About Neandertal ‘dark’
A scent of movement that challenges perfumery conventions. Top notes comprise of leafy, aromatic and textural sensations, symbolic of nature; trees, plants, flowers and citrus fruits.
Initially, pepper berries and incense clash against this delicate foliage accord, pushing, pulling and in time combining to create a transgressive and original iodine profile as the scent evolves.
Sandalwood and cedar provide a durable foundation and the inclusion of oud and leather adds unusual animalic depth and resinous shadow.
Earthy rhizome materials reintroduce the familiar green facets in a darker manner. An accord comprising vetiver, patchouli and musk is offset against amber, bringing both vibrancy and richness.
Top note: Foliage, ginger, pink pepper, grapefruit, pine
Heart note: Incense, geranium, caraway, sea kelp
Base note: Vetiver, patchouli, oud, amber, musk, leather, sandalwood, tobacco, labdanum
