Launched: 2004 by John Varvatos.
The John Varvatos fragrance, the original in the John Varvatos fragrance collection, brings together notes that are both familiar and unique.
Conceived by the designer himself, the fragrance conveys the ideals of the John Varvatos lifestyle. It exudes confidence, elegance and masculinity with the perfect touch of softness and ease to create a sense of intimacy. From the introduction to the finale, the fragrance is an alluring woody oriental blend of spices, woods and a hint of sweetness. Boasting several unique high perfumery ingredients, the John Varvatos scent caters to the man who values personal style and poise.
Modern, bold, and sophisticated, this scent evokes a sensuous yet relaxed feeling. As elegant and masculine as it is rich and intriguing, its subtle power conveys the refinement and attention to detail so clearly present in each John Varvatos creation.
Inspired by the masculinity, luxury, and texture of the Varvatos’ fashion collection, the fragrance bottle boasts these same ideals. Similar to the designer’s clothing, the bottle is influenced both by tradition the curved shoulder of the glass, as well as by modernity the sleek leather, dramatic color, and chrome accents. These elements also give the bottle a textural element mixing the softness of the leather with the slickness of the glass and chrome.
The intricate detail on the cap and leather paired with the quality glass make this bottle a symbol of opulence and style symbolic of the ideals on which John Varvatos has built his brand.
Fragrance Notes:
Top Notes: West Indian Tamarind Tree Leaves and smooth Medjool Date Fruit, highlighted by a masculine accent of toning and bracing Mediterranean Herbs.
Middle Notes: An unexpected trio of aromatics encompasses the fragrances’ core. Coriander Seed Templar brings a balanced blend of spicy and fresh while Clary Sage Flower provides hints of tobacco and sage leaves. A light floral-rosy freshness develops into a warm, ambery afterthought, and Indian Ajowan rounds off the mid note with the scent of thyme.
Base Notes: Rich wood textures of balsamic, amber, and leather create a sensuous foundation. Accented with Eaglewood and Auramber, the background creates a sense of mystery, power and lift. A sleek black leather nuance weaves throughout, deepening the accord and accenting the mystery, only to finish with the sophistication of soft sandalwood, sensuous balsams and a touch of vanilla.
