John Varvatos Platinum Edition by John Varvatos is a Leather fragrance for men. This is a new fragrance. John Varvatos Platinum Edition was launched in 2013. The nose behind this fragrance is Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Top notes are bergamot, bitter orange, sage, coriander, ceylon cinnamon and myrtle; middle notes are incense, vetiver and leather; base notes are woodsy notes, amber and white sandalwood.

Personal review: Amazing! I really dig this fragrance. It ends up sweetening up a bit in the drydown which I really liked. The top notes don't stick around too long but that is fine with me because your left with sweet leather, incense and sandalwood. This fragrance is all man. Confident, suave man. You could rock this in a two piece suit, sport coat or jeans...

I would not suggest this for hot summer days or teenagers. I would be surprised if many teens would want to wear this anyway lol.
At any case... I wish the longevity and projection lasted a bit longer because I like the scent so much. They aren't bad, just wish it had a bit more legs on it.
Longevity= 8-9 hours
Projection= 3-4 hours
Sillage= 3 hours. Not a huge trail but nice
