dark Eau De Parfum (30ml)

Neandertal ‘dark’ perfume is a collaboration between artist Kentaro Yamada and perfumer Euan McCall—an artistic response to ontological questions and the history of mankind.

Each bottle shape originates from a real flint-knapped stone from Norfolk, UK. Flint knapping was a technology developed by mankind over a million years and it is arguably the oldest technological and design object used by mankind. The glass bottles are created using laser 3D scanning and printing technology.

30ml / 1 fluid oz

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
