Sacred Scarab in a small glass spray vial
This is Zoologist Sacred Scarab, a perfume by Zoologist, offered here as a sample. Its notes are not in our files, and we would rather say so than fill the gap. Skin, weather and habit change how any perfume comes across, and a sample shows you your version of it. Notice how close it stays to the skin and how much of it others pick up.

On the skin
There is no pyramid on this page for Zoologist Sacred Scarab, because none is on record in our data. What it does on skin is for you to find out. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine.
On request means we do not have Zoologist Sacred Scarab ready to decant at this moment. Your message through the form on this page tells us there is interest; we promise no date. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.
The sample is made by hand: Zoologist Sacred Scarab goes from the original bottle into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, which we then label. The vial closes tightly and fits in a pocket or bag, so you can test it wherever your day goes.
Testing it
There is no recorded season for Sacred Scarab. Begin on an ordinary day and take it from there. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week.
We hold no data on who Sacred Scarab is meant for, so we do not label it. Collectors use decants to explore widely without filling a shelf. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
Choosing a bottle unsmelled is a gamble, and a decant takes the gamble out of it. The decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. Zoologist is not involved, and it is not an official brand sample.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of Zoologist Sacred Scarab and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for Zoologist Sacred Scarab, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Yes, and it helps. Wear one perfume per day, or one per arm at most, so the scents do not blur. Short notes after each wearing make the choice easier.
The brand
Zoologist names every perfume after an animal and gives each one to a different perfumer, whose name is printed on the box. Victor Wong founded the house in Toronto in 2013, and he is frank about the result: the brand calls its range creative, artistic and strong, not mass-appeal, and does not recommend buying a full bottle without trying a sample first. A 10 ml decant lets you find out whether Bee, Squid or Tyrannosaurus Rex is an animal you can live with.

I really appreciate that I found a shop that has a wide range of authentic perfumes,fast delivery,great communication and very good prices. Thanks for everything!
Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
