♠ Heresy - a deep, dark, smoky resinous scent with hints of florals. 
 
♠ What is heresy? 
Is heresy when we blaspheme, as is it often interpreted today, or is it the ancient sense of the word when we turn and go our own way, carving our own path through life and refusing to conform? 
Imagine ancient sects meeting in secret to study the more obscure laws of the universe, the arcane, the esoteric, and the occult. The temple hall is shrouded in flickering shadows and dancing candlelight and filled with the heavy scent of incense and smoke. Its walls are covered in ancient symbols that were unknowingly ripped from the collective unconscious or the fabric of the universe itself by someone somewhere and now are used to teach the followers the language of secrets. 
The damp darkness and the mingling energies lend an extraordinary soil for curious plants, mosses, and funghi to take root and bathe in the smoke of burnt offerings of fresh flowers, precious woods, and rare resins. 
 
This is Heresy. It is to dare. It is freedom.
 
And it is what this perfume is trying to capture. The deep and dark base of resins and precious woods - myrrh, frankincense, labdanum, copal, dragon’s blood, sandalwood, and amyris - burned at an altar adorned with fresh jasmine, rose, and honeysuckle flowers. It captures the almost narcotic feel of being entranced, in the ritualistic ecstasy of discovering new layers to the universe.
