Is John Varvatos Vintage good for everyday wear?

It leans warm and sweet, so most owners wear it in cool weather and evenings. It can feel heavy for hot days or tight offices.

How long does it last?

Owners report it lasting most of an evening, with the tobacco and suede base lingering on skin and clothing.

What does it smell like?

Tart rhubarb and quince open it, followed by lavender, cinnamon leaf and fir balsam, then tobacco, suede, patchouli and oak moss.

Is it similar to other John Varvatos scents?

It is darker and sweeter than the original John Varvatos, with more fruit and leather. The original is cleaner and more versatile.

How should I apply it?

Use one or two sprays on pulse points and let it dry without rubbing. Rubbing breaks up the opening notes.

Is it a good gift for a man?

It suits men who like tobacco, leather and sweet-spicy scents. It is a poor fit for someone who prefers fresh citrus or aquatic fragrances.
