Zoologist Perfumes Sacred Scarab smells like sun-warmed resin incense, animalic lemon. It opens with aldehydes, civet and lemon, moves into wine, blue lotus and plum and settles on benzoin, frankincense and amber. It reads unisex.
It works across all four seasons and is an evening scent. It suits date nights and nights out. Released in 2022.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length. Wearers suggest letting a new bottle rest for a couple of weeks; it tends to smooth out.
Around $240.
