Light by Neandertal concentrates on the present. It’s an expansive and radiant creation. It is linear and harmoniously structured at the same time.
Inspired by nature in all its authenticity, Light is composed of hinoki oil and green notes. Light is transparent and mineral, an olfactory still-life of nature. Light is a perfume that intrigues and it’s hard to resist. The metal accord in combination with iris gives Light a soft glare. Nuances of leather and amber give the fragrance a magnetic and powerful presence. Light is a perfume that is both minimalistic and mysterious.
Light is available in a 30ml glass bottle and in a 90ml collectible exclusive porcelain bottle, handmade by founder and artist Kentaro Yamada. Each of these handmade porcelain bottles is digitally numbered with a NFC chip as to guarantee its origin. Scan your bottle with the Neandertal app on your iPhone or NFC compatible Android device.

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.
