I’ve been slowly dragging out fragrances I think would make a great pick for Fall 2021 and I’ve been shopping for new ones like Heretic Midnight Toker. As a fond fan of Heretic Dirty Lemon, I promised myself I would explore more of what the house offers and it led me to perhaps wanting to purchase Midnight Toker.
Sure, being a great lover of the Steve Miller Band might have influenced wanting to make this purchase a little bit as I hear “I’m a joker I’m a smoker I’m a midnight toker” in the back of my head.
Of course, Midnight Toker is apparently nothing like some of my other Heretic purchases. For example, Dirty Lemon isn’t as dirty as one would think. You’d expect something naughty from the scent but what you get is a lemon-scented you with the sweet, tangy notes of lemon. Those “dirtier elements” like patchouli, sandalwood, and woods play a back note in the fragrance and the tart sweetness of lemon dominates. Makes ya wonder if Media wore it when confronting or shall we say seducing Shadow Moon.
Heretic Midnight Toker would be a big step for me since it contains all the elements of a great stinky hippie fragrance. Maybe it’s my upgrade, my brand new, lemon-scented you fragrance!
It looks like it’ll go hard on the Patchouli note and features some darker notes of cannabis which scare me because as you know I love uber sweet and foody fragrances! Am I going to walk around smelling like a Space Cowboy or will the nutmeg, vanilla, and amber round this fragrance out giving it warmth and sultriness that will be ideal for crisp fall nights? I’m not sure if I want to blind buy this one or not but I’m tempted just because Heretic has a very sneaky and interesting way of saying one thing but doing another with their fragrances.
Midnight Toker has a top layer of pink and black pepper combined with nutmeg. The heart consists of patchouli, cistus, and mkwhaen fruit and finally dries down with warming notes of sandalwood, vanilla, styrax, hibiscus seed, orris root, and cannabis. The promise of a sexy, warm, comforting amber fragrance is here but some of these notes could be taken wrong if they go hard.
Do I take a chance?
Or do I wait to smell this one…..?
Choices, choices…
As a gourmand lover, I may not be able to play nicely with Heretic Midnight Toker.
Could you?
