Fucking yes please Heretic! More like this will serve you well! What an absolutely bombastic swagger of a perfume! Big hits of resinous and musky undertones, with moments of bright florals, and a herbaceous middle. When it settles down, it is tinged with a little kiss of smoke. It sends a shiver down my spine and wets my winkie. I could marry it. I was shown this by the owner of Nox in York (they are only UK stockist, and they are in York, where my vessel lives!) and I bought it so fast that I nearly snapped their hand off. They definitely saw me coming and knew that I would love it. Everything about it is perfection, like when the OG Ghostbusters come back at the end of Ghostbusters Afterlife. It is tasteful, mysterious and full of class. Even the box is gorgeous. It sits proudly in my collection as one of the darkest scents I own. It is important to remember that you shouldn't be scared of the dark; it's what hides in the dark that you should be scared of. Relate that to perfume, and Haxan by Heretic is what lurks in the dark. I find the sillage to be decent; leaves a nice trail behind you, like one of The Red Arrows. The longevity could be a bit better, but the bottle is a perfect size to discreetly carry with you, so you can top up when needed. Price wise, it is fair. If you think it's overpriced, then you don't love perfumes as much as you claim to do, as you should see Haxan as a must-have in your collection. It absolutely obliterates all other Heretic perfumes. There's a lot of dross in the world of perfumery, but there is also moments of perfection. Haxan gives one of those moments. Yes. I could cry about how good it is. Forever. 10/10. Buy it. Cunt.

This is so lovely. I truly feel at peace when I wear it. It reminds me of going thrift shopping and these scented paper flowers me and my brother arrange for a loved one that’s past. This smells familiar, almost emotional. Opens super jammy, dried and smooth. Like fruit leather. I really like osmanthus (I’m thinking that’s what’s giving the jammy dried fruits smell). The rose is not overpowering and is absolutely perfect. This feels very naturally me. The amber is very antique smelling and smooth. It feels like an antique store with both modern and vintage elements. It’s so perfect I really could cry. I would call this extremely wearable but still not a safe blind buy. Brings to mind simmer pots and drying out fruits in the oven during ritual work. The texture feels like smooth leather and it’s so unique while still feeling familiar to me. Lasts a significant amount of time. I’d say closer to the 5hr mark. Doesn’t project much after 5 hrs but I think that’s adds the allure. It kinda comes and goes which for this kind of profile is even more satisfying. Almost like when you buy new clothes from an occult shop and the fabric has absorbed the herbs in the air so when you take it home it smells like the store. I feel like this is my new signature. I keep trying to give the other ones in the discovery set a chance but I’m flying through my sample of haxan and I fear I can’t live without it

Opens almost tobacco-like on my skin in the loveliest way. Kinda smokey and kinda sweet. This is a gorgeous scent and i love it. The initial spray is intense and aromatic. The dry down is much softer and sweet. I think this is wearable during the day or night and any time of year. Layering this with different scents also ups its versatility throughout the seasons

A witch in the woods just after midnight under a silver moon as she cuts roses from her garden to use in a spell. The scent of oakmoss fills the air as it has just rained. There's a sweetness to this perfume, a hint of a vanilla somewhere but the floral equals it out. It is such a beautiful, mysterious alluring scent. It stays with you long after you put it on.

this might actually be the most beautiful thing i have ever smelled. i left new orleans a few days ago and for some reason this is RIPPING me back there. there is something so juicy about this scent it's so sophisticated and witchy and SEXY!!!!!!
