XX Intense is the new Eau de Parfum from John Varvatos. Inspired by the raw energy and electrifying intensity of rock and roll, this edgy and bold fragrance is for men who live life at full volume. Step into the spotlight with XX Intense. This rich, pulsating and seductive twist of John Varvatos' XX original is injected with new fragrance notes for a more vibrant top, rich middle and seductive base. XX Intense opens with a bright freshness that is grounded by a sweet floralcy blended with woods delivering a sensual warmth and easy addictiveness. Top notes of electric red ginger flower accord and zesty bergamot vibrate on skin like the first notes of a set, while middle notes of smooth geranium encapsulate the anticipation backstage. The fragrance reaches its finale with a blend of rich tonka bean, sultry cedarwood and roasted coffee, leaving an unforgettable trail from dawn to dusk. Sophisticated tone by day and sensuous signature after dark.

The Modern Rocker's Night Out

My Take on John Varvatos XX Intense Alright, I've got to talk about John Varvatos XX Intense. I've always been a fan of the whole Varvatos vibe—that cool, slightly edgy, rock-and-roll thing—and this fragrance absolutely nails it. If you're looking for a scent that feels like a night out in a cool city, this is one you need to check out. So, What Does It Actually Smell Like? Right off the bat, you get this awesome, warm blast of spice. It's mostly ginger and cardamom, but it's not sharp or sneezy like some spicy scents can be. There's a little bit of bergamot in there that keeps it from being too heavy from the jump, which is a nice touch. But the magic, for me, happens about 20 minutes in when the scent really settles down. This is where the coffee note comes out to play. Now, don't think you're going to smell like a walking espresso machine. It’s not that kind of coffee. It’s a much smoother, dark-roasted, almost sweet floral coffee vibe that's just incredibly unique. It's the kind of thing that makes someone lean in a little closer. After a few hours, it dries down into something seriously addictive. It gets really creamy and warm, thanks to sandalwood and a ton of tonka bean (which gives it a vanilla/almond feel). It's sweet, but in a masculine, woody way, not a sugary way. It’s the scent that lingers on your jacket the next morning and makes you smile. How It Wears (The Important Stuff) Performance-wise, it's pretty solid. On my skin, I get a good 6-8 hours out of it. It's not a "beast mode" monster that will fill up a room, and honestly, that's a good thing. It projects enough that people next to you will notice it for the first couple of hours, which is perfect for what this scent is. It's designed to be discovered, not to announce your arrival from 20 feet away. When I'm Reaching for This This is 100% a fall and winter fragrance for me. It's got way too much warmth and sweetness for a hot day. I wear this when I'm going out at night—whether it's for drinks, a date, or just hanging out. It's my go-to "leather jacket" scent. It just feels right for the evening. I definitely wouldn't wear this to the office; it's a little too seductive for a spreadsheet session. The Bottom Line I'm genuinely impressed with John Varvatos XX Intense. It's a modern, dark, and sweet fragrance that gets compliments. If you're a fan of scents like Armani Code Profumo or Azzaro's The Most Wanted, you'll probably love this. It's everything you want in a night-out fragrance: inviting, a little mysterious, and just plain cool. It has quickly become one of the top bottles I reach for when the sun goes down. It's a definite winner.

Why call it a perfume

Why call this a perfume? Perfume is for women, cologne is for men.

Great scent of cedar wood and coffee

This scent is great! Not too overpowering, with perfect notes of ginger, coffee, and cedar wood. The packaging is very sleek and mysterious. The scent lasts quite a while too and I’ve gotten many compliments!

Lasting Intensity

Strong scent and very masculine. It can be overpowering, so I feel a spray or two is more than sufficient. It lasts long, enough for the whole night or an event, which is great as many others tend to dissipate within a few hours. The bottle is unique in its design, but still easy to use and spray.

My new everyday staple

John Varvatos XX Intense really lives up to the name—it’s bold, smooth, and makes a statement without trying too hard. Right from the first spray, you get a warm blend of spices, woods, and just a touch of sweetness that feels modern but still masculine. It settles into something deep and slightly smoky, perfect for evenings or cooler weather. The performance is solid and it lasts most of the day and doesn’t fade fast. It’s got that “put-together without overdoing it” vibe. If you like colognes that are rich and confident, XX Intense is definitely worth a spot on your shelf.
