What does JV x NJ - John Varvatos x Nick Jonas (crimson) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, which makes it an easy scent to wear through the day without crowding anyone. Nothing is known here about season or occasion, but the fresh, spicy build reads masculine.

The opening is bright and fruity, with rum, apple and bergamot, while cedar leaf and coffee dry it out a little. The heart brings amber, saffron, suede and lavender together into a sweet, spicy, faintly leathery body. The base of labdanum, patchouli, vetiver and musk leaves a resinous, earthy warmth. Acqua di Sardegna Lò and Khadlaj Icon have a close profile.
