Details & care
What it is: A pulsating, seductive twist of John Varvatos XX original injected with new fragrance notes for a more vibrant top, rich middle and seductive base.

The fragrance reaches its finale with a blend of rich tonka bean, sultry cedarwood and roasted coffee, leaving an unforgettable trail from dawn to dusk.

Clean ingredients and a sexy, masculine scent.
