Dirty Grass

Smells intensely green. The pungent bitter green of the galbanum and wet earthiness of vetiver are by far the most prominent notes, with a vague background spiciness and the tartness of the lemon. I find this very uplifting in the cold dark winter months; it transports me to a warm sunny field of fresh grass. It's also divine in the summertime, and definitely feels more like a summer scent. I feel so cool and unique wearing it. It does have an ever-so-subtle tinge of fresh, unsmoked pot scent to it (I don't think wearing this runs the risk of anyone thinking you'd just smoked a joint, though) - I would say this just adds to the intense green scent. I've never felt any of the purported effects of the CBD. Whether this is because of the low dose from a few sprays or because I regularly smoke pot (or because all the hype around topical CBD is bunk) I couldn't say.

Blind-bought the 15ml, which says it has 150mg CBD per bottle. The box suggests 3-4 pumps at pulse points around the neck for full effect, but I just wanted a first impression of the scent and spritzed one pump on the back of my hand. So far, I love the extreme green, slightly resiny galbanum and cut grass scent. There were lots of morphs in the first minute, the lemon peel coming out at first and quickly disappearing. I'm actually glad to not be getting much spiciness or pink pepper, just some rounding out of the golden resin sharpness probably by the coriander. So far, I don't find this smoky (I usually expect campfire smoke like cade or bourbon if something says it is smoky), and it lacks any sweetness if you are thinking of cut grass in a hay or lawn sense, which is fine with me! The simplicity might make it easier to layer with others.

I have tried several fragrances from Heretic Parfum, and Dirty Grass is my favorite. The opening is very green and smells like cut grass. I don't sense lemon and don't know what to expect from Hemp CBD. The spiciness notes are there, but the presentation is mild and won't sting your nose. I love vetiver; the basenote vetiver in Dirty Grass is just prominent and lovely! The thought to have a fragrance develops from freshly cut grass opening to dry down vetiver is just clever. It is unique, and I really enjoy it! I can't stop sniffing my wrists and shirt! [Edit: I really enjoy this Dirty Grass and bought a full bottle! Although I have to agree that it is way more expensive than it should have been. Very green, very vetiver, very very lovely!]

Big fan of this one, smells like you're laying face down in a grassy forest in the middle of nowhere. Theres some citrus plants nearby, some flowers, dirt, and it's very pleasant and tranquil. Very natural, actual grass smell that is refreshing and addicting. Unfortunately performance isn't that great (it's definitely more of a "for me" scent) but very enjoyable nonetheless

I get so much mulch from this fragrance, wood and dirt and fresh cut lawn clippings. It's so fresh it's nearly carrot-like in essence. Herbal and bright, I can't stop smelling this scent. While it's not my favorite to wear, it's one of my favorites to smell.

So far my favorite and best performing of the "dirty" fragrances from Heretic. A citrus and green explosion, it has a staying power that is longer than many of Heretic's other fragrances. Clean, crisp, lively.

Vetiver bomb. And a pleasant one at that. A skin scent, but longer lasting than expected. Makes me feel a bit like a fat electrician.

I tried many grass scents and this one is my favorite! It's true to its name and it smells like dirty grass. Perfection.

This is an interesting fragrance, and one that I'm somewhat on the fence about. I was expecting a much greener, fresh cut grass experience, but on my skin the scent is dominated more by pink pepper and coriander than the grassy galbanum I was anticipating to be the star of the show. The base of vetiver works nicely to soften the aromatic pepperiness, and the galbanum is present, but it's a lot more subtle than expected. It's not bad by any means, but it's not what I'd usually gravitate towards. Thankfully I'm not detecting any of the gasoline some people have reported. 7/10

Walking into a trendy overpriced vegan restaurant or grocery shop in Los Angeles and you will find a Sexy Juice & Smoothie Bar. When you approach you will walk into an aura of green, hydrating, uplifting possibilities. Could I be a green juice girly who hikes all day instead of having a day job? Quite possibly! It also reminds me of all the Jamba Juices in the early 2000’s when they just discovered wheatgrass shots. I really do love this scent and could see craving it for specific moods. But it’s not a full bottle for me.

Quite strong at first and not in a great way. However, leaving it to settle on the skin for about an hour makes it a much nicer fragrance where a lot more of the sweetness comes out to balance the scent. Overall, it's not something I'd wear everyday but to a special occasion where you want to be noticed. Overall, I enjoy it, but with the price tag, I'm glad I just have the sample and will not be sad when I run out.

I like this one a lot, but sometimes I need a break from it and I have to be in the mood for it. Sometimes it gives me more of a chemical whiff, other times it's freshly cut wet grass. Not sure if that has to do with my skin (bodywash etc), but there are times when this scent is nasty and times when it's amazing, all from the same bottle x'D

Galbanum is one of my favorite notes ever, and this scent is screaming with it. The vetiver is a beautiful pairing for this delightful springtime green scent. Dirty Grass is truly genderless — my husband and I both love it equally. Full bottle worthy—just don’t expect the CBD to actually do anything!

Vetiver's tendency to dominate other scents is beautifully hindered by the fresh citrusy notes. I don't get the bitterness of a freshly cut lawn like other comments say but I do get a bright, verdant springtime. It's a lovely, simple, beginner-friendly scent.

This is so unique. It literally smells like country grass, like walking through a forest. I love it. Its not a crowd pleaser, but its very refreshing and takes me back to the outdoors even when I havent been able to get away for a while.

This smells wonderful – very green and a little spicy. I looooove the galbanum. But it doesn’t last and doesn’t project at all. Truly unisex and very agreeable. This would be a great daytime/office scent.

Smells like lemon zest over a freshly-grown lawn, with something green and spicy towards the end. It's a bit too masculine for me personally but I do enjoy it.

The marketing copy is all about pot and CBD, but to me this smells pleasantly like mowing the lawn.

Like this scent for layering with other light fragrances that I want to take a sweet edge off of.

smells like rolling around in the grass as a child on a warm spring day
