SmokyWhat does Neandertal Us smell like?
It opens with black pepper, pink pepper and eucalyptus, a cool, sharp spice, lightly brightened by bergamot and orange. In the heart, geranium, frankincense and rose come forward, while vetiver, sandalwood, labdanum and oud build a resinous, smoky base.
Most voters recommend it for autumn and winter, and it leans towards leisure, evening and nights out. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters read it as masculine, though it remains unisex. Amouage Epic Man and Zoologist Rhinoceros (2014) have a close profile.
