In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Crash & Burn opens with a crisp, juicy mix of green apple, melon and black currant, then settles into soft florals over clean white musk, pale woods and amber. It reads fruity, fresh and slightly watery, with a smooth feminine finish that may suit someone who likes easy daytime scents more than dense, heavy perfumes.

Reviews →

Old Daddy Blues by Vinci brings an unusual mix of warm amber and salty marine notes to the table. Launched in 2024, this oriental fougere layers crisp mint and fresh melon over a base of coffee and woods. It is designed for men looking for a casual, breezy daytime signature that transitions easily into cozy evenings.
