Neandertal Light

Neandertal Light is a highly distinctive, avant-garde fragrance that sets itself apart with a cold, metallic, and green profile. The opening features a sharp, icy burst of galbanum, violet leaf, and hinoki wood, creating a clean, green-tinged intensity that feels like stepping into a cold industrial greenhouse. This transforms into a layered, chameleon-like development where metallic and animalic notes blend with patchouli, ambergris, and musk, forming a scent that is both wild and refined. It feels deeply personal and immersive, evoking sensations of caves, rusted metal, and raw organic textures, yet leaves a lasting impression on skin, with good projection and longevity that holds for hours. The perfume is clearly unisex in intent but leans strongly masculine in character due to its bold animalic, woody, and metallic facets. It suits day wear, particularly in warmer seasons where its cool intensity avoids heaviness. Fans of niche, conceptual perfumes that embrace complexity and challenge the conventional will appreciate its originality and depth. However, its aggressive metallic sharpness and animalic core make it a more polarizing scent — not for everyone, especially those new to experimental fragrances or sensitive to sharp, industrial notes.
