Neandertal

Neandertal is an independent, conceptual fragrance brand launched by Kentaro Yamada in 2017 during London's Frieze Art Week. Neandertal is an artistic response to challenging the status quo and humanity’s innately egocentric view of the universe and our place in it. As a first step in this exploration, artist and founder Kentaro Yamada created Neandertal perfume as a way to explore the analogies between the lingering echoes of our past and that of olfactory resonance. The results are contemporary, highly original, and experimental fragrance structures, free from conventional and traditional perfumery standard.
