Heretic Parfum Häxan is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Häxan opens with Osmanthus, settles into a heart of Oakmoss and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Heretic Parfum's Häxan carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Häxan is a divisive beast: some find it an intoxicating, spellbinding journey into an antique, witchy realm, while others are swiftly repulsed by its heavy, almost soapy amber-rose. Not for the faint-hearted, this one demands a try before you buy.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a distinctive, almost jammy osmanthus that hints at dried apricot, Häxan quickly unfurls into a complex heart. Here, the verdant, earthy depth of oakmoss grounds a rich, perhaps even soapy, rose. The base settles into a smooth, resinous amber and a pronounced, subtly spiced musk, creating an almost leathery, antique shop aroma that lingers mysteriously.
