Macaque Fuji Apple Edition Zoologist

Macaque Fuji Apple Edition from Zoologist Perfumes presents a sweet, fruity, and woody aroma that leans heavily into aromatic, green, and earthy accords, with a noticeable dominant presence of Hinoki wood and olibanum. The apple note is described as round and juicy—sweeter and less green than in other Zoologist releases—and appears in the top, though it tends to fade quickly, giving way to woody and resinous depths. The drydown reveals a deep, warm layer of labdanum, oakmoss, and sandalwood, lending a subtly animalic yet polished character. It's widely appreciated as a fresh, wearable scent with moderate sillage, potentially ideal as a candle or for cooler seasons, though it’s generally considered more suited for daytime wear. Many find it appealing as a fragrance that balances sweetness with earthiness, reminiscent of a high-quality woody resin or fresh candle. However, some users note that the apple is mild or quickly lost, and a few describe it as evoking cleaning products or soapy notes—particularly at the front—though these perceptions are not consistent across all users.
