About this deal

This, friends, is what we call a “summer banger”. And a head turner. Could never call this boring and without character. Are we talking about the same product? This is bold, confident perfumery. And like it or not (I like it) it’s original and unique.

John Varvatos' fragrance designed for the sophisticated man is on the road to becoming a classic. John Varvatos Artisan Pure And while marketed as a cologne targeted at met, I can easily see this being worn as a feminine scent, as well – the powdery drydown period really allows the fragrance to stay present in hot, humid weather whilst the thyme and citrus notes give it a new life, indoors. Overall, Artisan Pure reminds me of a more versatile and active version of 1-12 by Halston given its bright profile supported by a sensitive muskiness. Even though he was discontinued, I wanted to meet him. I tested it in spring / summer (i.e. as intended). If this is what the "flagship" of the John Varvatos brand looked like, it is not surprising to me that it is no longer with us.John Varvatos Artisan Pure is inspired by the verdant and lush hills of Xalapa, Mexico and its vast coffee and citrus groves. Redolent, luxurious citrus notes bring an understated elegance to modern, sun-warmed woods. The fragrance is a crisp, woody citrus scent, as refined as it is cool. Highlighted are three distinct types of petitgrains, which use all elements of the citrus tree: leaves, branches and tender fruit; as well as the best quality of orris. Artisan Pure zaps you with Italian citrus - I get mostly a deep, cloved orange that never leaves - and then adds woods that get smooth and creamy by the end. There’s an herbal quality to Artisan Pure, but it’s not the least bit green. That dark orange adds so much character. It’s tangy, spicy and sophisticated.

He is indifferent to his surroundings. Durability below average (which, paradoxically, may be its advantage ...) Artisan Pure is one of the most popular fragrances by John Varvatos and a perennial favourite. It has been turning heads since 2018. Sometimes known as aromatic water, eau de toilettes, such as this one, have a lower percentage of volatile oils than parfums do, routinely between 5-15%. Because they are lighter, they are a common choice for on-the-job wear. A Symphonic Composition Versatility: Given the underlying musk and amber, I can see Artisan Pure’s citrus and aromatic accords working from the beginning of spring until the end of fall! Overall: I am a huge fan of Artisan Pure! For the price, I can’t think of many high-performing hot-weather fragrances that are better. This is praised as the definitive vacation scent, but to me it's the definitive *beach* vacation scent with that south european twist and I almost feel like wearing this anywhere else would be out of place. My closing remark is that this feels like Versace pour Homme minus tonka bean and 4x the neroli - they are really that similar even though VPH lasts about an hour, is plain and boring, but also cheap.

Sillage: This is where Artisan Pure shines, I believe – one can instantly detect a hint of lemon, in the room, without being overpowered. After a moment, the lingering ginger and musk give this non-offensive Eau de Toilette a more subdued, yet pleasant presence. I’m a big fan of John Varvatos’ work in the fragrance, and Artisan Pure is a major reason why – following the brief opening period and throughout most of its drydown, one is able to smell strong accords of lemon, thyme, and mandarin orange with a brush of musk, to finish. Unlike similar summer-centric fragrances, Artisan Pure is rather complex, often revealing notes that I thought had long-since disappeared.The head of this EdT includes bergamot, mandarin, thyme, marjoram, lemon and mandarin orange. These make way for heart notes of ginger and Seville orange. As these waft away, they expose the base of musk, iris root, woodsy notes and ambergris. John Varvatos Fragrances: Pricing What can I say? Well, it is a scent without character and totally boring. It's hard to find anything interesting in it. Oh, monotonous citrus, the "quality" of which is, at best, average.
