John Varvatos 10th Anniversary Special Edition

Both this and its twin JV Platinum are excellent woody / spicy frags. I'm pretty sure they're the same even though the notes shown are different. I get a patchouli vibe from both that reminds me of another that I love: Mercedes Benz Club Extreme, which is a great option if you want a similar scent that is still at great price. It's a shame scents this good are only "limited edition" or quickly discontinued. This one is a perfect daily-driver for cold weather.

When I first tried this on my skin, I had it applied on one wrist, and JV Original on the other. JV Origianl was great and I actually never liked 10th Anniversary right away. But after 30min when JV original was pretty much gone....shame, I started to like 10th Anniversay more and more, and later bought it. I love the scent, and it has great longevity on me.

Iam a big JV platinum fan, and have a few bottles of it. Recently got this, and I’m also certain this is the same fragrance as platinum, but this one seems to last just a tad bit longer. But as far as the smell, same smell different bottle, with this one being 50$ more than platinum.

actually...disappointing i gotta say. just received JV 10th anniversary frag yesterday but right after i sniffed the bottle, and then took the first test of this...i felt like fainted...how could JV let this out on to the market which is already full of cheap fragrances...:(

I love this fragrance as much as all the other John Varvatos colognes. I can most certainly smell the Patchouli and Vetyver which I love. I also smell citrus and I love the combination of all these ingredients together. I will be wearing it very frequently.
