What does Sacred Scarab (Extrait de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with civet, aldehydes and lemon; in the heart, blue lotus, plum and wine sweeten it. The base lays down a resinous, woody floor of cedarwood, juniper, myrrh, frankincense and labdanum. The accords also include floral, sweet, spicy and chypre.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall, winter and spring, and it is chosen more for evenings and nights out. Feminine, classic and masculine votes are close, so it doesn't settle on one side of the gender line. Zoologist Sacred Scarab Attar has a close profile.
