John Varvatos is a great house
John Varvatos has a great collection of scents. This is a fresh aqua scent. I'm not generally a "blue" scent guy but I like the freshness of this scent. As always with this house the longevity is not very good. I keep a bottle with me to refresh every few hours, and the price is great so it doesn't matter how much you go through.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Light fresh scent
I absolutely love this scent for springtime. Light and fresh. It's more and a day, running errands kinda scent for me. Only lasts about an hour and half on me, So I keep an atomizer with me. 4 stars only because it lacks longevity. Great buy and great scent.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I would purchase each new light fragrance repeatedly.
My son has all his John Varvatos fragrances lined up. He prefers the lighter citrus selections which draw comments from everyone. Women have commented and asked what he is wearing as they must purchase it for their husbands. I purchase a new scent for each special event and it is always a winner.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Not Exactly as Expected but Like It
Was expecting something a little more nuanced and layered from a JV scent (I am a big fan of the regular Artisan) and it just felt a bit more generic than I would like. Still a pleasant scent, just a bit more simple spring/summer scent than expected.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.
