John Varvatos XX


Nice smell. Sweet. Apple, flowers, orange blossom, sandalwood come through the most for me. It’s long lasting, pretty decent projection.

This is a good all around cologne, it could work at the gym, club, date, dinner, work. It’s going to have a wide appeal. My only complaint is it doesn’t really stand out as something unique, but that will only be an issue if you have a big collection. If this is your only scent, I think it’s a good one.

Kenneth Cole Copper Black

It had a metallic smell, which would make sense considering the name. Very pleasant, would be good for a date or going out at night. Very masculine. Very dark smelling if that makes any sense.

The one complaint I have about this is it was almost gone after just a few hours, I would recommend putting a large dose on if you are going out to a club or a bar. The other downside is it’s not very versatile, I can’t see wearing this to the office or gym or anything but going out at night, but for that I think it’s very well fitted and if that’s when you usually wear cologne I highly recommend this.
