Macaque Yuzu Edition by Zoologist Perfumes, launched in 2021 and crafted by Mackenzie Reilly, is an intriguing blend that captures the essence of the animal kingdom's distinctive scents. The fragrance opens with a bright, zesty yuzu note that contrasts beautifully with the warm spices of juniper berries and mandarin orange. As it settles into its heart, hinoki wood and myrrh bring a woody depth, while labdanum and olibanum add a rich balsamic touch. The base notes of sandalwood and oakmoss create an earthy, grounding finish that resonates with the brand’s fascination with nature.
