John Varvatos Oud Eau de Parfum 125ml for Him

Rich and atmospheric, John Varvatos Oud Eau de Parfum for men (launched in 2014) explores the darker side of woody amber perfumery. Created by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, it balances aromatic freshness with smoky warmth, making it a natural choice when you want something more distinctive than a clean, everyday scent.

The opening pairs tobacco with juniper berries and a spiced lift of nutmeg, sharpened by cypress and sage. As it develops, a generous heart of cinnamon and pepper is threaded with cardamom, clove and saffron, softened by Turkish rose, Egyptian jasmine and osmanthus. The dry-down is where the signature depth settles in: incense and agarwood (oud) meet myrrh, leather and opoponax, grounded by labdanum, cedar and amber. Suited to cooler weather and particularly compelling in the evening, it also wears well by day when you want a more enveloping finish.
