John Varvatos XX

John Varvatos John Varvatos XX is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020. John Varvatos XX opens with Blackcurrant, Red Apple, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Violet, Orange Blossom, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Coffee, Sandalwood, and Cedar. John Varvatos's John Varvatos XX carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

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.

About

XX opens with a vibrant, slightly tart burst of blackcurrant and red apple, spiced up by a hint of cardamom. As it settles, a floral heart of violet and orange blossom emerges, softened by a touch of powdery warmth. The dry-down truly shines, revealing a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood, rich cedar, and a subtle coffee note that adds depth without being overwhelming. It's a comforting, inviting scent that offers surprising complexity.
