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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?

Receiver the product without delay, and with great quality. The pricing was the cheapest I have ever seen, and it's the exact same product as in any store. And uhh FYI.... the scent it delivers gets many looks. ;)

A very nice scent, for me; nicely balanced, smooth and nonsynthetic.

A real pleaser when it is working for me. Very nice.

I would truly love it if it held up closer to what I get from several other

products at this price point (>5 hours with decent taper off projection).

It is too problematic for me to start off with an extra heavy application or

need to reinforce it every 2-3 hours or so, which seems to be the case here.

It also has a very heavy burn rate, given it's poor longevity.

Side by side it just expires way too quickly and it wasn't a fake either

(unless fakes have penetrated top shelf department stores/not likely).

Sadly I needed to move on as I just couldn't get comfortable with carrying

around a mini atomizer or sample bottle, nor did I want to go without. A lady

might carry their mobile supply where I just can't be that dependant and prissy.

It will fade fast for you too, bet on it. If thats OK I'd say go for it.

Has great high and rich notes that change over time, definitely beats any kind of Axe spray
