Dark - 90mL Handmade Collector Bottle

ABOUT THE VESSEL:

The unique shape of the bottle was based on a series of flint knapped hand axes from Norfolk in the United Kingdom. Stone tools like these have been used by mankind for over a million years and are one of our oldest and most ubiquitous design objects.

Neandertal stoneware bottles are slip cast using these flint knapped hand axes, then fired and vitrified at over 1400 °C in the kiln. Neandertal glass bottles are created using state-of-the-art laser 3D scanning and printing technology.

Each 90ml stoneware bottles is uniquely numbered digitally using an NFC chip to ensure its provenance. Scan your bottle using the Neandertal App on iPhone or any NFC-enabled Android device to see more information.

Although the stoneware bottles are strong they are not as strong as glass and care should be taken to protect this art object.

ABOUT THE PERFUME:

The darker, more shadowed version of Neandertal. A scent of movement that challenges perfumery conventions.

The top note structure of Neandertal dark comprises leafy, aromatic, and textural sensations, symbolic of nature; trees, plants, flowers, and citrus fruits.

Initially, pepper berries and incense clash against this delicate foliage accord, pushing, pulling, and in time combining to create a transgressive and original iodine profile as Neandertal dark evolves.

Sandalwood and cedar provide a durable foundation for Neandertal dark. The inclusion of oud and leather adds unusual animalic depth and resinous shadow.

Earthy rhizome materials reintroduce the familiar green facets in a darker manner. An accord comprising vetiver, patchouli, and musk is offset against amber bringing both vibrancy and richness to Neandertal dark.
