This exhilarating citrus fragrance depicts the joy of a long summer weekend spent experiencing the great outdoors in its purest form. I decided to wear this in January colder weather because it's sweet, and boy did I make a huge breakthrough! It begins on (and consists largely of) different facets of oranges (clemintine's sweet and luscious scent, tangerine's juiciness and tangelo's smooth lightness) and combines them with wonderful herbal notes of marjoram and thyme making them much more aromatic.

im not crazy about them but i just bought them as i got into fragrances but after i bought artisan i've pretty much been only wearing this everywhere but do switch it up because i have some others in my collection. John Varvatos Artisan Eau De Toilette (125ml) is a fruity aromatic EDT for men, timelessly masculine with an exotic, modern edge. Electrifying citrus drenched in Sicilian clementine mixes with juicy tangelo fruit upon first encounter. The elegant, woody accords of the classic aftershave for men reflect a complex structure that is as versatile and rich in contrasts as the man who wears it. Discover the sensory allure of John Varvatos fragrances, an exquisite collection that redefines modern luxury.

I've received several compliments on it over the couple of months that I've owned it but I must say. Update: I just watched a video on YouTube and the reviewer (Malinee) mentioned this smelt like Orange Fanta/Mirinda (hypersweet orange carbonated water). Bold Orange Citrus is what you get off the bat and mainly throughout along with a light floral and bright linen clean like light freshness (maybe from the musk?

This is not a fragrance you wanna reapply coz it changes and, because it changes over a short period of time, the change is dramatic. Fragrance Fractions is in no way affiliated with, endorsed by or working in partnership with John Varvatos. After a tart opening it quickly settles down close to the skin - and disappears before you can enjoy its musky drydown.RECOMMENDATION: As most of the fragrances from this house, the performance is below average The combination of notes is highly pleasant, refreshing, and versatile, but the performance is unacceptable. The composition opens with Sicilian Clementine, Tangelo Fruit and Mexican Tangerine blending with aromatic Thyme, Spanish Marjoram and Greek Lavender. I see it as a missed opportunity, because it could have been great with better projection and longevity. Artisan rises above most citrusy scents and adds an elegance and depth not normally found in this particular olfactive family. I enjoy them both very much, but this one has less of a tangy brightness and has a soothing, almost watery coolness to it.
