Through his olfactory creation, perfumer Kentaro Yamada invites us to reflect on our existence, on the History of being and on the modern Man of today. This questioning of human history begins with fresh notes of bergamot, pink berries, elemi, eucalyptus, orange and black pepper. Such is the perfumer's desire to retrace the different rites and cultures, thanks to cardamom, leather, geranium and rose colliding. A perfume of the past with a contemporary acidulous and green woody touch, balanced by deeper tones of nutmeg, oud, sandalwood and vetiver. A return to the neanderthal era, where all existential questions arise.
Originally from Fukuoka, Japan, the London-based artist Kentaro Yamada raises many questions about human history, the past and the purpose of being, while maintaining an optimistic view of the creator. He has teamed up with perfumer Euan McCall to create disruptive fragrances in ceramic bottles reminiscent of Neanderthal axe-cut flint. Produced using 3D laser scanning and printing technology, the bottles pay homage to the DNA of this civilization that disappeared 50,000 years ago and is still alive within us.
