Description

Zoologist Macaque Fuji Apple Edition is a woody oriental fragrance launched in 2021, offering a fresh interpretation of the original Macaque. It opens with a bright, crisp Fuji apple note that quickly blends into a serene pine forest accord, creating a sense of calm and natural beauty. As it develops, the scent gains depth with the grounding presence of hinoki wood, myrrh, and olibanum, which lend an austere yet balanced incense-like quality. The dry down settles into a creamy sandalwood and oakmoss base, leaving a meditative and subtly resinous trail that feels both robust and approachable. This perfume is a new interpretation by perfumer Mackenzie Reilly.
