Well, this is interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever thought about what Count Olok from Nosferatu smells like, but I imagine he doesn’t smell good.
Regardless, Heretic Parfum and perfumer Douglas Little have teamed up with Focus Features to create and release a limited edition scent celebrating the release of the new Nosferatu movie.
The scent is described as, “cold, pale and pellucid, the fragrance evokes the uneasy chill of encountering an apparition.
“A scent as atmospheric as the film, the perfume transports the wearer into the dark spaces inhabited by Count Orlok himself.
“The Eau de macabre opens with top notes of lilac and ambrette seed that fall into a heart chord of violet, orris root and petrichor. The mysterious dry-down is woven around vegan ambergris and Oud absolute.”
Heretic Parfum’s Nosferatu is available now on Heretic Parfum’s website for $125.
The cap of each 30ml bottle is engraved with Count Orlok’s sigil and comes packaged in an exquisite black coffret complete with printed fragrance notes and inspiration.
The Robert Eggers-directed film “is a gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him.”
Bill Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, Nicholas Hoult, Emma Corrin and Lily-Rose Depp star alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), Simon McBurney and Ralph Ineson in the film.
Nosferatu will be released in theaters on December 25, 2024.
