Great cinema! Or rather music?
for me,
Vinyl is an absolute wow-effect and the find of the half-year. The name may be deceptive: the fragrance doesn't actually have any hint of vinyl, records or plastic in it. It's not that direct. It's very differently direct ))
Instead, it tells a story about the times when people met in nightclubs and at concerts in the 70s to enjoy music (while drinking and smoking cigars/cigarettes).
For me, it is one of the best fragrances with a strong and long-lasting (!) whiskey note and a smoky dried plum that I particularly love.
The scent reminds me strongly of chocolates that I remember from my Soviet childhood. They consisted of a prune half soaked in alcohol and a small piece of walnut inside, and were covered in a thick layer of dark chocolate. During my childhood, these chocolates justified their sky-high price by being considered particularly fine and precious and almost impossible to obtain. I can count the times I was allowed to enjoy these chocolates as a child on one hand. And of course, for me, they were all moments of great childhood happiness and a successful childhood life ))
Back then as a child, I would never have wished for tobacco with these chocolates.
Now as an adult I think "too bad, I can't smell any tobacco". Instead, I'm served a strong black coffee on a wooden tray. Perhaps tobacco has disguised itself in this way? Be that as it may, the coffee and wood, as well as the smokiness, counteract the sweet strength of the whiskey and the spiciness of the prune and give the whole composition support, balance it out and keep it from slipping into the realm of "too much". The base gradually moves away from the dried fruit and becomes softer, more rounded and vanilla-like. Some of the alcoholic sweetness develops into a very light, subtle note of dill pickle water. It's as if you've already partied halfway through the night and it's starting to make no difference what you drink. The dill pickle water is extremely volatile and subtle, not at all distracting, but adds something special to the whole mixture.
The alcohol note is also very present in the base. But this is no longer a sweet smell of freshly poured high-grade alcohol, but is more like the haze of a pub where everyone has been drunk for some time and the volume of the conversations has been competing with the volume of the music for this "some time"))
On one hand, Vinyl is without a doubt a direct gourmand. A wonderfully beautiful, spicy one, with lots of dried fruit and even more alcohol. And last but not least: with very good persistence / sillage.
on the other hand, if you think about its name and don't know the story of its inspiration, you could easily be tempted to interpret the directness of this fragrance in a completely different direction.
