Beck Skugall is a name that, for connoisseurs of niche perfumery, evokes the pure poetry of the East. He is not simply a perfumer, but a true guardian of ancient olfactory traditions, founder of the brand Saarti and co-creator of the projects The Lost Perfumer.
His journey into the world of fragrances began far from the perfume laboratories of Grasse. Beck is self-taught, guided by the temples of Angkor Wat, the bustling markets of Delhi, and the quiet tea gardens of Ceylon. He didn't just collect ingredients—he absorbed the atmosphere of places, later transforming that essence into exquisite compositions.
Beck's main creation is the brand Saarti, whose name echoes a Sanskrit chord and the breath of the jungle. In collaboration with The Lost Perfumer, he created fragrances that became a revelation for fans of oud-like and resinous compositions. A special place belongs to Oudh Khmer—an homage to Cambodian agarwood, still considered one of the master's most realistic works.
Beck Skugall's signature style is the skillful combination of dense, almost tangible woody notes with a transparent floral sweetness. He works masterfully with frankincense, opoponax, black pepper, and, of course, oud. There is no aggression in his fragrances—only meditative depth and the atmosphere of ancient rituals.
Among his most notable works are Saarti - Sarí—an exquisite spicy flower, Saarti - Temple—the coolness of stone sanctuary walls, and The Lost Perfumer - Metta—the olfactory embodiment of Buddhist kindness. Equally popular are Saarti - Menaka, Saarti - Metta, Saarti - Black Champa, Saarti - Song Saa, Saarti - Bopha, Saarti - Nāga, and Saarti - Sundari. Each of these fragrances is a separate chapter in an olfactory journey.
The community highly appreciates Beck's work for its authenticity and ability to transport one to another world. Many note that his perfumes are not just fragrances, but a traveler's personal diary. Scents like Nāga and Sundari receive rave reviews for their magical atmosphere and unique character.
If you are looking for fragrances that resonate like an ancient mantra and tell stories of faraway lands, look no further than the works of Beck Skugall. Each bottle is an invitation to a journey through the most intimate corners of Asia, where tradition meets modern perfume culture.
