What does Macaque Yuzu Edition smell like?

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate. Spring is the most recommended season, followed by fall and summer, while winter gets little support. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though it is classed as unisex.

The top notes of mandarin orange, juniper berry and Japanese yuzu open bright and citrusy. Towards the heart, myrrh and hinoki wood add a smoky, resinous depth. New Caledonian sandalwood, frankincense absolute and oakmoss absolute leave a woody, green base.
