Bestia Sacra
Fragrance notes
Character
Bestia Sacra opens with frankincense and bergamot that introduce a resinous brightness before the heart takes hold. Castoreum, civet, and musk bring a heavy animalic weight that defines the scent, supported by myrrh, opoponax, and nagarmotha. The combination is musky, amber, and leathery, with a smoky and powdery character that feels dense on the skin. Oakmoss, sandalwood, labdanum, benzoin, and nagarmotha in the base add woody, mossy, and balsamic tones that keep the composition warm and spicy. The frankincense and bergamot fade early, leaving the animalic heart and resinous base to carry the scent forward.
The scent stays present through a normal day without overwhelming the space around you. The castoreum and civet give it a bold presence that remains near the body rather than reaching outward. It suits cooler weather and evening wear, where the warm spicy and balsamic accords feel appropriate. The musk and oakmoss add a dry foundation that balances the sweeter resin of opoponax and benzoin. Labdanum and sandalwood smooth the edges of the animalic notes, creating a cohesive masculine profile. The overall impression is a thick resinous fur wrapped around a piece of ancient wood.
