EDTUnisex
The Story
Vinyl is a bold, synthetic fragrance that captures the smell of a freshly opened record sleeve. It opens with a sharp, metallic aldehydic blast, then settles into a heart of vinyl and plastic notes that are surprisingly wearable. The base is a clean, musky ambrette and woody cedar, making it a true avant-garde classic.
