What does John Varvatos XX Indigo smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, peppermint and lemon, then moves into a floral, spicy heart of cardamom, geranium and Himalayan poppy, with fruity and sweet touches staying in the background. Vetiver, patchouli and musk soften the base and give it an earthy footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear and leisure come first, with sport and business close behind. A faintly synthetic edge adds to its fresh, casual feel. Zara Lisboa and Armaf Hunter Intense (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
