What does Vinyle smell like?

It opens with aniseed, pink pepper and bergamot. In the heart, myrrh, immortelle absolute and opoponax add a resinous depth. Vanilla dominates the base, with styrax and Glycyrrhiza glabra leading it into a woody, powdery, creamy sweetness.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it suits evenings, leisure time and nights out. Voters are split between reading it as feminine and masculine. Moresque Seta and Initio Psychedelic Love have a close profile.
