Neandertal® is a conceptual perfume that transcends time and space.
The two unisex fragrances are the speculative embodiment of the now extinct human; Neandertal. Beings that live on within our DNA. Neandertal dark™ and Neandertal light™ offer a sophisticated and complex mixture of scents with materials natural to their environments. The perfume contains fresher tones blended with innovative aromatic materials, distillates and natural isolates compounding into a mixture of olfactory palettes wearable by today’s modern humans.
“Neandertal dark is a bit more the strong, silent type than Neandertal light, and pretty satisfying. Perfumer did a craggily poetic job of composing these fragrances in a North European stone, lichen, and sea-spray idiom.”

“Perfumer did the logical thing with the marine animalic base of dark and slapped a huge rose on top, in the grand Arab manner, to give a high-contrast and altogether beautiful composition reminiscent of Edouard Fléchier’s Une Rose (Frédéric Malle, 2003) but with less woody-amber.”
