Which Should You Buy?
Vert 9 is a solid all-rounder. It's a crowd-pleasing, woody-aromatic fragrance that nails the versatile brief without being boring. If you need one scent for nearly any situation, this is it.
This one's a proper grower. While some find John Varvatos XX a bit of a wallflower, give it time and it settles into a surprisingly unique, warm, fruity-woody charm that performs far better than its price tag suggests. Don't write it off too soon.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and versatile woody-aromatic profile make it suitable for various settings, leaning towards casual and office wear. While not overly formal, its sophisticated dry down can work for some evening occasions too.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, inviting character and moderate projection make it suitable for casual wear and dates, encouraging closer encounters. While some reviewers call it office-appropriate if lightly applied, its warmth might be a bit much for formal settings, and it definitely lacks the freshness for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Warm Spicy, Fruity accords and Violet, Geranium notes
