About John Varvatos Oud
John Varvatos Oud by John Varvatos is an opulent and captivating cologne crafted for the modern man who appreciates luxury and authenticity in every facet of his life. This fragrance has been launched by the designer brand of John Varvatos, and it is a perfect embodiment of the master of adaptations of the art of perfumery with its intricate and full-bodied notes. The cologne has its roots in the luxurious and mysterious scent of the Middle Eastern oud; however, it is a tribute to the age-old wisdom of the past and a manifestation of the current elegance. It is the ideal smell for a person who wants to make a daring statement.
Fragrance Family:
Oriental Woody
Scent Type:
Rich, Spicy, Warm, Luxurious
Notes:
John Varvatos Oud Cologne opens with a daring and exotic splash of top notes including fragrant tobacco, sweet nutmeg, and opulent juniper berries, stimulating the senses with their warm and inviting spice. A rich bouquet of fragrant tobacco, and sweet nutmeg, and the luxurious juniper berries are the top notes that inspire you to travel to the orient and experience a warm and festive atmosphere. As the fragrance goes, the heart gives away the mix of beautiful, intoxicating flowers and the rich, leathery oud wood that smells like the sun walking in with an elegant charm. The notes at the end reside in the perfume's scent by the unique mix of what we have already discovered: creamy amber along with smoked essences, and the addition of exotic sandalwood, which have a lasting seductive presence all over.
Suggested Use
For optimal effect and longevity, apply John Varvatos Oud Cologne directly to your pulse points. Focus on areas behind the ears, at the base of the neck, and on the wrists. Apply before you dress for maximum absorption, or on warm skin right after a shower to amplify its aromatic qualities. This luxurious scent is ideal for evening events or occasions where you desire a memorable and lasting impression. Perfect for any setting where sophistication and allure are required.

Great smell
Bought this for my husband and since he is into OUD he loves this one, the bottle itself is good looking too on the stand. The smell is strong at first but then as it pass it leaves this scent like spicy smell like no other and it lasts throughout the day which is a big plus for him as men don't like to reapply cologne again.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Wow! "OUD" means 'wood', but it's way more than that!
"OUD" [ ʽūd ]is an Arabic word, which literally means 'wood', but it's way more than that! It gives you a sense of being different and adventurous... Just an amazing bland of oriental aromas! And the price is such a great value for such a huge bottle!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

I wouldn't Buy it Again
The package looks nice and so does the bottle, but it's not long lasting and the smell is nothing exciting. It's rather weak. It reminds me of vintage a bit, it's definitely not my favorite John Varvatos.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Great Scent, Poor Sillage!
Well, the fragrance, itself, is very oriental, incensy, and dark. And it seems strange that something on the shadows side of the spectrum cannot hold longer than 2 - 4 hours. Even worse, the sillage and projection are abominable! This is the oudiest skin scent (or the skinniest oud scent) I have ever put my nose on. I would recommend it, but only for home use. You're not going to get any girls with this one, unless you're all up in their business, and then you STILL won't get any girls.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

An average Varvatos, no better.
The bottle says it all: Shiny, but plastic. It's an ok fragrance from Varvatos - and I am otherwise an admirer of the line. The others in the Varvatos family seem to say more, have greater depth, better life/sillage. This one is ok, and not the Oud I was looking for. In the lower ranks of the Varvatos, but they are all quite nice. To say this was a bad fragrance would be incorrect - I do like it. Consider the Versace Oud option as a similarly priced alternative.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Great scent but wouldn't last one hour It's a shame
To call this fragrance eau de parfum is a straight out lie. As soon as you apply it to your skin it literally flys away. It should be called eau de aqua watered down. Extremely disappointed . Unless you carry your bottle with you all day long it's pretty much useless Will never buy this again
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

I bought this for my boyfriend as he loves oud. He LOVES it. He has bought very expensive oud before but says the quality, smell and longevity of this one is just as great if not better. (Oud is a very acquired smell- I'm getting used to it!)

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

OUD IS A PARTIAL MISS
i Love John Varvatos scents and I like Oud well enough, but I also like to spray a small amount on my t-shirts (seams to make the scent last longer during the day) and it stains my shirt and that doesn't make me happy.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

amazing
This is my fourth designer oud fragrance. I own this, jovan intense oud, dunhill icon absolute and polo supreme oud. Very medicinal, rubbery opening. Not much warmth or sweetness, woods, a very "dry" oud scent. Calms down and dissipates pretty quickly, goes close to the skin and you get some traces of sweetness. Its life cycle from spray to faint is an hour, maybe 2. The scent is not bad but not enough oomph. Especilaly not for 150 full retail. even less due to a gift card i had gotten. At 50 it is borderline worth a buy for someone wanting an introductory oud fragrance. I love the varvatos one but I am not sure id buy this again. I personally feel dark rebel and rebel rider are much more compelling and much darker than this. The only oud i own worth their retail price tag is the jovan intense oud and polo supreme oud. Jovan gives you that medicinal rubbery vibe (a lot like varvatos but zero sweetness). Polo supreme oud is heads and shoulders above the ones i own. Icon absolute is very good though in its own right but varvatos? Falls flat and i probably would not purchase again.
