Vintage by John Varvatos for Men 4.2 oz EDT Spray

"Vintage" by John Varvatos for Men 4.2 oz Eau de Toilette Spray is a sophisticated Woody Chypre fragrance that blends aromatic herbs, warm spices, rich tobacco, and smooth suede. Launched in 2006 and created by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, this distinctive composition combines classic masculine fragrance traditions with a contemporary, rugged elegance.

The fragrance opens with an intriguing combination of tart rhubarb, fruity quince, pepper, wormwood, basil, and fennel, creating a vibrant aromatic introduction with fresh, spicy, and subtly green accents. At its heart, warm cinnamon, juniper berries, lavender, green leaves, orris root, and jasmine develop into a refined blend of spices, herbs, and delicate floral nuances. As the fragrance settles, tobacco, soft suede, balsam fir, tonka bean, woody notes, oakmoss, and patchouli create a warm, earthy finish with subtle sweetness and leathery depth. This sophisticated combination makes Vintage an appealing choice for professional settings, evening gatherings, romantic occasions, and cooler-weather wear.

Bottle Description: John Varvatos Vintage Eau de Toilette features a distinctive dark amber-brown glass bottle with a broad rectangular silhouette, textured leather-inspired detailing, and an understated dark cap. Its rugged, vintage-inspired presentation reflects the fragrance's woody, tobacco-rich character and the designer's signature aesthetic. The generous 4.2 oz bottle makes an attractive addition to any fragrance collection.
