A fragrance steeped in sorcery and sea foam, Black Salt opens with a flicker of lime, bright as lightening over a storm-tossed sea. Spellbinding black water lily meets wet lava rock, eucalyptus, and briny seaweed in this mysterious and mesmerizing distillation of the beach at night. With top notes of black pepper, lime, tangerine and eucalyptus; middle notes of jasmine sambac, water lily, Turkish rose and smoked sea salt; and base notes of seaweed, labdanum and petrichor. Black Salt is an eau de parfum, edp.
HERETIC PARFUM BLACK SALT REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "For me at least this one really comes to life on your skin. On paper the petrichor-seaweed dry down isn't as prominent. On my skin this dries down into what I can only imagine is what the skin of a siren would smell like. It has a subtle briny muskiness to it that is only revealed after peering through the seaweed. I am not the biggest fan of the opening notes however. They are very bright and can be vibrissae-singeing at times. I like to imagine it as a flash of lightning over rocks, but it is still a bit too bright for my tastes. This lasted about 4 hours on my skin, with the base notes lingering ever so slightly for longer. Overall if you want a dark marine scent this is a great choice - it truly does evoke imagery of being on the beach alone during a thunderstorm. But do not expect this to be all doom and gloom as the top citrus notes will light up the sky for the first 20 minutes of your stay."
Fragrantica: "An absolute standout aquatic. Cold, briny sea salt and dark mineral water grounded by that signature, resinous Heretic labdanum base. Has a rich, musky warmth underneath the ocean air that keeps it from being a generic aquatic. Deep, atmospheric, and addictive."
Fragrantica: "The first time smelling this perfume immediately reminded me of Santa Cruz. I have long associated eucalyptus with trips there. The scent of the coast coming in from the driver's window and redwood forests through the passenger side as you're driving up the 1. It also evokes driving through the marine layer on a particularly early drive before the sun has burned it all off. I don't get many dark qualities from it, perhaps other than a clandestine adolescent bonfire down on the beach. Not as many d*mn vampires as you'd expect in Santa Carla. I never thought I'd be drawn to marine/mineralic scents. Oud Minerale opened me up to the possibility. This one convinced me. It's dripping with memories."
Fragrantica: "Too beautiful....I fell for you, you fell for me. Laying on the edge of the sea...... Encapsulates my mood most of the day. Comforting. Sitting infront of an ocean and watching the waves crash by yourself. A very calming solitude vibe... Lime is there with the pepper and has undertones of black or earl Grey tea and dry down of amber. Very strong eucalyptus so you have to be in the mood for this one. Otherwise it will be purely medicinal."
Fragrantica: "Warm, dry, floraly marine scent. Beachy, salty sea water that quickly evolves into photorealistic seaweed. A dash of ground pepper & floral petals gradually deliquesce into a pelagic algae wrack."
Fragrantica: "Everyone says pirates but i immediately think Lost Boys. Nighttime on a beach boardwalk in California. Goth boy with a bit of a rockabilly style. Tattoos, salty skin and sea mist."
Fragrantica: "I am DEEPLY in love. Briny, musky, a hint green. I dread the day my sample runs out but I can't stop wearing this. Extremely realistic misty ocean cliffside or sunken pirate ship, which I couldn't love more. This is 100% what Will Turner smelled like when he was soaked in seawater from the Dutchman. On some people I can see how this is hard to wear, but for my fellow green and aquatic scent girlies this is shockingly wearable. I even got a compliment from a coworker who has a very basic "clean girl" vibe, which left me very pleasantly surprised."
