Birchbox Breakdown

Housed in smoky glass with a spring top reminiscent of a vintage beer bottle, John Varvatos’ cologne, like his designs, exudes a combination of off-kilter downtown cool and elegant prep. Also available in a smaller, 1.7 oz version.

How it Works

This dapper scent combines red ginger essence from Laos, juniper berries and cedrat from Sicily, blue spruce, green cardamom, osmanthus, vetyvert, belambre, and tonka bean from Venezuela.

How to Use

You develop your own preferred routine when it comes to putting on cologne. One rule: don’t overdo it. You can’t go wrong with a spritz behind each ear at the end of your grooming routine.

Daily Star

This stuff is a winner. It is a solid daily fragrance for the workplace or casual environs. The subtle scent suggests that you have taken care in selection of an appropriate fragrance that is pleasing but not overpowering. I get asked all the time what it is I'm wearing when standing in lines (no I don't wear too much) and folks really seem to like it as much as me. Just the right blend of citrus and manliness.

Nice, but I prefer the original

I already use the original John Varvatos cologne so I was excited to try this, and it is really nice, my wife agrees. I think I prefer the original though, maybe just because it's my usual smell. Creature of habit I guess.

Great scent

My wife loves John Varvatos Star U.S.A., Therefore I love it! It is a refreshing scent that lasts all day and is not overpowering like a lot of other colognes.

It is nice, but pricy

It smells nice and my boyfriend likes it, but we would not pay over $60 for a cologne. If you are in the mood to splurge then I say go for it.

Awesome Fall/Winter Scent

I get a lot of compliments on this cologne. It lasts all day and smells very masculine without being overpowering. It's a perfect fall/winter scent.

Great cologne!
Sampled

I really enjoyed this cologne. It doesn't take much, it smells great and lasts all day. It was nice getting several compliments, some from total strangers.

Decent
Sampled

This smell was decent. The trial size and packaging was good. Smell was a little too crisp for me.

Girlfriend approved
Sampled

Smelled good. I'm used to wearing Axe so when I wore this the girlfriend said it smelled good and "manly". If it's girlfriend approved it;s James approved. Not too musky either.

Great Cologne
Sampled

Great smelling cologne - not overpowering, but it smells classy and unique. I hate having the same product as everyone else, this stuff will set you apart from the crowd without being obnoxious. One spray on the chest, one on the wrists and you're set to smell great all night. It has staying power.
