Blood Berry

I love this. It’s mostly Black Currant and Geranium, then rose with a little “green citronella” note, then sweet raspberry on the long dry down. I love the tart, bright smell of Black Currant but there aren’t many perfumes for the body that are using it yet. There are some home fragrances with it though. MFK recently released a room diffuser that smells very similar, Rue des Grosseiliers. Also smells similar to Diptyque Baies and Glasshouse Night Before Christmas. If people aren’t familiar with Black Currant, they may detect it as rose. I thought Blood Cedar would be my favorite but this is my favorite Blood scent. Heretic, please keep making unique fragrances and ignore people who haven’t caught up.

I'm a huge fan of this fragrance. Many of the other reviews say how the berry isn't strong, but I find it to be quite noticeable, which creates a very earthy sweetness. Some of the notes also create a bit of spice which balances the scent even more. This is a gourmand for people who need to clock into their forest cemetery shift.

I got the Blood Box today, and Heretic never misses for me. I can see where they are going with the whole collection, although all four scents are different, there is a certain ~haunting~ quality that ties them together, making them recognizably Heretic's. All four scents work very well with my skin chemistry, too, which is amazing. Blood Berry is, albeit not my kind of scent, is executed beautifully. You take a fistful of ripe berries and squeeze the juice out of them over the bouquet of roses. The citrus adds not necessarily the freshness but rather tartness to the berries. Update: After the sample got to sit in the drawer for a month, the rose became more prominent, which is not my favorite thing... It's still nice, but I wanted the berries to be the strongest note, not the rose.

I like this, very photo realistic crushed rose petal, in your face citrus and a whisper of sweet raspberries. It is very bright, deliciously juicy potpourri which gathered a little dust. It will be nice to layer! But it doesn't last on skin. I get 2 hours max

This was so pretty out of the bottle and on paper, but the sillage and longevity are terrible.
