About John Varvatos XX Indigo
John Varvatos XX Indigo: Aromatic Fougère with a Modern Twist
Launched in 2021, John Varvatos XX Indigo is a masculine Oriental Fougère that balances cool freshness with warm depth. It’s a smart, easy-going scent for everyday wear.
With a contemporary take on a classic structure, it feels both familiar and new, suitable for a range of occasions.
The opening is clean and brisk: mint and pink pepper dance with a zesty lime note, giving an immediate sense of freshness with a subtle spicy kick. It feels sharp without being harsh.
In the heart, geranium and cardamom create an aromatic, slightly sweet blend, while the unusual Himalayan blue poppy adds a soft, powdery floral nuance that keeps things interesting.
The base is firmly grounded in vetiver, patchouli and musk. Vetiver brings an earthy, grassy tone, patchouli adds a dark, balsamic richness, and musk wraps everything in a smooth, skin-like warmth.
The overall effect is that of a classic fougère reimagined for the 2020s: green, aromatic and fresh at first, then increasingly woody and comforting. It’s versatile enough for the office or a casual evening out.
With accords leaning towards aromatic, fresh spicy, green and woody, this is a fragrance that feels natural and refined, never overpowering. It sits close to the skin and develops gently over time.
This scent suits men who appreciate a fresh, spicy cologne with a woody base—particularly good for spring and autumn, and for those who prefer understated sophistication.
John Varvatos XX Indigo is a well-crafted, balanced fougère that delivers on its promises. With a user rating of 3.68 out of 5 based on 268 ratings, it’s a dependable choice for fans of modern classics.

It looks a lot like Dylan Blue, the difference at least for me is that it lasts longer than Dylan, smells more refined and thank God, this one doesn’t give me allergies. I liked it.
