Heretic Parfum Scarlet Moon is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025, created by Douglas Little. Scarlet Moon opens with Blood Orange, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Elemi, and Canadian Fir Balsam, and dries down to a base of Cedar Leaf, Cedar, and Hinoki Wood. Heretic Parfum's Scarlet Moon carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, love it or hate it. Some find Scarlet Moon a delicious, sophisticated woody-citrus dream, while others are stuck with an artificial, bitter orange-peel soap. Try it on your skin before you commit.

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.

Its clean, fresh character and often fleeting longevity make it an excellent choice for casual wear and the office. It's less suited for formal events where a more robust or traditional fragrance might be expected. The overall profile also lends itself well to active, summery outings.

About

Scarlet Moon opens with a bright, juicy splash of blood orange and mandarin, undercut by the green, slightly bitter edge of petitgrain. The heart introduces a unique woody-aromatic blend, with violet leaf and resinous fir giving way to a distinctive hinoki wood base. It's clean, fresh, and surprisingly complex for a natural composition.
