Maksim Perfume Bestia Sacra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Maxim Bortnikov. Bestia Sacra opens with Bergamot and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Musk, Civet, and Castoreum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Maksim Perfume's Bestia Sacra carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Bestia Sacra is a dark, animalic incense. Frankincense and myrrh meet castoreum, civet and cypriol over oakmoss and labdanum. It is raw, resinous and not for beginners, but fans of heavy, old-school profiles will find plenty here.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Bestia Sacra opens with frankincense and bergamot, a bright, smoky lift. The heart is the point: castoreum, civet, myrrh, musk, opoponax and cypriol (nagarmotha) give a thick, animalic and resinous core. The base of oakmoss, benzoin, sandalwood and labdanum adds earthy, balsamic depth. Maxim Bortnikov is the credited perfumer. It is a dark, resinous, animal incense scent that is bold and mysterious.
