John Varvatos John Varvatos XX Indigo opens with Cardamom, Lemon and Mint, moves through a heart of Blue Poppy, Geranium and Himalayan Poppy, and settles on Musk, Patchouli and Vetiver. Overall it reads as a woody aromatic fragrance.
Expect around 6 hours of wear, with strong sillage and moderate projection that settles closer to the skin over time.
Yes — its woody aromatic profile suits year-round wear, both daytime and evening depending on the occasion.
Top: Cardamom, Lemon and Mint. Heart: Blue Poppy, Geranium and Himalayan Poppy. Base: Musk, Patchouli and Vetiver.
It works as a versatile signature; its strong sillage keeps it appropriate for both casual and dressed settings.
Projection is moderate in the opening hours, driven by its Musk, Patchouli and Vetiver foundation, before it softens to a skin scent.
