In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Reviews →

Agar Wood by Vinci brings a dry, smoky attitude to masculine woody scents. Built around a green, leafy cannabis opening and a dark, resinous base, it fits perfectly in cold weather. It is a structured perfume for winter nights, designed for those who prefer unrefined, earthy notes over clean office scents.
