John Varvatos XX Indigo comes across as Icy mint and lemon, green vetiver snap. It opens with peppermint, lemon and pink pepper, moves into Himalayan poppy, geranium and cardamom and settles on musk, patchouli and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. It suits the office. Released in 2021.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Around $99.

Prices for the 23 John Varvatos perfumes on Scendira go from about $15 to $165. The American designer's most discussed three include two Artisan citrus colognes and the rum-and-leather Dark Rebel.
Artisan (EDT, 2009) smells like citrus fruit zest with cool lavender, lightly spicy, built on mandarin, tangelo, clementine, thyme, marjoram and Provençal lavender.
Artisan Pure (EDT, 2017) keeps the citrus but turns it into bright lemon with a fresh green breeze, with clementine, lemon and bergamot over musk, orris root and amber.
Dark Rebel (2015) is the darker one: a smoky leather jacket with rum-soaked sweet spice, from Jamaican rum and cardamom to castoreum, vanilla and tobacco.
