Cactus Abduction

Lift off with Cactus Abduction by Heretic Parfum, a crisp limited edition eau de parfum that takes its inspiration from the mysterious night-blooming cactus flower, Cereus. Alien-like and pollinated by bats, the bloom emits a spicy green aroma that perfumer Douglas Little dunks in fresh geranium absolute, green pepper and prickly pear to evoke the scent of the plant’s water-filled green stems.

From Heretic
Curious succulent stems, prolific pads and bizarre scaly branches reach to the sun God, basking in the scorching heat. We have been abducted by the genus Cactaceae or cactus, a family comprising 127 genera with some 1750 known species. Not usually celebrated for their fragrance, we have drawn inspiration from the mysterious night-blooming Cereus, an alien flower pollinated by bats that exudes a spicy, green and addicting aroma into the inky midnight sky. With the intent of creating concept-driven, one-of-a-kind fragrances, we return to a sense of true artisan craftsmanship. This fragrance will not return once it’s sold out!
