Inspired by one of nature’s most captivating outlaws, Thornapple captures the fascination of a plant suspended between beauty and danger, dream and delirium. Verdant leaves, saffron and an uncanny apple accord surrender to black tea, dark plum, frankincense, oakmoss and musk. It’s a fragrance of forbidden beauty. Alluring but dangerous. Thornapple Eau de Parfum does not contain any poison and is not a literal portrait of Datura. This fragrance is an interpretation of the myths, the strange fascination, and obsessions this plant inspires. It explores the dark earth beneath its roots, the narcotic sweetness of its blooms, the forbidden temptation of its fruit, and the delirious dreamscape that has surrounded it for centuries. A fragrance of dangerous beauty, Thornapple imagines an enchanted fruit gathered beneath a waning moon, where verdant leaves, saffron, and an uncanny apple accord surrender to black tea, dark plum, frankincense, oakmoss, and musk. It’s a fragrance that lingers like the memory of a beautiful delirium. A dream remembered at dawn.’ – Heretic Parfum

‘Ive always thought of poisonous plants as the punk rockers of the botanical world. They exist on the fringe. They refuse domestication. They are beautiful without asking permission. Dangerous without apology. They remind us that nature is not here to comfort us. Thornapple—Datura—may be the greatest rebel among them. For centuries this moonlit bloom has occupied the threshold between medicine and poison, beauty and danger, dream and delirium.  Its flowers unfurl under moonlight like ivory trumpets announcing some forbidden ceremony. Its spiky armored fruits resemble medieval weapons. Its scent is intoxicating. Its history is soaked in magic, medicine, madness, and myth.’ – Douglas Little
