Heretic Parfum Queen of the Night

Fragrance Overview

Queen of the Night by Heretic is a luminous floral fragrance inspired by Selenicereus grandiflorus, the elusive night-blooming cactus flower that opens just once a year for a single moonlit night.

Native to Central and South America, Queen of the Night has long inspired myths through the fleeting beauty of its luminous flowers and their sweet, hypnotic fragrance. Heretic uses this rare nocturnal bloom as the inspiration for a composition exploring femininity, abundance and the ephemeral beauty of nature.

Part of Heretic's tarot-inspired collection, Queen of the Night is paired with II – The High Priestess, reflecting the flower's associations with mystery, intuition, introspection and hidden knowledge.

What Does Queen of the Night Smell Like?

Queen of the Night opens with exotic ylang-ylang illuminated by bitter orange and lime, creating a bright citrus-floral introduction with a softly tropical quality.

The heart becomes lush and opulent through jasmine, while mimosa introduces an airy, powdery and subtly green contrast. Together, they evoke the sweet, rich and slightly fruity character associated with the nocturnal Queen of the Night flower.

As it settles, vanilla brings smooth, enveloping warmth while vetiver adds a dry, earthy-green foundation. The result is a luminous floral fragrance that balances hypnotic sweetness and creamy vanilla with fresh citrus, powdery mimosa and grounding vetiver.
