Varon Dandy Platinum (1995)
by Parera

Quite subtle and complex… the petitgrain comes on dominantly in the opening providing its citrus / herbal accord with a soft aromatic personality. To my nose the petitgrain and sage dominate with a diminutive lavender and anise shadowing it – it’s a rather sheer and dry herbal accord that I find very enjoyable in its uniqueness and discreetness. The heart notes continue the gentle aromatics with a soft cedar and geranium accord. Still very enjoyable and not very much different from the opening accord. For the skin scent-like base I get primarily moss and very little sweet. Varon Dandy remains dry, herbal, and subtle throughout its run resulting in a light and gentle masculine fragrance that is a very easy wear. Weak sillage and very good longevity.

Imagine an 80's style powerhouse fragrance made fresher and less potent but still maintain its quality and style. Varon Dandy is a wonderful revitalization of a classic style scent. Fresh oakmoss and citrus scent with woods in the drydown. Good stuff for those that don't want a heavy fragrance.
