Neandertal Is Eau De Parfum

Neandertal is™ and was™ were created from the same brief—one crafted by master perfumers, the other generated by cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

is™ is the brighter of the duo: a scent reminiscent of the flesh of a synthetic fruit that does not yet exist and is impossible to define. The fragrance opens with the fresh, sweet pulp of stone fruit and a gourmand note of chocolate, all wrapped in a clean, chalky veil with a subtle metallic edge.

Neandertal created this compelling and unique fragrance duo to complement our conceptual line, one that poses fundamental questions, with a particular focus on the future of our species and our evolving relationship with synthetic life.

Neandertal is a conceptual fragrance brand founded by Japanese artist Kentaro Yamada, who is based in London. The brand creates experimental scent compositions that challenge traditional perfumery norms while inviting reflection on humanity’s origins and future.

Inspired by both the echoes of our prehistoric past and the mysteries of human existence, Neandertal fragrances are designed as artistic expressions with highly original structures.

Notably, each bottle is handmade by Yamada himself, underscoring the brand’s commitment to creative craftsmanship.
