Begining

Neandertal explores fundamental existential questions like, “Where do we come from?” and “Where are we going?” by attempting to understand the human experience from outside ourselves.

Neandertal is an artistic response to challenging the status quo and humanity's innately egocentric view of the universe and our place in it.

As a first step in this exploration, artist and founder Kentaro Yamada created Neandertal perfume as a way to explore the analogies between the lingering echoes of our past and that of olfactory resonance. The results are contemporary, highly original, and experimental fragrance structures, free from conventional and traditional perfumery standards.

Neandertal

It is believed that Neandertals lived in Eurasia for over 450,000 years, nearly 5 times longer than Homo Sapiens. Recent scientific discoveries have also revealed that Neandertals were sophisticated beings who mastered language, used fire, and created cave art well before our own arrival in the region.

However, 50,000 years after we settled alongside them, Neandertals had all but disappeared, leaving much speculation about their ultimate demise. This pair of fragrances take us on an olfactory journey deep into humanity's past giving voice to a lost civilisation whose DNA lives on today only through ourselves, while also celebrating the future they were never able to see.
