Neandertal LIGHT eau de parfum

Light by niche perfume house Neandertal is a 2018 release from perfumer Chris Maurice. 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" through perfumery and olfactory experience. Light has an aromatic profile of aromatic, metallic, woody, amber, mineral, animalic, green, ozonic, fresh spicy, and balsamic accords.

Top Notes

From the brand:

"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 mystery, this fragrance captures a suspended snapshot in time."
