All John Varvatos bottles are unique works of art with emblematic bottle of sturdy glass construction and, in the case of this particular variant, a unique, leather design. It definitely stands out on a vanity or dressing table. John Varvatos was created by the perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Before becoming a perfumer, Flores-Roux studied biology and chemistry, which has given him a strong foundation in understanding how different ingredients and notes can be blended to create a harmonious fragrance. He has worked with many major fragrance houses and has created fragrances for a wide range of brands, including Calvin Klein, Jo Malone, and Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few. The top notes of John Varvatos are a blend of mediterranean herbs, which give the fragrance a fresh, aromatic start. The middle notes consist of oakmoss and jasmine, which add depth and complexity to the scent. The base notes are comprised of leather, amber, and sandalwood, which provide a woody, earthy finish that lingers on the skin. In addition to these main notes, the fragrance also contains a blend of other ingredients, such as bergamot, lemon, and black pepper, which contribute to the overall scent profile. Overall, the combination of these ingredients creates a rich, masculine fragrance that is both sophisticated and long-lasting. The mediterranean herbs and jasmine give the scent a fresh, floral edge, while the leather, amber, and sandalwood add depth and warmth. It is a complex fragrance that is sure to appeal to those who appreciate more sophisticated scents. One of the positives of John Varvatos is its versatility. It is a scent that can be worn by men of all ages, and is suitable for a variety of occasions. It is also a very sophisticated fragrance, making it perfect for those who want to make a statement or those who want to march to a different beat. Also, it is quite affordable. On the negative side, some may find the scent a bit too strong or overpowering. It is definitely not a subtle fragrance, and those who prefer more subtle scents may want to look elsewhere. Most people will find the woody, earthy scent of John Varvatos particularly well-suited for the cooler months of the fall and winter. The rich, warm notes of leather, amber, and sandalwood make it a perfect choice for those looking for a cozy, comforting scent to wear during these colder months. However, the fresh, aromatic top notes of mediterranean herbs and the floral middle notes of jasmine may make it a suitable choice for the spring and summer months as well. John Varvatos is the cousin-in-rehab to Yves Saint Laurent's La Nuit de L'homme. This fragrance also has a woody, earthy scent, with notes of cardamom, bergamot, and cedar. However, It is a bit more expensive than John Varvatos, but I personally find the price difference worthwhile as the YSL scent is much more sophisticated and indicative of higher quality ingredients. Overall, John Varvatos is a fantastic fragrance for men who are looking for a strong, masculine scent that is suitable for a variety of cold-weather occasions.
