Of all four Neandertal fragrances, Neandertal Dark is the more shadowed, darker version. Inspired by the Neanderthaler’s natural habitat. Strong and silent, Dark challenges all conventions in perfumery.
This fragrance centers around plants, flowers, and trees. It is aromatic, leafy, and creates an almost tangible sensation. Pink pepper, ginger, and pine energize you as you journey on to the surprising heart of Dark. There you will find incense, geranium, and caraway seed. The more animalic touch in the base is a beautiful result of vetiver, oudh, leathery notes, and patchouli. On your skin is where Dark is truly working the magic; Your skin but better!
The glass bottle was made with the use of 3D printing techniques, resulting in a truly unique design.

Neandertal was founded by the Japanese artist Kentaro Yamada in 2018. His love for design makes this unique brand a strong visual character, which is reflected in the powerful design language of the brand. Yamada started a creative collaboration with perfumers and together they research how perfumes can make the echoes of our past tangible. The results are contemporary, highly original, and experimental fragrance structures, free from conventional and traditional perfume standards.
Leather
Discover the multiple facets of leather in perfumes. Think of the smell of a leather jacket, a pair of suede shoes, the inside of a leather bag, or an old Chesterfield… Leather gives a luxurious, seductive and elegant touch to the fragrance. But it is also dark, robust and slightly animalic which makes this smell mysteriously tantalizing.
