Heretic Parfum Florgasm is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Douglas Little. Florgasm opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Bitter Orange, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Linden Tree, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Ambrette. Heretic Parfum's Florgasm carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive and notoriously fleeting, Florgasm is a creamy, fresh floral that delivers an intimate, gentle whisper rather than the explosive climax its name suggests. Lovers embrace its delicate nature; critics decry its non-existent staying power.

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.

Date Sport

Its intimate sillage and very weak longevity make it perfect for close-quarters like the office or casual settings where a subtle scent is preferred. The fresh, gentle floral notes are too delicate for formal events and might disappear entirely during active sports.

About

Florgasm opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and bitter orange, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. This vibrant citrus quickly softens into a rich bouquet of linden, jasmine, and creamy tuberose, rounded out by the sweet, banana-like nuances of ylang-ylang. The delicate floral heart settles onto a soft, skin-like ambrette base, creating a tender, slightly milky dry-down.
