Neandertal Them
feminine
Created by Euan McCall
Neandertal Them by Neandertal is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Neandertal Them was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Euan McCall. Top notes are Carrot Seeds, Seaweed, Iris, Grapefruit and Lavender; middle notes are Hinoki, Neroli and Magnolia; base notes are Ambergris, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Sandalwood, Styrax and Musk. Together Neandertal us and them form a visual and conceptual pair that elicits a thought-provoking, olfactory experience which speaks to our ancestral sense of belonging but that also addresses the tension created by one of mankind’s oldest and simplest understandings of identity. An ageless notion, in a constant state of flux, that we engage with everyday. It is an issue that carries as much weight today as it has throughout human history. Neandertal Them™ echoes a message from a time we have not yet experienced. It is a portrait of an optimistic future full of technological advances, hinting at an improved human life and the progress of generations to come. Unconventional molecular materials, transparent woods and fresh, floral top notes combine seamlessly with natural essences of ambergris and sea kelp to create a clean and captivating fragrance that ignites our optimistic imagination in this era of uncertainty.

/ 10 community score
Neandertal fragrances receive praise for their distinctive, experimental character and artistic vision that delivers a memorable olfactory experience. However, the community consensus acknowledges significant longevity and projection issues that vary by individual skin chemistry, making them better suited for close-proximity wear rather than situations requiring strong all-day performance.
