Review of John Varvatos by Soliz262 409
I loved this smell so much i actually bought when i first smelled it. John Varvatos Cologne for Men by John Varvatos had that right mix of spice and wood that I was looking for.

Review of John Varvatos by Michael Slawski
John Varvatos' "Artisan" is for the man who sets himself apart from the pack. Its truly the leader, dominating all other mens fragrances with its clean wood, leather and spice sent. All the things a real man should smell like. My favorite for years was "Boucheron" now its John Varvatos

Review of John Varvatos by Olufemi A
My first contact with John Varvatos cologne was at the duty free shopping at Heathrow airport. I have never looked back since. This is my favorite cologne! Colleagues at work always ask me what is the name. I recommend it for a romantic outings.

Review of John Varvatos by Art Skiles
I bought John Varvatos because I smelled the bottle at a friends house and thought it smelled very nice, however when my bottle arrived and I tried it for the first time I was disappointed with the fragrance. It seemed to have more of a musk scent and less of a spicy scent than I had remebered. Let that be a lesson to me, I will have to actually test apply a fragrance before selecting it again. I did try it again to see if applying it to my clothing would be any different because I understand that some fragrances can have a significant reaction with your body chemistry, but still not a favorite for me and I won't be using it anymore.

Review of John Varvatos by Steve Eck
Trust me. This is a classic fragrance that will get you compliments, constantly. At this price it is a steal--try anywhere else and pay double or triple. I cannot tell you how pleased I am by the service, customer service and product! A+++ Thank you!

Review of John Varvatos by Susanne Christman
This scent is masculine, powerful and sexy. It has a strong tobacco note, but not the resulting smoke, that is accentuated by woods and spices. Medjul date in the top notes and vanilla in the base notes provide a balance to the tobacco and entire structure. Clary Sage, Corriander and Tamarind Leaves add spice while Eaglewood and Amber round out the base. Whomever wears this will smell like they have been sitting in the club of a prestigious men's society next to a humidor as they drink martinis.

This is a fabulous cologne. I bought this for my son and he loved it. Also, the selection at Perfume.com and the prices are great.

Review of John Varvatos by Dennis Schnak
John Varvatos is a very sexy fragrance. However, it is a bit too subtle. The fruit, leather and amber scents do not carry well and soon disappear. Maybe it's my body chemistry, but I'm a little disappointed in this scent.

Review of John Varvatos by S.R.
Received this as a gift from my girlfriend. She felt that the scent conveyed so many different things about the person who wears it: professional, intelligent, attractive, sexy, and powerful. She loves the scent... And what she likes, I like!

Review of John Varvatos by Ron
An excellent eau de toilette. Great smell. Guaranteed to turn woman on.

Review of John Varvatos by Majid Se
It is a good romantic perfume, but personally I think it is too leathery.

Review of John Varvatos by Scent Conoisseur
John Varvatos and I have an on-and-off love affair. At least I do with his fragrance. Some days I love this fragrance and others I absolutely cannot tolerate it. However, most people I know who own this fragrance deeply love it and it smells fantastic on them.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Sunny Patel
I love john varvatos, I really really love it. It has a manlier scent but smells great even on my wrists where I usually like to spray the tester bottle in the store. I absolutely adore this perfume and think that it is in my top 10 of all good perfumes for men. Get it.

Review of John Varvatos by Pravin Chandra
Modern, bold, and sophisticated, John Varvatos by John Varvatos is infused with 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 present in John Varvatos' creation. Notes include Medjool Date Fruit, Tamarind Tree Leaves, Coriander Seed Templar, Clary Sage Flower, Indian Ajowan, Auramber, Leather essence.

Review of John Varvatos by Sw Jo
Very different and unique scent indeed. This scent lures me into a relaxed state of mind. Can't in no way be overpowering and really is a signature scent. I haven't smelled this on anyone yet, so in my area it is undiscovered territory. The bottle is a plus and is square shaped indeed but that's from the frontal position. The package was black with the the top portion of it being silver. I want to give this some time before i rate it high but from my first week of wearing it, nothing short of being good.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Richard Cheeyou
this is a quite delicious fragrance for men. however, i really see it mostly as a fall and winter fragrance as it's a bit too much for the warmer summer months. it's fresh and clean but still maintains an exotic woody feel. another fragrance that i find similar to varvatos is paul smith london which is a bit more of a sweeter/boozey version with a hint of mint. all in all though, i really think varvatos is a better choice- not as in-your-face as the paul smith but still packs a punch. the body products in the line are also very good in quality and i would recommend them to prolong the scent throughout the day.

Review of John Varvatos by Nick Galvez
This one smells kind of generic to me. But nonetheless, it is a sophisticated kind of scent for going out. I can not for the life of me smell that leather that is supposed to be in there somewhere. I think it would be good for bar hopping, but not for a more formal event. Because tastes seem to vary by age and local: San Francisco, age 24.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Terry Chen
John varvatos by john varvatos is a great smelling cologne. The packaging is very nice, especially the box which is very elegant looking, perfect for a gift. The cologne smells great and lasts long as well. It is a great choice for an everyday cologne.

Review of John Varvatos by Kristi Kelley
I bought this for my son and my uncle and they both love it. It wears very well and lasts for hours.

Review of John Varvatos by Hakim Eristhee
I have been wearing this cologne for a very long time now. I do not wear it often but when I do everyone always notice. The scent is distinct and stands out i a crowd (in a good way). I love it, it is also not pricey so thats great. Also the little sized one os perfect for any man bag, lol.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Ish Jos
It has a distinct smell that I cannot describe. I do not think it is that sophisticated, and I don't think it's worth buying. It smells the same and it does not have a very pleasant smell. Some women go ga ga over this one, it is indeed 'romantic'-- not sticky sweet enough to pass for 'evening' or boring enough to pass for 'casual. ' Furthermore if the ladies in question have ever been clobbered by English Leather, Old Spice, or the rest of the redneck perversions one can still find at Sears, they'll dig it. The problem is the fruity flavor (somewhere between a prune a date and a fig ) that sticks to this one forever from top note to dry down. JV os very popular right now at Nordstrom's and other high end stores , so expect the hype to continue. Might want to give it a try if you sweat like a hog while tango dancing up close and your body chemistry somehow transforms it to the allegedly Russian Leather base; JV is unusual , tenacious and mercifully inoffensive but just not my cup of tea.

Review of John Varvatos by Nir Joshi
Rather masculine first attempt from the designer is very modern, unique, refined and up there with Chanel, Vera Wang, KC and Armani. Seems to bear a little similarity to Armani's Emporio Night. Very good first attempt from this designer is a bit unusual with its unique notes (the Russian leather in particular) but in general, a modern, refined and GQ sophisticated fragrance with a super attractive bottle design.

Review of John Varvatos by Jca 82
i give this 4 stars. i like the smell of it. i bought this for my daddy last christmas and he said he really like it. i think the smell is just right, not too strong and it stays long on your clothes or body. for me that's one of the important aspect i want in a perfume.
-
Review of John Varvatos by John Demi
Fresh cool smell. Lasts for a few hours before I have to reapply the cologne. Not my favorite cologne of all time, but I received it as a gift, but I still like to use it once in a while. I usually use this cologne for evening events and use lighter scents for the morning and afternoon. Not a bad cologne.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Annonymous Writter
John Varvatos is my all time number one favorite cologne that I own. Everytime I wear this cologne I get a gang of comments and people asking what it is. The girls love it, I love it, and its long lasting. This scent is very distinctive and masculine. Its soft but strong, and it has a tint of leather that gives it a boost of maturity. I highly recommend this cologne to anyone who wants to smell good and have a scent that not everybody and their dog owns. John Varvatos is number one.

Review of John Varvatos by Renee Miller
This is a very clean, masculine scent for day. There is no 'aftershave' thing going on with it, it's subtle but lasts. I love smelling this on my husband.

Review of John Varvatos by Bonnie Turner
I bough this as a holiday gift for my brother. He loves it as well as my sister in law. He wears it everyday.
-
Review of John Varvatos by John Van Cleave
I have been wearing this scent for months now. i really enjoy it because it smells really fresh and all night i feel clean because i can smell the cologne and that makes me feel like i just took a shower or just put it on. which makes my self esteem better because i know i am not offending someone with my scent. I really like this Scent by John Varvatos and i really am considering trying his other products.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Ryan O'connell
It smells like you stepped into the woods, nice refreshing scent. Lasts a long time too, put it on in the morning and still there at night.

Review of John Varvatos by George Chan
John varvatos by john varvatos is a good smelling cologne. It goes on nicely and last for hours. I have never gotten a complaint about it. everybody loves it. ive gotten compliments strictly because of my cologne i was wearing. It characterizes who i am because one day, i didnt put any on and a lot of people noticed. they asked me why i didnt smell like john varvatos. haha.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Adam Pyle
I really go back and forth on this fragrance. I'm not terribly fond of it most times, but not offended by it either. Maybe that just makes it average smelling in my mind. The important notes that I think I am least fond of are basenotes and are Vanilla and Black Leather. It's a decent fragrance that does actually smell much better on many other people I've noticed, but there are still far better woody, oriental scents out there if you're willing to look for them.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Meena Veras
I bought this for my son and he adores it. he loves the sleek bottle and all the compliments he gets from girls. He feels mature and much older in a good way. The smell is strong and manly. Very nice.

Review of John Varvatos by Nate Dogg
This is an okay scent for okay people. Not that you are going to be judged by the way you smell, oh wait... you are.
-
Review of John Varvatos by B. Pajaro
Varvatos is a unique, masculine scent that is only hampered by average sillage and lasting power. It has a leathery vanilla fragrance that is great upon application - but you probably won't get a great many compliments on it as it sticks close to the collar. It will stay in my rotation but I might have to up the dosage a little.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Sita Sreeram
This is my favorite scent. it is nice and classy, good for romantic nights with your girlfriend. It is strong, but not as overwhelming as some colognes are. However, I have found that it does not last as long as other colognes but maybe it is just me. It is my favorite cologne and I also really like his other ones too.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Ben Chan
This is an average cologne...I don't particularly like it. I've tried it and smelled it a few times while at perfume stores and it smells ok at first. However, once i apply it to my skin it seems too romantic for a day out...I would suggest using this if youre going out to a romantic dinner date with your wife or with your girlfriend. Doesnt work well with sweat either, so i wouldnt suggest doing any physical activities with this cologne on.

Review of John Varvatos by Evie Ma
When I first smelled it, I said “oh, this is something for a short bald fat greek guy!” Well, it’s actually much better than that, but you have to use it in moderation (otherwise – see above). It’s uniqueness is in the base note: leather. A faint whiff of it is fantastic, mature, responsible kind of smell (picture Pierce Brosnan). Now, why it’s marketed for the younger guys – that is totally beyond me. You’ve got to be at least 30 to channel Thomas Crown!
-
Review of John Varvatos by Steve Foster
Yes, this will work just about anytime of day. The most noticeable scent in this is peppery leather. My girlfriend doesn't care for it too much, says it makes her sneeze/burns her nose, but I myself like it. It isn't for younger males. This may be labeled as a romantic scent but I could find something more romantic than this, but that doesn’t mean its not a good scent.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Cory Gu
John Varatos created a scent so good that they needed to name the scent after him... well kind of. This scent is masculine with a nice lasting touch, but it isn't heavenly or out of this world. In fact, is really isn't that memorable. But still, you should try it, as it will work anytime of the day.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Joy Simpson
this is the geatest smelling colgne. its earthy not overpowering. great for fathers day
-
Review of John Varvatos by Rachel Brown
this one is most definitely made for the mature older man, with it's rich spice and coastal oceanic undertones. I do like the woodsy scents, but this one is perhaps a little stronger than I'd hoped for. My dad wore this one for a while and he really likes it. He runs a professional hair salon and his clientelle love it when he wears this one. I think it is in the median range of a good cologne.
-
Review of John Varvatos by David Toma
John Varvatos by John Varvatos is a decent smell but it think its more suitable for older men. I am a teenager and i dont really think this cologene really worked for me, but i do recomend it for someone in there 40's. After i bought it i gave it to my father and he enjoyed it very much.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Debbie Rodrigues
John Varvatos's signature fragrance for men is a very nice scent. I guess you would call this a sporty yet still casual fragrance. It is not too overpowering yet still a very masculine scent. I think this fragrance would work well both day and night, without being to heavy or too light. This is a nice fragrance to give as a gift.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Haoyong Yu
Its refreshing and its not over powering. I love it.. I bought it for my friend for her birthday and we both usually wear gucci rush... but I wanted something different and this is perfect. Its light and it stays with you all day with just a spray or two.. and its enjoyable for those around you too.. After buying my friend a bottle I went and got myself one and have gotten nothing but compliments... This is a must have! I don't normally care for heavy scents, especially for day use. This one is light, crisp, and casual enough to wear without worrying someone might mistake you for a call girl. On the other hand, it doesn't smell like a cheap drug store perfume, either. (It does have a citrus-y smell to it, but isn't fruity, flowery, or powdery.) If you shop around, you can find some affordable options. I use the shower gel and the eau de toilette, in case you were wondering. If you're looking for a replacement for Escada Ibiza Hippie, you might like this one. However, this is a very popular scent, so if you're looking for something unique you might want to keep on looking. This is the first perfume I've ever used and have loved it since. It will always be my #1 perfume as my pick. It has the fresh fruity smell and a very clean and cool scent. I receive alot of compliments when I wear this perfume. Lovely and breathtaking.

Review of John Varvatos by Adam Thimons
John Varvatos is a complex woody oriental that is perfect for a night on the town or a hot date. Smells warm and sophisticated, with a nice combination of fruit, vanilla and leather. Plus the bottle is absolutely awesome. Varvatos is recommended for anyone who is looking to distance themselves from the Cool Water / Acqua Di Gio crowd. Check it out!
-
Review of John Varvatos by Chester Chan
I had one of this cologne for the longest time and it’s decent in my ranking. I like it but the smell wasn’t the one I was looking for. However, it is nice and classy and is perfect for formal occasions like weddings or whatnot. If you’re looking for a semi-strong cologne, this cologne will do it’s job well. Hope my comment helps.
-
Review of John Varvatos by J. N.
I like the smell of this cologne, but I don't love it. It's not one that's good for everyday wear, but for special occasions or impressing a certain lady it is a good choice. It smells a bit strong but that soon fades away into a nice, steady smell guaranteed to get you complimented.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Ivonne Correa
This smells amazing, my husband who can care less "usually" loves this as well!! it's what a man should smell like!!! AMAZING! NOT for a shy man.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Sally Zhang
I bought this for a birthday gift for my husband. He likes it, and I love it. Expensive perhaps, but worth it. Now I just need to wait for him to finish the bottle of that old stuff he has. It is subtle enough not to have you sneezing and smooth enough to make an impact and a statement.

Review of John Varvatos by And Hu
I love the smells it smells so good i wear it on the time.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Jason Gaudet
Sweet-smelling, with a surprisingly strong rose scent. The rose scent might make this cologne too feminine for some, but it is still an appealing scent that is not as common as Polo Blue and Hugo. I've read that this is more suited for colder-weather wear, although I think it would also wear well in warm weather. A high-quality cologne with great staying power.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Krishna Seeram
This is very good and nice smell. I had a layover in an airport that gave me time to stop by the duty free shop in the terminal and browse. I tried just a dab of Lovely and kept browsing. I went to my gate to wait as my departure time neared. The fragrance was amazing - not over powering at all. It reminded me of the perfect date - you know, when you look great and feel great.

Review of John Varvatos by Runkun Sun

This wasn't my first time making a purchase with PERFUME.com, and it definately won't be the last, either, if that tells you anything:) I've called their offices twice, and both times I was treated with complete courtesy; in fact, they were downright friendly, very nice people. Easy to use website, etc.. I'm quite satisfied and happy! thanks"

Review of John Varvatos by Kev Chi
A resolutely masculine fragrance born from the sea, the sun, the earth, and the breeze of a Mediterranean island. Transparent, aromatic, and woody in nature John Varvatos is a contemporary expression of masculinity, in an aura of marine notes, fruits, herbs, and woods.

Review of John Varvatos by Sarah Goodwin
I bought this cologne for my husband as a Christmas gift and have never regretted it. It is one of the sexiest men's cologne out there. It is soft,gentle,warm,hot and super spicy all at the same time! It is a powerful scent without being to strong. John Varvatos cologne is what a man is supposed to smell like. Strong and super sexy! My husband get's compliments on this all of the time.

Review of John Varvatos by Helen Wu
This cologne is a classic. That is how I see it. You can't go wrong with this smell. It works on a casual day out or an evening dinner. Although it does smell pretty good, the only problem with it is that a lot of people wear it. It makes sense because it obviosuly smells good. Of course, if you can't stand being like everybody else or have the "want to be original" personality, this cologne may not be for you. But definately consider this. It is a classic

Review of John Varvatos by Frank Li
John Varvatos is a great cologne. It is a soft, smooth and warm scent that lasts a long time. On the drydown I can pick up the different combination of scents, like vanilla and leather. it is somewhat sweet yet masculine. sometimes it seems sweet and other times more leathery and spicy. Seems to be a well made cologne that has good lasting power and is unique from others out there. I like it since it radiates a sutle warmness.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Cynthia Stodolka
My son's birthday was coming up and i had no idea what to give him. My husband suggested a bottle of John Varvatos. I must admit this fragrance when i first smelled it on him was a killer. Incredible, a great product.

Review of John Varvatos by Joseph Mounts
Introduced in 2004, this is the first, and so far, only scent by John Varvatos. The opening is quite unique, with dates or figs or probably a bit of both in the mix. Later on there is a hint of smooth vanilla and leather. In fact, this fragrance can be summed up with the word "smooth." This is a very exotic-smalling fragrance, and it definitely stands out from the crowd. I'm looking forward to more from John Varvatos.
-
Review of John Varvatos by Justin Meyer
John Varvatos is a unique fragrance. Following the unusual but nonetheless intriguing opening caused by the Tamarind leaves and Medjool date, John Varvatos begins to settle down to become a subtle blend of vanilla and leather. The leather note in John Varvatos is not overpowering or harsh but is more of a supple leather that works alongside the vanilla to create a very impressive fragrance. The only problem one might have with John Varvatos is how long it lasts (or rather how long it does not). Within three hours after application, JV becomes a skin scent that can only be smelled by someone very close to you. However, once JV does settle down to this state, it can then easily be detected some four hours later. I personally believe JV should be tried by anyone who likes something a bit off the beaten path that is still wearable.
