The enchanting indigo
I love everything blue in fragrances and I love American fragrances in particular because most of them are light on the nose and have innovative, non-imitation scents.
John Varvatos is a fashion house that features innovative, high-quality fragrances at an affordable price. John Varvatos XX Indigo is a light, masculine fragrance that is acceptable to all and has above average performance. It relies on mint in the opening, geranium in the heart of the fragrance, and Himalayan poppy to give balance to the fragrance on a light base of vetiver and patchouli. A delightful, perfectly balanced fragrance perfect for spring and breezy summer nights. The bottle is of high quality and comes in a deep blue (indigo) color with a metal cap and a medallion with the John Varvatos logo. The scent of Himalayan poppy is very attractive, distinctive and completely unrepeatable. The fragrance does not resemble the famous Dylan Blue Versace except in the color of the bottle only.
Final Rating: An unrepeatable, unusual, very enjoyable and deep fragrance that is worth trying and owning.

Fresher version of the OG
First of all, this smells nothing like Dylan blue. For me, it’s very similar to the Jon varvatos original, but a little bit fresher version. It definitely has the John Varvatos DNA. I can even see similarities between this and Artesian too. For me, it’s quite a pleasant sent my wife likes it And I get over six hours even though the last hour or two is closer to the skin. The presentation; some think it’s tacky but I think it’s a nice looking presentation and it fits well within my collection. It has a decent atomizer. It’s loaded with a Notes, and it has a great smell, and like I said, it lasts a decent amount of time on me. I also think you could wear this most anytime and anywhere. It probably would do a little better in cooler months, but if you’re inside and air conditioning, it should be fine. I think the name indigo is perfect because this is a little bit darker version of I also think you could wear this most anytime and anywhere. It probably would do a little better in cooler months, but if your inside and air conditioning, it should be fine. I think the name indigo is perfect because this is a little bit darker version of a blue cologne.

A Hot Day at the Beach...
... I am sitting on the rooftop terrace of my hotel, looking at the waves of the Mediterranean. It is early in the morning, and I have just gotten myself an espresso while watching the rising sun. It is fresh, citrusy, and maritime. The waitress comes to the rooftop terrace, smiles at me, hands me a cornetto with another espresso, and says that the first one shouldn't be so lonely. I take it and thank her.

Upon applying this fragrance, the first thing that hits the nose is a green minty citrusy peppery accent. Along with this, there is a slightly spicy floral note before the scent becomes earthy, woody, grassy, smoky, balsamic, and dry, yet still retains a freshness.

The longevity and sillage are, as usual for this brand, average.

Here we have a fragrance for the gentleman that can also be worn by ladies. I would say it is suitable for ages 18 and up. It makes a good impression from spring through to autumn. It is suitable for both day and evening wear on any occasion, as it is discreet and unobtrusive.

Anyone who enjoys a green minty citrusy peppery spicy floral earthy woody grassy smoky balsamic dry fragrance will find this one appealing.

Can be a beautiful freshie with a kick. The start is nice. Super citrusy, woody vibe. Wouldn't be for the cheap synthetic cardamom after Dd; shapeless.

Fresh and citrusy at first, the scent quickly turns warm and sweet with strong notes of poppy and musk.

Starts with a zesty burst of mint and lemon, punctuated by a peppery sharpness. Perfect for kicking off the day cool.

It's quite similar to Dylan Blue. The Versace is the better choice due to its significantly better performance. Shower gel scent.
