What does John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal smell like?

Lemon and rosemary open it brightly; in the heart, pink pepper and water lily make it slightly spicy and floral at once. The base of driftwood, sea salt and musk dries down to a calm, green and woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it is noticed in a room without dominating it. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is seen as suited to daily wear, leisure, sport and business. Acqua di Baviera Lago and Burberry Mr. Burberry Indigo have a close profile.
