Skill

Whatever 'sans artifice' is supposed to mean now in the context of the fragrance;
- here it means unadorned, look at Givenchy and in the vocabulary of Google it means - without artifice.
Artistry means skill, skill in any form whether craft, language or artistic to create works of art.
Now does it mean to have created this fragrance without artistry/ without skill?
Plump, unimaginative, without creativity without an idea, simply thrown together?!

I feel the fragrance as a work of art:
straightforward, clear, light, fresh, free, unrestricted and unaffected.

Starts with fresh, spicy ginger, cloaked by a slight pungency.

Tea, white tea and bergamot meet tangy. Rose also lingers, albeit in the background.
The tea seems tart, but I don't find it too masculine.
Bergamot takes out the tart a bit and sprinkles woody notes. Finishes with a fine, pure musk base.
Simple elegance and purity
- unadorned -

The fragrance could last longer; a pity
