Indie Canadian line Zoologist will launch Sacred Scarab, a new unisex fragrance, in July.
The dogged prospector strikes gold. Upon discovering a payload rich with nutrients, the scarab returns home. Face down, guided by the sun, it propels the tightly-packed dung backwards to a burrow lined with dusky spheres. Underground, it tunnels into the ball to deposit a precious egg. In time, the larva hatches and feeds, until it emerges, fully formed, and instinct drives it down the same dusty trail to repeat the cycle.
Like Egyptians entrusting sacred mummies to tombs for the journey to the next life, a scarab burying its treasure marks the dawn of new life. Zoologist Sacred Scarab captures the mystique of Kyphi incense, a blend of blue lotus, raisins, plums, olibanum, myrrh, and juniper. Once bound with wine and burned in ancient rituals, today this divine scent guides your spirit on a path to discovery and rebirth.
Sacred Scarab was developed by perfumer Sultan Pasha. Additional notes include aldehydes, lemon, (synthetic) civet, plum, galbanum, cedar, styrax, benzoin, oakmoss, labdanum, musk and amber.
Zoologist Sacred Scarab will available in 60 ml Extrait de Parfum. Samples can be ordered now directly from the brand, or from Etiket in Canada.

Really looking forward to sampling this at Etiket this month when I am in Montreal!
I wish I was going to make it to Etiket, but I’m just not!
(I do still owe you an email though, crazy week but hopefully this afternoon.)
This one sounds nice too, but I have yet to sniff anything by this house that tempts me. Money saved, I guess.
Totally agree. Like the concept, packaging and all that. But nothing has been a LOVE for me.
Same. The concepts for some sound great, but the few that I have tried haven’t really worked with my chemistry.
