Neandertal Them vs Squid

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.

Squid is a polarizing niche fragrance that successfully delivers on its oceanic, briny concept, but doesn't work well on all skin types—some find it transforms into unpleasant suntan lotion. Community consensus is mixed, with strong musk presence being a point of contention for those seeking alternatives without it.
