John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal Eau de Toilette 125ml Spray

John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal Eau de Toilette 125ml is a fresh, coastal-inspired aromatic-aquatic masculine fragrance from the celebrated American menswear designer John Varvatos. Launched in 2022, this oceanic composition pairs a bright lemon-and-rosemary opening with a dewy heart of water lily and pink pepper — settling into a sea-spray base of mineral driftwood, grey sea salt and clean musk. A perfect evocation of rhythmic ocean waves and salty Mediterranean shorelines.

About John Varvatos

John Varvatos is an American luxury menswear designer who founded his eponymous label in 2000, celebrated for his rock-and-roll-inspired tailoring and modern American craftsmanship.

The character of the scent

XX Artisan Teal opens with a bright, sun-warmed citrus accord — clean lemon lifted by herbaceous rosemary. The heart introduces a dewy, slightly green aquatic quality — water lily paired with the subtle spice of pink pepper. The drydown is the signature coastal accord: mineral driftwood and grey sea salt wrapped around clean modern musk — a refined, relaxed and unmistakably oceanic finish.

Key benefits

• Fresh, coastal-inspired aquatic-aromatic signature with broad daily wearability.
• Generous 125ml flacon — exceptional value at this size.
• Modern, refined "salty wood" character — sits in the same family as cult niche aquatic fragrances.
• Particularly suited to spring/summer wear and warm-weather use.
• Beautifully crafted designer flacon — fits perfectly on a modern man's dressing table.

Who it's for

XX Artisan Teal is for men who love fresh, oceanic-inspired aromatic fragrances — fans of Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo, Davidoff Cool Water, or Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey will recognise the family. The mineral-and-sea-salt accord makes it especially well-suited to spring, summer and beach holidays, but the warm woody-musk base lets it work year-round. A natural choice for the modern, considered man who avoids loud designer fragrances.

How to wear it

1. Apply to clean, moisturised skin for best longevity.
2. Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. For a softer halo, mist once into the air and walk through it.
4. Avoid rubbing the wrists together — it bruises the bright lemon-rosemary opening.
5. Best worn for daytime, weekends and warm-weather occasions — but works year-round.
