The mysterious and sensual allure of the Orient is richly embodied in the bold, complex scent of John Varvatos Oud cologne. Tobacco, cypress and nutmeg top notes set the stage for adventure in faraway lands with a heady, earthy musk. The spicy middle notes conjure up rich images of eastern bazaars in exotic locales with an aromatic mlange of saffron, clove, cardamom and jasmine with just a hint of sweet Turkish rose.
