John Varvatos XX Elixir

John Varvatos John Varvatos XX Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. John Varvatos XX Elixir opens with Davana, Bergamot, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Iris, Geranium, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Tonka Bean. John Varvatos's John Varvatos XX Elixir carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. While it does deliver a refined, sensual experience with surprising longevity for a Varvatos, the price tag is a major sticking point for many. It's pleasant and wearable, but don't expect anything groundbreaking for your cash.

About

Elixir opens with a spicy, bright kick of ginger and bergamot, softened by the fruity-herbal nuance of davana. As it settles, a smooth, slightly boozy rum note emerges, intertwined with the powdery sophistication of iris and the green clarity of geranium. The base grounds everything in a refined leather, warm cedar, and a subtle, creamy tonka bean finish.
