Fragrance information:

Welcome to the world of exquisite perfumery! John Varvatos Artisan is a fragrance that captures the hearts of connoisseurs of freshness and elegance from the very first breath.

Released in 2009, it is an eau de toilette from the Artisan collection by the brand John Varvatos.

When in 2004, American designer of Greek origin John Varvatos decided to release his first fragrance, the world learned not just about a new perfume brand, but about an entire philosophy of style.

The John Varvatos brand was born from a passion for authenticity, and Artisan perfectly reflects this DNA, offering a modern take on classic motifs.

Identity and Release History: Artisan Eau de Toilette, known in Russia as 'John Varvatos Artisan', debuted in 2009 and immediately gained popularity among men seeking a fresh and refined scent.

It is part of the Artisan line, renowned for its handcrafted approach to perfumery, symbolizing craftsmanship and attention to detail.

This release marked the continuation of the brand's traditions, combining classical elements with modern accents, and became a benchmark for many fans of citrus and fougère notes.

Positioning and Wearability: Positioned as a men's fragrance, John Varvatos Artisan is an eau de toilette, providing light and refreshing longevity, ideal for daily use.

Its trail is subtly perceptible, making the scent delicate and unobtrusive, suitable for the office, dates, or warm spring-summer days.

Thanks to fresh citrus and elegant fougère chords, it imparts a feeling of vitality and confidence without overwhelming those around.

Authors and Influence: The creation of Artisan involved John Varvatos and Rodrigo Flores-Roux.

John Varvatos, as the brand founder, brought his vision of style and authenticity, while Rodrigo Flores-Roux, an experienced perfumer, added technical mastery and depth to the composition.

Their collaboration resulted in a fragrance that reinforces John Varvatos' reputation as a brand offering quality and stylish perfumery, inspired by handcrafted work and contemporary aesthetics.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The note pyramid of John Varvatos Artisan is a harmonious journey from freshness to depth, creating a multi-layered and memorable experience.

At the beginning, you are greeted by bright top notes: clementine, marjoram, tangerine, and thyme, which form an invigorating citrus-herbal start, reminiscent of sunny days.

In the heart of the fragrance, ginger, jasmine, lavender, and orange blossom unfold, adding spicy and delicate accents that smoothly intertwine.

The base consists of amber, wood notes, and musk, providing longevity and warmth, leaving a cozy and elegant trail on the skin.

This composition belongs to the citrus and fougère families, combining the freshness of the initial notes with the classic depth of the base for a balanced and inspiring fragrance.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

At first, I thought this fragrance would be a real find. Visually it's appealing, the bottle looks stylish, and the citrus notes promised freshness and vibrancy. But, unfortunately, it soon became too quiet and unexpressive. I expected it to unfold, but instead, it just faded away. Honestly, the disappointment lingers
3/5

The opening of the fragrance is simply explosive, the citruses are delightful and uplifting! 🌟 But, unfortunately, after half an hour it somehow lost its brightness, and a somewhat soapy, not very pleasant base took its place. The top notes are a clear four out of five, but everything else, alas, barely rates a two 😕
5/5

Bought it for my husband for winter, to try it out. The scent is simply gorgeous, citrusy, and very long-lasting 🍊
3/5

Something strange… I can't quite grasp it, but the feeling is painfully familiar. It's like going back to the era of stagnation… This scent reminds me of those times))) In some bright notes, it's clearly perceptible. Longevity is decent, lasting about eight hours )
5/5

The scent is really cool, original, and pleasant. It's not too intrusive and not sweet, which is great. In autumn, when it's cold, it's so nice to walk around and enjoy its notes on yourself. It's like it creates a cozy cloud of good mood around you. The longevity of the scent is impressive, and it doesn't overpower you with its strength. Even after several hours, I can still feel it on me. Overall, no need to talk much - I'm very happy I bought it )
2/5

At first, I really liked this scent, but after a couple of hours, its notes started to irritate me. They became too intrusive and chemical. It's such a shame, because at the beginning it seemed so great! )
3/5
3
At first, the scent gives the impression of something original and truly appealing. That's what attracted me. But then came a slight disappointment - something in it doesn't meet my expectations… perhaps it's related to the base or heart notes. I can't say I dislike the smell, but it somehow gradually and imperceptibly fades away
