Neandertal Neandertal Dark | 2ml Sample

Ginger and grapefruit crack open onto salt, oud and leather.

Ginger, grapefruit and pink pepper open sharp and a little bitter before geranium, incense and a briny seaweed note turn it strange and mineral. Leather, oud, labdanum and patchouli anchor a long, dark, resinous drydown.

Perfumed by: Euan McCall

KSI Take: This is a dense, animalic woody fragrance built around an unusual iodine like seaweed accord, and it does not have much of an independent review trail yet to confirm how it performs over a full day. Judging from the note list, expect a cold weather, evening scent for people who want something strange and a little confrontational rather than easy or crowd pleasing, with a base heavy enough to suggest good longevity.
