Doppelgänger by Heretic Parfum revolves around the unsettling moment when something seems both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. Like a second self at the edge of perception: a reflection that does not quite match one’s own image.
This delicate sense of uncertainty defines the fragrance. It follows no clearly defined classic structure, instead unfolding in fleeting layers—perceptible, gone again, and unexpectedly returning later, like an echo of one’s own warmth.
At first, cool citrus and a fleeting, almost ghostly aroma drift across the skin. As it develops, soft floral facets and a restrained spiciness return in gentle waves. The base of light woods and diffuse musks remains soft and understated—with a subtle salty, warm, and slightly animalic facet.
- Top note: Cool citrus notes, ethereal aromatic facets
- Heart note: Soft florals, restrained spice
-
Base note: Light, abstract woods, diffuse musks
Doppelgänger deliberately remains understated, merging with the warmth of the skin into a delicate veil with an unusual presence. An unconventional fragrance for anyone who likes modern molecule perfumes, fine woods, and subtle spice—and is looking for fragrances that do not reveal everything at once.
Heretic Parfum develops unconventional, gender-independent fragrances with a plant-focused signature. Founder and perfumer Douglas Little combines botanical raw materials with selected modern fragrance molecules. The fragrances are made in small batches in the studio in Los Angeles and are allowed to unfold individually over time, warmth, and movement.

Ghosts Collection
GHOSTS – Heretic Parfum x Chelsea Wolfe
Doppelgänger belongs to the GHOSTS Collection, a collaboration between Heretic Parfum and musician Chelsea Wolfe. The five fragrances in the series – Spectral Grace, Ektoplasma, The Veil, Doppelgänger, and Shadow People – engaging with themes of memory, perception, and fleeting presence.
The collection’s fragrances are deliberately designed to be transparent and fluid. Spectral musk notes, light woods, ghostly florals, and delicate animalic nuances emerge, recede, and appear again later.
Within the collection, Doppelgänger embodies the motif of the second self. The soft musk facets reflect human warmth, while light woods provide structure without becoming tangible or fixed. The result is a fragrance that feels familiar yet remains subtly shifted.
For a personalized fragrance effect, Doppelgänger can be combined with the other fragrances in the GHOSTS Collection. Find inspiration for your own fragrance combinations in our article Individual Fragrance Creations: The Art of Layering.
