Heretic Parfum Dirty Peach is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Douglas Little. Dirty Peach opens with Orange, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Bitter Orange, Jasmine, Violet Leaf, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Heretic Parfum's Dirty Peach carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag: some get a juicy, photorealistic peach, others a catastrophic cat pee horror show. Definitely try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's a summer stunner.

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's suitable for casual daytime wear, especially in summer. While some find it office-appropriate, its divisive nature and unique fruit profile make it less ideal for formal settings.

About

Dirty Peach opens with a vibrant, mouth-puckering burst of orange, grapefruit, and mandarin, quickly leading into the star of the show: a ripe, juicy, and often tart peach. Hints of bitter orange and blackcurrant add an edgy, almost fermented quality, while jasmine and ylang-ylang provide a soft floral touch. The dry down is grounded by vetiver, sometimes emerging as a clean, green counterpoint to the fruity exuberance, though its interaction with other notes is where the real controversy lies.
