Description

Zoologist's Macaque Yuzu Edition opens with a bright, sparkling burst of yuzu and mandarin, immediately setting a refreshing and invigorating tone. This vibrant citrus quickly intertwines with the aromatic, almost coniferous scent of juniper berries, leading into a heart of warm, resinous hinoki wood and myrrh, balanced by labdanum. As it dries down, the fragrance settles into a serene, meditative base of olibanum, creamy sandalwood, and earthy oakmoss, creating a sophisticated woody incense experience with a subtle sweetness. It evokes the feeling of a tranquil Japanese forest, with moments of playful lightness and deep, contemplative calm. Perfumer: Mackenzie Reilly
