Napasonoma

John Varvatos always produces a good men’s fragrance. This is my 4th JV and you get quality for less $$ This is a great cologne for many reasons, natural smelling, no harsh opening, great bottle design, and is fairly versatile I’m thinking summer evening or controlled climate is fine. This is definitely a more mature man’s cologne but not over the top barber shop, but a little in a good way. Blind buy? Yes if you are 40+ performance is above average and it’s not an over the top beast. I get a whole days wear with it and people notice and comment.

This is a great flanker, more mature and not as sweet as most of the other Codes. Iris is the new fad, so this is Armani’s intro to it. This is a great all around scent and can be a signature scent as well. Great performance, but not a beast and that’s a good thing. I’ve been wearing Code since it came out. My favorites are EDP, Absolu and now I’ve added Parfum to the list. I can say almost anytime I wear any of the aforementioned I get complements. Blind buy if you want a little more mature option for your Code collection. Also love the new bottle, (magnetic) the older Oval caps we a nuisance.

I bought this a few years back. And I love this fragrance. It reminds me a little bit of The One, by D&G. My wife like this on me too.
It starts off boozy and the citrus is there and the dry down is woody sweet, but a creamy sweet. But the cedar is calming the sweetness down some. I get better than average performance for an EDT. 6 to 8 hours depending on number of sprays. For me this is a cooler weather hidden gem!

This is a fragrance that really surprised be. It has a really nice scent structure and for me the Iris is the star. It is between that lipsticky and powdery smell which ends up smooooooth. Performance is really good, smell it the next morning even though it was a skin scent after 10 hours. On clothes it is there until the wash. And the bottle is a really classy design, the whole package shouts class. If you did not know this was made by Lalique! Nice job, and can’t beat the price, but this one is getting harder to find, hopefully it is not discontinued.
