Our take

Vinyl opens with a bright citrus pop that is gone almost as quickly as the needle hits the record, leaving behind the sweet, syrupy fizz of Coca Cola cut with a sharp whiskey note. The middle is where this fragrance finds its voice, a sticky, boozy blend of tobacco and heliotrope that feels less like a night out and more like the last slow sip of a rum and cola at 2 a.m. on a sticky bar floor. The base settles into a warm vanilla amber with cedar and patchouli, slightly powdery, sweet but not cloying. Its overall character is a smoky, sweet barroom memory trapped in a vinyl sleeve, synthetic in the best way, like a pop song that knows it is too overproduced to be real but still makes you tap your foot.

With a longevity just under four hours and moderate sillage, it hovers close to the skin after the first hour. It wears best in deep fall and winter, leaning heavily toward nighttime. This one suits anyone who enjoys a cozy, sweet gourmand with a rough edge, think leather jackets and cherry cola. Skip it if you want fresh, airy, or complex natural blends. The Coca Cola note is fun but it never fully sheds its artificial soda fizz, and the sweetness can wear thin on a warm day. For a late night record session or a cold evening spent indoors, Vinyl plays just the right tune.
