 Good Balance |
| Review Date: August 27, 2007 |
| Reviewer: G. North, |
One other reviewer hit the nail on the head with the middle and end notes of John Varvatos: Leather, vanilla and spice. It reminded me of the smell of a new leather jacket and cinnamon candy.
It really is a MEN's cologne unlike many that could be mistaken for women's perfume. However it is not overwhelming, only those in close proximity would know you're wearing anything. Isn't that the idea? |
Great scent

| Reviewer: Galvatron, Queens, NY |
The scent starts off sweet, almost syrupy (is that a word?) Tamarind Tea Leaves and Date Fruit are predominant. However - the best part of this cologne is the dry-down. The middle and high notes are superb. The initial sweet smell becomes a mellow, masculine (a little spicy too) scent with vanilla and leather notes predominant. Perfect for Autumn and Winter.
The only con is that it doesn't last very long (on me.) I would have to say this is a night-time scent. |
Spectacular Perfume

I bought to use it as EDT but it works like EDP!! It's absolutely original brand perfume (I can tell with the authenticity of the fragrance and the lasting time!). It really lasts long and the dry-down turns out to be the most spectacular part. It smells more open and effective when it dries down. Great price and genuine seller! I highly recommend to buy it from this seller since I had friends who bought the same perfume from other dealers and got the fake ones! This perfume is musculine, subtle and sensual.
John Varvatos By Shiseido For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 4.2 Ounces
The notes are Medjool Date Fruit, Tamarind Tree Leaves, Coriander Seed Templar, Clary Sage Flower, Indian Ajowan, Auramber, Leather essence.
I believe this is the best perfume for winter wear! |
Fabulous (well, scents are very subjective)

It's all a matter of taste of course.
I like the woody scent. It's not sweet and fruity like some of the other colognes. It's also not harsh, excessive and overly masculine. It's sophisticated, understated, goes well with dressy clothes, stylish cars. It has a romantic side and if it gets on a sweather that you might wear again, it will be a nice reminder to put on some more. The woody scent reminds me of something exotic, something from the rain forest perhaps, a combination of scents collected from all over the world. I went to several parfumerias to compare if there is another cologne similar to this one, and there really isn't. One came close, but I stuck with John Varvatos. |
One of the best Perfume In the Market

| I have been using John Varvatos and John Varvatos Vintage for long a time now. It is one of the best perfumes in the market. I have used lot of perfumes (Armani Code, Acqua Di Gio and etc), But this one is a keeper and i Highly recommend it, if you wanna standalone or get noticed by others. |
Excellent--like the wooden fragrance!

| Last summer was the first time I tried John Varvatos! It is an excellent fragrance--liked the wooden fragrance and the rich leaves that make this cologne. It's a very masculine fragrance--every man should have it in his bathroom cabinet! |
It's Great

| I was purchasing some other cologne for a gift when I came across this ... after reading the reviews alone, I decided to order this for myself (and I'm not really even that big of a cologn person). The reviews are right on ... it's great. It's a masculine scent ... not over powering, not perfumy ... it definately has gotten noticed and I've gotten positive comments on more than one occassion about the scent. by the way ... who is John Varvatos? |
Best Fragrance

| Reviewer: Mazhar Usman, USA |
Well I must say this is the best fragrance I have used. I carried polo, dunhill, aqua, escape etc but this is the best. I want to smell it again and again and will buy this product in future as well.
Strongly recommanded. |
subtle yet undeniably masculine

| Reviewer: renaissance_guy, |
I saw the Varvatos "Artisian" cologne on uncrate.com and did a little research on the Varvatos brand... which lead me to this amazon page where I read 10 people who all were crazy about the Original Varvatos scent. Let me tell you something: they are not wrong.
This cologne is TOP NOTCH. One of my new favorites. It is very subtle.. very masculine... but is in no way overbearing. Let me begin with what I smell: It has tons of subtle notes including a bit of spice, some rose, some tobacco smokiness and some slight citrus/herb additions... and some sweetness on the end... but the amazing thing is that these notes are all so balanced and even... none are overpowering or out of place.
I would say that this is a traditional, very appealing sent that I would imagine every guy (over 25) would enjoy. If you are trying to avoid the "beachy", "fruity", or "floral" scents (incidently, the Varvatos Artisan is WAY to floral in my opinion), this cologne won't disappoint. Sounds like the women in the forum are also fans.
The bottle lists Tamarind Tree leaves, sage flower, mediterranean herbs, auramber, vanilla & black leather essence. |
Good scent

| i don't know how to review this. it's so personal. okay, i really like the smell of this stuff. to be honest, i was working at a bar, i am a sound guy, and one of the regulars walked by and i caught the scent of what he was wearing and i had to ask him what it was. if that sounds creepy, so be it. but that tells you how much i liked the smell. |
lol, bought this one blind

I bought this without smelling it, I wanted something with leather in it and I saw so many great reviews for this cologne.
Guess what, I also loved it. This is now my favorite cologne, it smells more like a man. A lot of the current colognes (2009) smell fruity or citrus like. I can't tell if they are for men or women. It is nice to have a scent that is masculine and you wouldn't think of a chick wearing.
Also there are hints of other smells in here which make it great, I could imagine this being my go to cologne for many years. I also like that this isn't SUPER trendy. |
Wow!

This is a great fragrance. It has a very manly scent that women seem to really enjoy.
This fragrance last for a good long while too and is fairly strong so easy does it; a little goes a long way.
This is my first product from this maker but it won't be my last. This is by far the best fragrance I've ever worn and it was a complete blind buy; I found it by searching top fragrance online. |
Simply Awesome !

| A great smelling cologne for men at an outstanding price. My brother purchased the smaller bottle at a departments store for twice the price earlier that day. Wow was he kicking himself after he realized that he threw away the receipt. |
A great fragrance, and value at amazon's price

| Reviewer: Corey Lee Wagner, |
| This is a great fragrance for almost anytime, I would wear it to the office, on a date, on any casual day. I don't think I would wear it on a hot summer day though. My favorite part of this scent is after it fully dries, it leaves a powdery vanilla leather kinda smell. That sounds strange but it smells great. |
Good deal

| I'm happy with this product, it came in a reasonable amount of time. The best part is the low price this was about 3 times cheaper than the same size bottle I saw in a local store. |

| Reviewer: CodyP, |
| I absolutely love this fragrance. Although I have others I really enjoy, such as Ferrari Black and Polo Black, my girlfriend describes this one as "the one that 'The Most Interesting Man in the World' would wear" (we both love those commercials). It's robust without being overwhelming, inherently masculine (i dare say it makes my girl a little giddy when i wear it), lasts all day and then some, and is really just a great value. This fragrance could be worn with an expensive suit or business-casual attire, and is sure to be a hit either way. |
Very happy
