Zoologist Perfumes Macaque Fuji Apple Edition is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Mackenzie Reilly. Macaque Fuji Apple Edition opens with Frankincense, Juniper, and Apple, settles into a heart of Labdanum, Myrrh, and Hinoki Wood, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Oakmoss. Zoologist Perfumes's Macaque Fuji Apple Edition carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, unique, and not quite what the name suggests. Don't go in expecting a straightforward apple, this is a deep dive into an aromatic, woody forest that some will adore and others will find challenging.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Macaque Fuji Apple Edition opens with a surprising hit of frankincense and juniper, creating a resinous, almost medicinal green freshness, while the apple note is more of a subtle, tart whisper than a juicy bite. As it settles, hinoki wood takes centre stage, lending a clean, slightly smoky, and distinctly Japanese forest vibe. The dry down is a comforting blend of creamy sandalwood and earthy oakmoss, with echoes of myrrh providing a contemplative depth.
