Heretic Parfum Dirty Grass is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Douglas Little. Dirty Grass opens with Lemon Zest and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Coriander, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Heretic Parfum's Dirty Grass carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one is divisive, for sure. You'll either get photorealistic cut grass and earthy goodness, or a petrol-laced coriander bomb. Not a safe blind buy, and expect the CBD claim to do precisely nothing.

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

Dirty Grass opens with a bright, zesty lemon and a touch of piquant pink pepper, quickly ushering in a distinctly green heart. Violet leaf and galbanum create an intensely verdant, almost sappy, cut-stem aroma, while coriander adds an earthy, slightly spicy depth. The dry down settles into a dominant, woody vetiver, grounded and natural, evoking the smell of damp soil and dried grass.
