Composed by Euan McCall
The future here doesn't smell of metal and smoke, but of transparent wood, sea algae, and flowers that don't yet have a name. NEANDERTAL Them™ sends a message from a time we haven't experienced, optimistic despite the uncertainty of the present.
Grapefruit, lavender, and carrot seed open the composition fresh, aromatic, and rooty. Sea algae introduces salty greenery, while iris and neroli provide a clean, smooth floral surface.
Euan McCall combines unconventional molecular materials with natural essences. The portrait of technological advancement is not a cold dystopia, but a possibility for a better human life and for generations that will continue where we left off.
Hinoki, magnolia, and sandalwood, ambrette, and styrax create an airy woody heart. Musk and natural amber in the base add bodily and marine warmth without closing the composition.
On the skin, the citrus clarity gradually transforms into clean, mineral wood. If you're looking for a futuristic perfume full of cold metals or a very sweet vision of progress, Them™ will be more subtle and organically unusual for you.
Towards the end, hinoki remains with sea algae and ambrette, like a message from future humans written on a piece of wood that drifted back through time.
