty Ginger is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Douglas Little. Dirty Ginger opens with Lime, Pepper, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Shiso, Ginger, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Palo Santo. Heretic Parfum's Dirty Ginger carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Dirty Ginger is a spicy, earthy unisex scent that mixes lime, pepper and cumin with ginger, tea and vetiver. It has a rough, skin-like edge that some will love and others will find odd. Distinctive, and not for the timid.

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.

Casual

Its moderate sillage and 'dirty' cumin note make it a challenging fit for the office, where some find it too polarising. However, its unique character and sensuality lend itself well to date nights, and it's robust enough for a casual evening out. The herbal and spicy notes don't align with formal events or active sport.

About

Dirty Ginger opens sharp and spicy with lime, pepper and cumin. The heart is led by ginger, with shiso and tea giving it a green, herbal twist. The base is dry and earthy, made of vetiver and palo santo. The mix of cumin and ginger gives the scent a warm, slightly raw feel, while the tea and woods keep it grounded. It is an unusual, spicy-woody unisex fragrance that suits people who want something different.
