The story behind the bottle.
Coeur Noir by Heretic Parfum was launched in 2016 as a unisex fragrance that embodies the mysterious and sensual aspects of nature. Created by Douglas Little, this composition opens with benzoin and black pepper, creating an initial wave of warmth and spiciness. The heart of Coeur Noir leans into labdanum before settling into a rich Madagascar vanilla base, offering an enveloping blend of balsamic and amber notes that evoke the depth of a feral forest at twilight.
Apply Coeur Noir to your pulse points for an intimate yet lasting experience. The warm spiciness is most noticeable in the first hour, so give it time to settle into its balsamic and amber base notes before stepping out.
