FRAGRANCE TIPS
Blends of floral and citrus-based fragrances are recommended for casual and daywear. Spicy, woody or warm amber-based fragrances are traditionally favorites for evening and special occasions.

This smell is fantastic. I have yet to find anyone who did not like it. The problems is, all those who liked it, smelled it straight from my bottle. I have yet to have anyone comment on it in public, office, etc. For those of you who are considering John Varvatos, and have yet to smell the fragrance. I will give you an idea of the smell. John Varvatos from the bottle smells like no fragrance I have ever smelled. It seems to be a few fragrances combined. Something you will notice is a hint of vanilla. But, this is not a girl smell. It sort of smells like a Hugo Boss/Vanilla musk combo. Maybe a touch of green? The problem with John Varvatos is simple. The effects of this cologne are weak. This has no lasting power. Once you are outside for 20 minutes, you can't even smell it on you. Hence my mentioning that nobody ever comments on the smell. I so hate it, but I will have to look elsewhere for the perfect fragrance, because this smell is out of this world. But, to pay the kind of money they ask, only to have the stuff wear off. It's just not worth that. This is strictly a romantic fragrance. Because someone will have to be very close to smell it. Some have suggested to use the John Varvatos aftershave, and the cologne combined. To make the smell last through the day. This could work. But, thats a lot of cash. I may as well go with an import.
