I was able to get my nose on this the other day and haven’t been able to get it off my mind, it was very a very interesting fragrance to say the least. The opening was a bit much for me, but I will say the dry down is very pleasant and warm to me. I will for sure be re visiting this soon!
Just smelled this… absolutely incredible. I’m drooling. Smelled probably 20 fragrances before this, and they were mostly good, some amazing. But this? Can’t even find the words-it’s that good
Sacred Scarab was pleasant, as was Bat, but they didn't last on me as long as Cardinal, Elephant, and Squid did. I've only tried 5 fragrances from this house but I have all the samples, so there are lots more to go through. So far, I'm very impressed. I have a feeling I may like them all.
Been loving this one. Had to get a bottle when my sample ran out. I think the musky floral finish has this charming old school character, and the opening is very bright and happy. The more I sample Zoologist the more I like them. I have Camel and Squid and last night I tried Rhinoceros and love that too. I need to stop for my wallets sake.
I was sent a sample of this with my SeaHorse purchase a few months back. It's a very interesting scent. The Intial spray is very pungent, however it turns very lovely quickly.
Can't wait to try this. Sultan's work is amazing, truly second to none. Anyone who hasn't picked up a sample set from him definitely needs to get on that! It's a great deal & the most eye-opening sample set in the entire perfumery game, IMO.
Please forgive me for lacking awareness, but how do we pick up a sample set of Sultan’s work? I absolutely want to try this one but also want to try others he’s created! Thx!
I’ve been waiting on this review. The aldehyde was really unexpectedly strong, but in a great way. I was sad it didn’t last a bit longer on my skin, but still a fantastic release and a worthy purchase.
Great review, I can totally relate to your impressions as I have Sacred Scarab in my collection and really love this creation from Sultan Pasha. To me it's less challenging than you describe it, but maybe I have a greater tolerance since I also enjoy Hyrax very much, haha. 😂
Never tried any from Sultan Pasha, sounds very interesting, will definitely try, I need a bottle of Seahorse maybe not the best from Zoologist but it has grown on me. Thank you Sebastian!!!
I came across a blue lotus absolute years ago form a local perfumer and I fell in love with the scent. Unfortunately, it's not common in many fragrances. I'm definitely intrigued.
I can't wait to try this one. I'm fairly new in my fragrance journey and I'm learning that ambers are my favourite. I also love zoologist especially squid, camel, civet, camelion and bee.
My favorite from Zoologist is Hyrax, so you could say I like those kind of dirty musky scents. Now I have a question, before my sample arrives, does the soapy musky vibe remind you of how YSL Kouros comes across?
Love the review Sebastian. I got a sample of this recently and fell in love glad you love it too and like you I also hope he does more spray perfumes. His work here is so beautiful ☺️ thanks Sebastian so good to hear your thoughts on this
Ohh!! Can’t wait to sample this amber floral … and all the other notes it carries. Sounds amazing (blue lotus, wine, plum, incense, civet, raisins and a scarab beetle pheromone?!) … seems quite evocative of a mysterious Greek or Egyptian temple!! 🪲 PS…wonder if he got any of his inspiration from the Kyphi incense recipes (from the 1st century BC) found in the temple of Edfu or Philae? Similar ingredients and notes! I have tried to replicate this recipe for my own Kyphi resinous incense and it absolutely produces pellets of dreamy dried fruity, sticky and resinous incense, fit for goddesses and gods alike. Again, so excited to try this new fragrance! I hope he captures such magical mystery in this bottle! ⚱️ Ingredients of the Kyphi found on the walls of the temples, plus suggested preparation: “Mastic, pine resin, sweet flag, aspalathos, camel grass, mint and cinnamon are ground together in a pestle and mortar, the liquid residue is thrown away then the cyperus, juniper berries, pine kernels and peker are ground to a powder and added to the mastic mixture. To this combined mixture, they added wine, then left for 5 days. the mixture would then be boiled, until it is reduced by 1/5th, honey and frankincense are then added and reduced by 1/5th the mixtures are then added together, adding then the ground myrrh. This would then be made into small pellets to burn as incense.”
Hi Sebastian, great review as usual. I'm keen on Sacred Scarab, but you said it might be challenging to some. Can you peg it against another amber-eg. Elie Saab' Amber No.9nor Serge Lutens Sultan Ambre or even Any Tauer frags? Just to gauge if it is in the same genre. Or is it totally way off? Thanks so much.
Fantastic interview with Sultan Pasha! It’s so refreshing to have a non-sickly sweet amber accord. You’re so right, the airy/dense balance is fascinating! I Adore my sample & will be purchasing a bottle very soon! 🙌🙏❤️
I got a sample of it and found it to be super soapy. I think it's the blue lotus that contributes to that. After about an hour it turns into the sweetest myrrh scent...
Fecal is my first thought based on the name. Scarabs=dung beetle. I haven't listen to the review yet but if does not have a hint eau doo doo ithe scent cannot be inspired by this beetle.
My first impression of Sacred Scarab is very old school grand dame vibes, I mean it smells like a vintage. If I didn’t know it was new I would think it was a vintage from a grand old house. I like it especially in the heart and base. But it doesn’t dethrone my beloveds Civet and Squid
Floral musk sounded right up my alley, was thinking of a floral Civet. Its a very complex and balanced scent, really nice; sampled it and unfortunately it leans too much into "grandma in the church" style, right up there with nightingale.
I've been waiting to hear your take on this release! I enjoyed Cow and Seahorse that came out a few months ago - But, they were honestly lacking on the boldness and the artistry that I know Zoologist is capable of! This release, Sacred Scarab and Cockatiel (coming soon) - I cannot WAIT to get my hands on! I believe both of these 2 newest releases coming from Zoologist are going to be very different from one another - and both fantastic in their own way..So, thank you for reviewing Sacred Scarab for us - And I am excited to hear about Cockatiel soo...xoxo
That would depend on how you define performance. I've tried most of them and I find they all last a very long time 8h+ but they don't have a very big sillage.
Interesting, i am also want to know more about the Thyina the new from Neela Vermeire, aare you going to review the 3 news ? Was quite interesting when you talk about it in Milán. Have you tried in Milán the new one from Santi Burgas,Verdadnt delirium?
Was looking forward to this. It's too soapy and fruity floral which overwhelm the animalics for me...it's interesting but not enjoyable since the top stays and stays and stays, so i pass...

This one made a major shift mid wear, from a bright spring day to a Christmas at Hogwarts. Magic stuff.
I agree!!

I didn’t vibe with Cow and nightingale

2 favorites from Zoologist......MOTH and BEE !!
I have a sample coming of Sacred Scarab.
Oh cool!!
I plan to sample all of this house. Tried Bee, Rhino (new one), T-Rex, Snowy Owl
I’ve sampled it. It smells majestic.
Never tried any from Sultan Pasha, sounds very interesting, will definitely try, I need a bottle of Seahorse maybe not the best from Zoologist but it has grown on me. Thank you Sebastian!!!
I came across a blue lotus absolute years ago form a local perfumer and I fell in love with the scent. Unfortunately, it's not common in many fragrances. I'm definitely intrigued.
I’ve only tried 4 but I think bee nightingale and moth are all full bottle worthy. Just gorgeous!

Pasha seems very passionate about the research and work that went into this fragrance. Great words from him

Fantastic lotus note in this.
Indeed it is!
Based on the number of times you used the word, I can tell you have quite the "experience" with Sacred Scarab, LOL ;o) I did too!
Amazing dusty vintage scent
Just picked this up about an hour ago. Love it…
I'm really excited about trying this one. I will order a sample together with my buy of Seahorse 🌹
Still waiting for my bottle in the mail. Can't wait to try this out for the hot summer days.
I am uncertain about this brand. Can't find one I like but still need to try one your favorite Bee.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

Hi Sebastian! I’ve been waiting for this video! Can’t wait to know what you think!

The best zoologist by a mile
Civet and Squid are my favorites. I have just received a sample of this which I just put on while watching this review
My first impression of Sacred Scarab is very old school grand dame vibes, I mean it smells like a vintage. If I didn’t know it was new I would think it was a vintage from a grand old house. I like it especially in the heart and base. But it doesn’t dethrone my beloveds Civet and Squid

I loved the modern revival of this kind of fragrance but I will agree with you on nightingale

They have environment noise cancelling features in most editing apps.. this footage is unwatchable
Nope they don’t in Premiere!
Enjoy many from Zoologist, including Sacred Scarab🪲Also, a fan of Sultan Pasha ❤
I can’t think of a most perfect match for this concept. It sounds divine.
Yes good duo!!
Interesting. I never got any zoologist before as performance seemed lacking on a lot of them but I was interested in cow.
That would depend on how you define performance. I've tried most of them and I find they all last a very long time 8h+ but they don't have a very big sillage.
@@britsticher8889 thanks for clarifying❤️
Interesting, i am also want to know more about the Thyina the new from Neela Vermeire, aare you going to review the 3 news ? Was quite interesting when you talk about it in Milán.
Have you tried in Milán the new one from Santi Burgas,Verdadnt delirium?
Was Sultan at a Mets game? I couldn’t hardly hear a word.
Increase the volume
Will this displace my favorite: Macaque? Need to get a sample soon.
The fragrance sounds absolutely intriguing.
Good one! Now I want a review of Davidoff Cool Water Reborn!
Zoologist is so good. I have cow but I think I want Hummingbird next.
OOh I don't know Humminbird.
Aren’t Scarabs those beetles that push around dung balls?
Thanks Sebastian, my sample is on the way
I like Bee.
Was looking forward to this. It's too soapy and fruity floral which overwhelm the animalics for me...it's interesting but not enjoyable since the top stays and stays and stays, so i pass...
Makes sense!! 😀
Oh dear sound was bad,I couldn't hear much unfortunately. Is it a synthetic civet in this fragrance ?
I have not idea but I doubt it! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy ok thanks
Zoologist Perfumes uses only synthetic civet :)
@@jerryyanis thanks
Would you say it's as challenging as Kouros, or less?
It could be if the Animalics are more pronounced on you but the aldehydes soapiness is covering it up on me!!
I really wanned to love this one as i love the brand, but sadly wasn't for me :(
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you !
thank you
I Love Camel & Elephant
Amazing !!!
Sebastian….Please!!!! Don’t lose your Nose🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼
just got it haha
Can’t hers the guy too much background noise.
