was – Eau de Parfum – Sample
Spicy · Woodyincl. VAT. Shipping costs will be calculated at checkout
Lieferzeit 4-7 Werktage
was™ is an olfactory journey into the past – like an ancient fragment, barely legible with time. The scent opens with warm, woody and spicy notes before unfolding into an unexpected softness of iris. This layered composition is carried by Diviniris, a novel molecule that contrasts the familiar textures of iris and wood in an unusual way. The base of amber and clove appears smooth and gentle at first, yet is invigorated by the bitter freshness of geranium and yerba mate.
Together with is™, was™ forms a fragrance duo that expands Neandertal’s conceptual line. This pairing engages with fundamental questions about humanity – particularly where we are headed as a species in a world that feels increasingly synthetic. One of the two scents was created by humans, the other by artificial intelligence. Deliberately, it remains undisclosed which is which – inviting an open-minded exploration and a personal dialogue with the blurred boundaries between nature, technology, and identity.

Your Questions – Our Answers
Still have a question about our perfume samples? You might find exactly the answer you’re looking for right here. 😉
Is there a sample available for every fragrance?
Yes – we offer a sample of every fragrance in our range, as long as it’s not sold out. If you’d like to explore a whole brand, our Discovery Sets usually bring together some of its most important fragrances in one set.
Is the fragrance in the sample the same as in the original bottle?
Our fragrance samples are decants of 100% original perfumes. Each fragrance is carefully filled directly from the brand’s original bottle into a convenient spray vial. So you’re testing the exact same fragrance you’ll find in the full-size bottle.
How many ml are in each sample?
Each sample you order from us contains at least 1.5ml of fragrance. The glass vial itself holds 3ml, which is why it won’t be filled all the way to the top. So no worries – your 1.5ml are definitely in there.
Why are my fragrance samples filled to different levels?
Since we fill every sample by hand, the fill level may vary slightly from one vial to another. From time to time, we also include a complimentary fragrance sample with your order. These are meant as a little extra to discover something new and therefore contain slightly less than our regular 1.5 mlsamples.
Are the fragrance name and ingredients listed on the sample?
The fragrance name and brand are listed on every sample. If you’d like to learn more about the ingredients, you can find them on the relevant product page in our online shop or on your invoice.
