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

It opens with Calabrian bergamot, Italian lemon and citrus notes alongside green leaves and mineral notes. Sage, Madagascan geranium and iris form the heart, and Indonesian patchouli, sandalwood, musk and amber soften the base. Fresh and aquatic accords lead, with spicy and woody tones sitting behind them.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are only a rough guide. Released in 2019, it leans masculine. Dsquared² Original Wood and Zara Absolutely Dark have a close profile.
