Fragrance / 2018Neandertal Light by Neandertal is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Neandertal Light was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Chris Maurice. Top notes are Hinoki Wood, Violet Leaf, Galbanum and Coriander; middle notes are Metallic notes and Orris Root; base notes are Ambergris, Leather, Musk, Patchouli and Cedar. "Neandertal light™ is in stark contrast to Neandertal dark, a journey which explores concepts of olfactory dissonance. Radiant and expansive Neandertal light concentrates on the present and as such, possesses a linear and harmonious structure. Hinoki oil is expanded with muted green notes creating a horizontal landscape, an olfactory still-life representation of nature. The binding quality of orris gives Neandertal light rigidity, form and cohesiveness within the structure. This binding quality produces a powerful resulting force, encapsulating time and the space around us. Leather and ambergris add unparalleled natural beauty and familiarity, displaying both power and magnetism. A contemporary portrait of the Neandertal’s mystery, this fragrance captures a suspended snapshot in time.Each bottle is handmade by the artist Kentaro Yamada." - a note from the brand.
