About This Perfume

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.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: anyone after something amber forward and cozy for date nights.
  • Sample first if: animal is new territory for you.
  • Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.

Around $240.
