After having tried many different colognes- from Davidoff's juvenile Cool Water to Issey Miyake's well-balanced L'eau d'Issey, from Paco Rabanne's trashy XS to Dior's wonderfully sweet Eau Noire, from Kenneth Cole's understated Black to Gaultier's exciting Le Male, this picky reviewer must conclude that Vintage by John Varvatos is the nicest cologne that he has ever tried. Sweet but not sickening, elegant but playful, sophisticated but not stale, and masculine but not rough, Vintage has a unique combination of scents that will never be mistaken for any of the "generic-smelling" colognes so often turned out by even the designer perfumeries. Perfect for a date and suitable for a dressed-up day, I find that Vintage might be just a touch too casual for evening wear- but don't necessarily let that stop you. This is one fragrance that smells so good, you might just want to wear it all the time. Keep this on your shelf together with a bottle of Dolce & Gabbana, and you'll have an unstoppable combination of complementary fragrances that will bring you through any occasion smelling better than anyone else.

I received the product the day it was estimated. It arrived in a box that was all damaged, but luckily all the padding inside protected the package and there weren't any damage to it.
I hadn't smelled this product before. It was recommended by friends when the discussion of the 'sexiest' cologne was surfaced. It was described as 'sex on a beach with the scent of burning cinnamon on side'. I was going to a concert that week, and I figured I wouldn't mind smelling like that.
Sprayed the cologne on my inner-elbow, wrist, and neck that evening. The smell reminded me of a spicy Eternity, as if Eternity got wiser and started dating women that knew what they were doing as opposed to girls that just knew how to dress and put make up.
The smell lasts about 5 hours on me. The last note is the best when it becomes a mix of 'fresh' and cinnamon.

I found this to be a very modern,sexy,warm and enticing unisex scent. Masculine yet soft,gently spiced ,yet also with a touch of sweetness as the top note and woodsy, leather undertones. Gets even better the longer it is on the skin.

I love this because it smells like tobacco and whiskey, which masks how drunk on whiskey I am and how many cigarettes I've smoked today.

Great product!

Please don't buy this cologne. All the ladies love it, and I want to continue to be desired and unique. If word gets out that this causes women to trail behind you, sometimes several at a time, then everyone will wear it and i'll go back to being a closet geek with female attraction. I have had more women open conversations asking about this cologne than i've had kisses in my entire life. Which, okay, isn't a high bar, but it's setting a trend that I hope continues.

Vintage attacks women's senses with a triple combo of Chocolate, Coffee, and Real Man. They just can't resist.

But seriously, don't buy this cologne. You probably won't like it.

I thought that I could save a few dollars(40%) by buying this product on-line as compared to a department store. I found that the product once sprayed on would last only a few minutes... the blend is heavy on the alcohol and short on the oils! I wont make this mistake again!

I wear a lot of cologne (probably too much), but this is one of the only colognes that people seem to respond to...A perfect stranger (on an elevator) asked me "What cologne are you wearing ?". Friends always tell me how good I smell when I am wearing this cologne.

I recommend it highly - and this Amazon price is cheap..

I checked this product out at a Nordstrom, tested the sample, and fell in love with the smell. I decided to not purchase it at the department store and went to Amazon. At first I was skeptical of the price Amazon was charging but realized it was being shipped from Amazon so it had to be the legit product. Item shipped quickly and well packaged. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the smell due to its strong alcohol content. It sure wasn't the same and the smell didn't last long. I went to the department store to retest the scents and it was obvious from not only me but my girlfriend as well, that the smell was not the same. The Amazon version had too much alcohol, and well, smelled cheap. From what I understand I can not return this product to amazon for a refund/exchange due to be a fragrance, and in the end (for the first time) I am no content with my amazon purchase. :(

Very woodsy scent. I love how it mellows out over time and stays with you throughout the day. Great cologne!

It smells like leather and unsmoked cig tobacco. I don't smoke but love the smell of tobacco. Unlike many modern "male" scents, this is for MEN only. I wouldn't be surprised if Clint Eastwood wears this.
