Macaque (Yuzu Edition)
Macaque (Yuzu Edition) by Zoologist is an unisex extrait de parfum from 2021 in the niche price tier. It opens with yuzu, mandarin and juniper berry, moves into myrrh and hinoki and dries down to oakmoss, sandalwood and frankincense. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Yuzu Japanese citrus — like grapefruit and mandarin crossed. Crisp and clean.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Heart
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Hinoki Japanese cypress. Lemony, calm and spa-like.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
