John Varvatos Artisan EDT 125ml

Description

John Varvatos Artisan is a departure from the other scents in this line. While its predecessors were earthy and masculine with a touch of leather, John Varvatos cologne Artisan is citrusy, bright and fresh. The citrus notes are refreshing, but not usually linked with this designer. The spicy ginger mixed with the citrus notes give it a little kick that harkens back to Varvatos’ normal offerings, but it is subtle enough to keep the scent light and fresh.

John Varvatos Artisan has been described as a true work of art.

The top notes are many, with Sicilian clementine, Mandarin orange, tango fruit, Greek lavender, marjoram and wild thyme all making an appearance. They are masterfully blended to create a bright and fresh opening that lures people in, making them want to know more about the rest of the fragrance.

The heart brings even more orange with the scent of North African orange blossom, which is artfully complemented by Indian Murraya and three different types of ginger: purple ginger, Chinese ginger root and Nigerian ginger absolute. Orange is still the star, even as the top notes fade away, but the purposeful addition of ginger cut the citrus of the orange a little, making it warmer as the fragrance moves into the final act.

The dry down phase of John Varvatos Artisan is pure masculinity, with Kephalis wood, Geaorgewood, belleambre and serenolide, which gives it the musky finish that women find irresistible. Although the base is a little warmer than the rest of the fragrance, it is still lighter and fresher than other scents from this designer.
