Macaque

Blood mandarin and green apple snap open sharp and bright, grounded immediately by cool cedar—Macaque announces itself with citrus bite tempered by wood. The heart unfolds into jasmine tea's delicate warmth, honeyed sweetness, and the resinous incense of olibanum, while galbanum adds a herbaceous green edge and ylang-ylang blooms with creamy florality. Palisander rosewood threads through, lending a subtle spice. As the composition settles, cedarmoss and white oud emerge, their dry, slightly animalic character deepening into musk, while green tea's subtle astringency lingers against skin like the fading warmth of a ceramic cup held in the palm.
