Maksim Bestia Sacra | Eau de Parfum

In stock and shipping now.

Incense and shadow, skin and smoke.

Italian bergamot and a pair of frankincenses, serrata and boswellia sacra, open resinous and searing. Myrrh and opoponax build a molten resin core and then the animalic chorus arrives on musk, castoreum and civet with nagarmotha underneath, and Indian sandalwood, oakmoss, benzoin and labdanum close it warm and balsamic.

Perfumed by: Maxim Bortnikov

Released: 2025

KSI Take: Castoreum and civet together is a combination most houses stopped attempting decades ago, and the two frankincenses give the opening a sacred brightness that makes the filth underneath land harder. This is the least wearable thing the house makes and that is the point, so anyone who wants to smell clean should start elsewhere. Cold nights, and go light on the sprays.
