John Varvatos will launch John Varvatos For Women in February. The floral chypre fragrance was developed by perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, and is meant to be “feminine and sexy”. The scent…
…features nuances of amber and fruit. In addition to aromatic grappa, the scent's top notes include Georgian apricot, Damascus plum and golden mandarin. At the heart of the scent are accords of rubrum lily, Indian mango blossom, Egyptian jasmine and Turkish rose. The base of the scent includes oakmoss, patchouli, tonka beans and wild honey
John Varvatos will be exclusive to Saks Fifth Avenue before going into wider distribution. It will be available in 15 ml Parfum, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, and in matching body products. (via Women's Wear Daily)

I have to say I love the first Varvatos for Men scent, used dates beautifully. Very rich and luxurious. I'm hoping from the notes the the women's will have that same rich feel. Love the bottle.
and someone fan me – does it really say floral CHYPRE and then OAKMOSS in the notes?
Well, we know that either a) there are only very small amounts or b) it's synthetic or c) they're going to put an allergy warning on the label (which isn't likely).
Pretty bottles! Nice change after so many square bottles.
Maybe we ought to buy some fresh oakmoss, rub it on our skin and then spray a scent over it
I love this perfumer's work — Black Cashmere! Gold! — and the notes sound right up my alley. Could be a truly beautiful scent for many of us!
I loved the original on my man, and he's got the new vintage edition under the tree waiting for him. Maybe I've seen too many fragrance commercials but I have always wanted to have matching his and her perfume! The description sounds promising, and that bottle is just gorgeous.
I like his work too — this will be worth trying.
LOL — there is something compelling about his 'n hers perfumes, isn't there? I like the bottle too.
I like the bottles. very mod.
Yep.
We just got it at Nordies! It's really, really nice. The grappa top note is very pronounced, then it dies back and the other notes kick in. It's a keeper for me. And the bottle is lovely. Can't wait to read NST's review!
I still haven't tried it, but it does sound nice!
I smelled it in the store and loved it instantly. It is a keeper.
Still have not smelled this one…
I dont know how well this ones done? I found lots of the 1.6oz bottles at Marshalls today for $20! Thats really good right! I only got one but I should really go back for more. 2 wks ago I found Believe(3.3oz) there for $20 and there was like 20 of them and 2day they were all gone!! I should have stocked up! Im so pissed!
I don’t know either, but it certainly isn’t much “talked about” online that I can see. Believe I’m pretty sure did not sell well.
