What It Smells Like
Blodwode by Heretic is a limited-edition fragrance created in collaboration with Robert Eggers' film Werwulf. Its name translates as "Blood Wood", and it explores the memory of a forest after something violent has taken place. The composition centres on the scent of wounded bark, metallic blood, wet leather, animal hide and the warmth of skin.
The opening is sharp, bitter and unusual. Cinnamon bark introduces a dry, spicy warmth, while mastic resin adds a green, balsamic quality. The blood accord brings a distinctive metallic edge, intended to evoke the copper-like smell of iron and blood rather than a sweet or fruity impression. It gives the fragrance an immediate sense of tension.
As the fragrance develops, jasmine and Turkish rose introduce a softer floral dimension. These notes bring contrast to the sharper opening, adding a slightly sensual quality without turning the composition into a conventional floral fragrance. The florals sit against the resinous and metallic character, creating an unusual balance between softness and something more primal.
The dry-down becomes darker, warmer and more earthy. Patchouli provides a damp, woody depth, while vetiver adds an earthy, root-like smokiness. Benzoin contributes a balsamic warmth, and flesh musk gives the fragrance its animalic, skin-like character. The overall impression is of wet leather, warm skin, dark woods and lingering resin.
Blodwode is deliberately unconventional. Its metallic blood accord and animalic musk make it more challenging than a typical woody fragrance, while the florals and resins give it depth beyond the initial sharpness. It is designed to evoke the aftermath of a transformation, rather than simply recreate the smell of a forest.
Overall, the fragrance feels like the memory of something wild and unsettling: metallic blood, wounded wood, damp earth, warm skin and dark resin. It is sharp, earthy, animalic and distinctly atmospheric.
