Meet Oud on your own skin
Oud by John Varvatos is a perfume, and this page is about trying it in a small size. No note list is on record with us for this perfume, and we do not guess one. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.

On the skin
You will not find top, heart and base notes for John Varvatos Oud here. They are not on record with us, and guessing is not how we write these pages. Your own nose gets used to a scent quickly, so ask someone near you what they notice.
John Varvatos Oud has the status on request. The page is here so you can tell us you are interested; the sizes open up once we can fill the sample. We make no promise about timing. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume.
Your sample of John Varvatos Oud is a decant: the perfume is taken from the original bottle by FragranceGems and filled into a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml. The vial carries our own label. Keep the vial away from heat and direct sunlight, as you would a full bottle.
Testing it
Our data does not say whether John Varvatos Oud is meant for warm or cold days, so test it in both if you can. Ask someone you trust what they notice, because your own nose adapts quickly. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
We hold no data on who Oud is meant for, so we do not label it. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. If you are choosing a gift, testing it yourself first tells you what you are giving. It is for the careful chooser and for the curious one.
A sample of Oud answers the two things that matter: whether you like it, and whether you still like it on the fifth wearing. The vial is filled and labelled by us, FragranceGems, from the original bottle. It is not an official brand sample and we are not affiliated with the house.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.
A decant is not an official brand sample: no box, no original bottle, and we are not affiliated with the brands.

Yes. The liquid is taken from the original bottle of John Varvatos Oud and filled into a glass spray vial by FragranceGems. The vial carries our own label, so it is a decant and not a sample made by the brand.
No note list is on record with us for John Varvatos Oud, and we only print notes we can trace to a source. The sample lets you judge the perfume without a list.
Probably not exactly. Skin, weather and the amount you apply all change how a perfume comes across, which is the reason to wear John Varvatos Oud yourself before deciding.
The brand
We list 4 perfumes by John Varvatos as samples. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. You find John Varvatos among the designer perfume samples. Trying two or three of them side by side shows what the house is about on your own skin.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
