The Entomologist Spray
Spicy and herbaceous, The Entomologist by Heretic Parfum is an original blend of plant oils and extracts known to repel mosquitos and other biting insects. A 100% botanical insect repellent made to protect the bravest and most curious of explorers, naturally.
From Heretic
As The Entomologist knows, we are inextricably entangled with these inordinate creatures and we owe them a lot, but sometimes this relationship becomes too close for comfort and we need to protect ourselves from becoming a homo sapien smorgasbord. Luckily for us, insects communicate through scent; a language we know intimately.
By using plants as our muse and understanding how they defend themselves from unwanted invaders, we’ve developed this sublime yet functional fragrance that will keep blood-thirsty visitors at bay with its heady mix of spicy thyme, hot cinnamon, and herbaceous geranium. Rosemary, Cedar, Thyme, Geranium, Lemongrass, and Clove all have high concentrations of plant chemicals proven to repel biting insects. With the Entomologist, you won't just benefit from its insect-repelling power, you may also experience the invigorating, purifying, and restorative aromatherapy benefits of these pure botanical ingredients, like clove, cinnamon, peppermint, lemongrass, rosemary, thyme, geranium, and cedar wood.

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
