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 yuzu 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.

Tangy yuzu and incense — sleek, precise, and atmospheric. Modern incense at its finest.

Editor's Notes

Macaque (Yuzu) is a gloriously modern incense perfume. It is sleek and precise and floats in atmospheric space, leaving a haunting presence. Tangy and bitter yuzu citrus opens this fragrance, its ascendent sharpness uniting with an overdose of incense materials – including the bright, astringent, and citric shape of myrrh alongside a vast coating of purifying and clean olibanum. Macaque (Yuzu) is finely textured and brilliant, faint intersections of citrus and resin cross over a forest of trees, which impart structure and gravity to such an atmospheric scent. It celebrates hinoki wood, a Japanese cypress tree with innately green and citrusy facets – instilling a sense of stillness. This is bolstered with juniper berry, sandalwood, and oakmoss, deepening the arboreal connotations as they furnish this forest of evergreens. No less, Macaque (Yuzu) is airy – its primary incense accord swings through the trees with ease, infusing these woody notes so they become nearly imperceptible, buoyant, and radiant. With this fragrance, the wearer disappears into an aromatic cloud – Macaque (Yuzu) is played at the ideal volume: meditatively quiet, full of dimension, and emphatic in all the right places. Masterful.
