Against the backdrop of a mountainous terrain, two communities share a peaceful coexistence. Yet despite their proximity, the societies are distinctly unique. Macaques cavort among the trees, grasping with delight at nature’s bountiful pleasures. From the quiet solemnity of a nearby temple, their human neighbours regard them, coveting the monkeys’ playful abandon. The macaques are all but oblivious, sparing only the briefest of curious glances at the pensive faces below before surrendering once again to their carefree revels. Sweet notes of Fuji apple dance through a pine forest, welcoming you to Zoologist Macaque. Incense adds gravity with aromas of Hinoki woods and myrrh. The delicate balance between heavy and light results in an austere woody scent with mild hints of creamy sandalwood. Macaque is exuberance tempered by calm, sublimity buoyed by joy, a happy harmony of meditative bliss.

Apple reorchestrates the whole — hinoki, juniper, and sandalwood gain weight and warmth.

Editor's Notes

Macaque (Fuji Apple) demonstrates the impact of a single note – how a single change is enough to reorchestrate the effect of an entire perfume. The apple in this fragrance makes the perfume blush – translucent incense notes gain weight and fullness, and the woods in the base of Macaque (Fuji Apple) are emphasised, iterated of their solidity. This links up with juniper berry, a crisp aromatic note with a hard exterior and a softly textured inside, much like the dominant crisp, tangy, and perfectly rounded apple note. Cooling and sweet, Macaque (Fuji Apple) descends into a resinous and ambery base flushed in incense: it is surprisingly robust with a cheeky side – apples smash into the grand trunks of these pine-inflected hinoki trees, a melange of fruit skins and pulp, wood, smoke, and earth that balances vibrancy with measured astringency. The musky dry down of this fragrance is nuanced with flecks of colour, offering an intriguing display of olfactory textures long into wear.
