For an Hombre with refined taste

John Varvatos OUD
John Varbatos fragrances are always among our favorite options. Not only are they stand outs but they are created by one of the most experienced perfumers in the industry, Givaudan Senior Perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, who just happens to be Mexican.

John Varvatos has several options among its arsenal including John Varvatos, John Varvatos Artisan and John Varvatos Vintage. Those are also options to consider and you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Our highlight here is the newest innovation in the fragrance portfolio. John Varvatos OUD, is inspired by the luxury and opulence of the Middle East mixed with the sensibility of the John Varvatos brand. The fragrance is inspired by the rare and complex, oud oil, which is one of the most expensive oils in the world often referred to as “liquid gold.” OUD contains real and sustainable essential oil of oud sourced from Thailand. This is the first time that this specific quantity of oud is used in an American fragrance.

“OUD is my very own Arabian Tale – regal and mysterious. The fragrance is specially crafted to bring the luxury of oud to life but with our unique, signature edge,” said Varvatos. “Like all fragrances in the John Varvatos Collection, it has its own unique DNA. From the exciting hypnotic blend of spices and oud oil, to the unique packaging, it is true to the John Varvatos artisan way of fragrance. OUD expands our offerings and caters to a refined and lavish taste.”

The fragrance is the result of a long-standing collaboration between Varvatos and Flores-Roux. “Traditionally, oud is valued as a unique and prestige fragrance ingredient. For John Varvatos OUD, we took it a step further.”

Top Notes:
Luxuriously aromatic, sweet tobacco emanates a fresh richness paired with Levantine Cypress, Hyssop, Clary Sage and Juniper Berries.

John Varvatos OUD, Eau de Parfum (4.2 fl. oz. 125ml) MSRP $150 *All prices are suggested retail.*

Exclusively sold at Bloomingdales. Available at Nordstrom nationwide beginning late December 2014. www.johnvarvatos.com

For the Hombre that Loves Women

Kristiansand New York was conceived when two Norwegians, Britt Hovde Ross and actress Elisabeth Steen, met for the first time in New York City through mutual friends at the opening of an upscale store in Soho. Britt had always dreamed of making her own fragrance, even as a little girl. And with Elisabeth’s background in cosmetics and fragrance marketing, the two friends set out on a mission.

They decided to create a men’s fragrance since there were so few on the market that they really liked. They wanted to make the sexiest fragrance possible and pay homage to their homeland by naming their product line, Kristiansand, after one of Norway’s most scenic coastal cities and Britt’s hometown.
