What does Macaque Fuji Apple Edition smell like?

It opens with Fuji apple, juniper berry and frankincense, the apple's sweetness sitting on a resinous, spicy footing. In the heart, myrrh and hinoki wood pull it towards a woody, lightly smoky side. Oakmoss absolute, New Caledonian sandalwood and frankincense absolute leave a green, dry woodiness underneath.

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and autumn, with summer not far behind, and it is worn mostly for leisure and daily use. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits between the two. Zoologist Macaque Yuzu Edition and Buly Sumi Hinoki have a similar profile.
