A Signature Fragrance
Agarwood (Oud)
From the resinous knots of Aquilaria trees, agarwood emerges as a dense, dark wood with an aroma that's both earthy and sweet. Its scent is often described as woody and spicy, with hints of smoke and incense, making it one of perfumery’s most sought-after materials.
Incense
Incense, a blend of resins, woods, and gums burned for their aromatic smoke, carries an aroma that is at once earthy and ethereal. Its origins trace back to religious ceremonies and spiritual practices, where its smoky, warm scent was believed to bridge earthly and divine realms.
Indonesian Patchouli Leaf
Indonesian Patchouli Leaf emanates from the lush gardens of Indonesia, where it thrives on rich soil. Its scent is an intense blend of earth and green, with hints of woodsy sweetness that evoke the forest floor after a rainstorm. This versatile note carries the essence of nature's bounty, offering a robust yet nuanced aroma.

Fragrances that pair well with Bestium
Oud Rose, Vanilla Sandalwood
Bestium's oud and Turkish rose meet Ambar del Sur's vanilla and sandalwood, with Spanish labdanum and patchouli shared between them, so the resinous rose base picks up a sweeter, creamier finish. Saffron and incense keep Bestium's smokier side present under the vanilla.
Spray Bestium first for its rose-oud opening, then layer Ambar del Sur on the chest so the vanilla and tonka round out the drydown.
