Launched in 2017 by Heretic Parfum, Dita Von Teese Scandalwood is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to natural and artisanal perfumery. Douglas Little crafted this composition with an intricate balance of warm spices, powdery woods, and rich amber notes. The fragrance opens with Atlas Cedar and Palisander Rosewood, which create a woody warmth that is further enhanced by Bulgarian Rose and Ylang-Ylang for a floral touch. Sandalwood and White Musk anchor the scent with deep musky undertones, while Myrrh and Orris Root add an earthy complexity.

Douglas Little, the only child of professional photographers, developed his fragrance sense as a child through a game with his mother identifying plants by scent. He studied at UCLA, ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, and Nationale des Fabricants de Produits Aromatiques in Grasse, working as a creative director, product designer, and window-display artist for brands like Van Cleef & Arpels before launching Heretic Parfum in 2015, known for naturally-derived ingredients and provocatively named candles created with Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop.
