Stands out
Wolle was known to be a retired perfumer. Only very rarely did he accept commissioned work; usually the monthly early pension, together with additional income, was enough for the crate of beer in the morning and for one in the afternoon. In the evening there was only schnapps. So one day Wolle received a request he couldn't refuse. He should create the new Neandertal, was allowed to include his leather. This promised to be exciting and full of beer, especially since our hero felt a certain bond. Wolle immediately felt kissed by his muse, which, however, earned him a ban from the pub. The lady next to him was by no means acquainted with him and felt "slightly" uncomfortable by Wolle's wet advances. Not for nothing one called wool in the Herne lady world also the Schlabberschnäuzchen.

Anyway, he should compose something atypical, the predecessors were all quite woody and grassy. Here wanted to devote themselves thematically to the leather loincloth. And so Wolle decided to let Them start slightly leathery. In doing so, he rubbed his worn-out and still pale leather-smelling pants with carrot seeds he accidentally acquired at the hardware store. The result was a rather dry scent that gave the leather a leisurely note. The iris provided dry, slightly powdery facets. Rarely does anything sweet radiate, which on closer inspection is the grapefruit, which has been robbed of its sour notes. There remains a kind of fructose.

Wool laughed to himself. If he had already disposed of the vegetables here, there would be no such thing at lunch. However, he quickly realized that the leather thing was not a good idea. He needed the pants, after all, if he didn't want to risk a charge of causing a public nuisance for the umpteenth time. So he had the iris blasted so hard that the leather was forgotten under all that dry powder.

To keep this from getting too wild, Wool plucked a few magnolias from the bed and poured in 4711, he needed neroli. These presented themselves for a few minutes after an hour or two, then went back to being dry and reminiscent of parched carrots. Wolle briefly wondered if some kind of development would make sense. He quickly dismissed the idea, for the Neanderthals would have stigmatized such approaches as frowned upon. As a brother in spirit, he agreed.
Now it went to the base. Here Wool processed what was possible. Ambergris, ambrette seeds and most importantly styrax. Its heaviness combined with a touch of sweetness makes the fragrance in the background appear substantial. Finished, wool was satisfied.

In fact, this fragrance doesn't resemble the brand's other releases at all. But then again, it's called Them. The idea is nice but at the beginning we have too much iris, the base can not convince, evokes no moods. The approach with the nerol note in the heart is exciting, but this is hardly present. It seems rather as if the head would go directly into the base. So overall, a solid fragrance which has little character. Maybe the other three products were not better but they had something extraordinarily.

aromatic expression rendered silent.
“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else.” What perfume were they wearing? Kurt Vonnegut Jr. never really got into that in his satirical dystopian science-fiction short story “Harrison Bergeron,” but I suspect it was Them, by Neandertal, a fragrance distilled to its most minimal, stripped-down DNA. A radical exercise in simplicity, a deliberate erasure of complexity. It’s very essence, a complete and total absence. A void, a vacuum, a nothingness. Olfactory egalitarianism in a bottle, where no note dominates, not a single note is even discernable. Wear it not to make a statement, but to embrace the scent of unadorned equilibrium—a radical olfactory utopia where no note rises above the others, and every aromatic expression is rendered equally silent.

living leather
leather as warm, still-living flesh. anointed in white-griege clay, dried roots and herbs, crusted mineral crystals, braids of seaweed. multifaceted woody and floral tones emerge, slip beneath, surface again, bringing different aspects of cleanliness and sweetness. an environment yet also alive, breathing. stays close to the skin but endures.

Them Neandertal
Them is my first Neanderthal, a combination of carrot seeds and iris, enriched with various floral and citrus facets (grapefruit, lavender, neroli, magnolia). It immediately declares the link with the Earth and its elements: the use of wood and brown algae evoke the imagination of an ancient river delta, where curious men pushed themselves to explore and observe the natural dynamics and then elaborate them into thoughts, cults, languages. A slightly brackish scent permeates the meanders, where fresh and salty waters meet, mixing with sediments, organic matter, floating trunks swollen with water and the scent of the vegetation that abounds on the fertile islets and on the hills behind, in a moment of blooms . But we do not feel the heaviness of the material on us, but rather a “material lightness” carried by the tidal breeze, which collects all the best perfumes and offers them to us, thousands of years later, as a witness, a legacy to be handed down and developed according to the language of the present and the future. It is an environmental perfume, wild, primordial and at the same time elegant and demonstrates that the first characteristic does not necessarily exclude the latter.
At the end the perfume took a leathery turn, blending softly with my skin. Great performances and originality.

Something about this is so compelling to me! The scent overall is clinical, it has the feeling of being almost antiseptic when first sprayed. Then the leather peaks through, not rough or raw, but strangely supportive. There's a calmness here, almost a trust, like of going to the doctor's office when you're sick and knowing that everything is clean and sterile.
