Sacred Scarab Attar by Zoologist Perfumes, crafted by Sultan Pasha and launched in 2023, is an enigmatic blend of aldehydes, balsamic resins, and animalic notes. The fragrance opens with a bright clash between lemon and aldehydes, creating a tension that sets the stage for its complex journey. At its heart lies red wine and plum, adding a touch of richness and depth, while blue lotus and myrrh offer an exotic floral twist. The base layers of musk, amber, and cedar provide warmth and longevity, grounding the composition in earthy sophistication.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its nuances to unfold gradually. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, while the base notes take time to bloom and provide lasting warmth. Best suited for evening or cooler weather when you want an intimate and complex scent.
