Cactus Abduction by Heretic Parfum opens brightly and tartly with grapefruit and bitter orange. Carrot seed, cedar, and plai quickly give the citrus freshness a drier, spicier direction.
At the heart is prickly pear – juicy and green, but not sweet. Geranium absolute and green pepper enhance the botanical freshness before vetiver, patchouli, benzoin, and aloe wood make the fragrance drier, woodier, and somewhat smokier.
A mineral petrichor accord evokes rain falling on dry, warm stone. This cool freshness runs throughout the fragrance and creates a beautiful contrast with the warm woods and resins in the base.
- Top note: Grapefruit, bitter orange, carrot seed, cedar, plai (cassumunar ginger)
- Heart note: Green pepper, geranium absolute, prickly pear
-
Base note: Vetiver, patchouli, benzoin, aloe wood (agarwood/oud)
Cactus Abduction was inspired by night-blooming cacti, particularly the night-blooming cereus. Heretic does not turn it into a classic floral fragrance, but rather an unconventional blend of citrus, green plants, spices, dry woods, and mineral freshness.
Cactus Abduction suits you if you like green and citrusy perfumes but are looking for something drier and more unusual. It is fresh without smelling clean or soapy, and fruity without becoming sweet.
With grapefruit, prickly pear, and mineral freshness, it is a beautiful choice for warmer days. Vetiver, woods, and benzoin also give it enough depth to keep it from smelling like a purely summery fragrance. Like all Heretic fragrances, Cactus Abduction is designed to be gender-neutral.

Application
- Spray onto the insides of the wrists, behind the ears, on the sides of the neck, or in the crooks of the elbows as needed.

Cactus Abduction also layers well. Heretic recommends combining it with Dirty Grass, Dirty Peach, or Bergamusk.
