Sacred Scarab vs Squid

The r/fragrance community views Sacred Scarab and Zoologist Perfumes very positively, praising their bold, art-driven approach and strong sales performance. However, limited availability and niche appeal restrict their audience, with some noting production capacity issues despite high demand.

Squid is a polarizing niche fragrance that successfully delivers on its oceanic, briny concept, but doesn't work well on all skin types—some find it transforms into unpleasant suntan lotion. Community consensus is mixed, with strong musk presence being a point of contention for those seeking alternatives without it.
