OHA! ........aha!?

I love the Dark Rebel, and that's why I thought to myself: "I didn't do anything wrong with the ratings - so let's go: blind buy!"
Think! Meanwhile - after many false blind purchases - I notice that the comments do not necessarily always go with my opinion d'accord...
Well, it's your own fault! ^^

It says, "The scent is aquatic-fresh."
Hmm, really? Aqva from BULGARI - that's aquatically fresh! But not that one!??
Okay - the first impression after spraying is r e l a t i v fresh. But this is reflected relatively quickly. And: it wasn't aquatic at all!
But it becomes completely different after about 1 hour until the end (about 6h): I thought long and hard about what it reminds me of (as already mentioned, I'm unfortunately not the "smeller" of all ingredients; but I'm better at comparisons - I think at least): 1881pour Homme by NINO CERRUTI!!
Yes! And what does that say? "The scent is fresh and woody."
Jaha - that's more like it!
Or?

I used to like him quite a bit. Actually, that was the office fragrance par excellence. But now he's too old-fashioned for me! Unfortunately!

Well - I'm curious about THE reactions!
;-)

Blind purchase successful!

After on YouTube only D&G LBI as a top recommendation for the summer is in circulation and this fragrance was smelled last summer already on every corner, it was time to find something new. By chance I came across the JV Artisan Blu and found him for about 30 euros in the 125 ml, ordered immediately!

After unpacking I was impressed by the flacon, makes what her without being kitschy. The sprayer is solala.
Now to the fragrance: The fragrance starts relatively boring, so actually something in the direction of 4711 or certain fragrances of the TF Aqua collection. After about ten minutes, however, it becomes incredibly fresh with a slightly spicy, citrus fruitiness. Due to the many fragrances difficult to smell exactly what, but the fragrance smells incredibly summery! The durability is ok but not special. 6-7 hours are in, but after a good 3-4 hours skin tight. But at 30 euros for 125ml you can confidently re-spray! I look forward to the summer season with JV Artisan Blu! For me, even better than the Artisan Pure

The perfect summer scent

How long in possession: since April 2020
Compliments: On cold days none, on warm days exclusively from women
Season: May - September
Age of the wearer: 20+
Location: Leisure time
Outfit: Casual
Reason for purchase: I wanted a fragrance that fits perfectly into my leisure time
Will be bought again: Yes, as long as the scent will be around for a long time (I read something about John Varvatos' bankruptcy and I'm afraid that the scent will be gone soon)
Blind purchase: Yes, I let myself be convinced by a very well-known YouTuber
Comment: Armed with chucks on your feet, linen pants and a Hawaiian shirt, you need exactly this scent in summer. As soon as the temperature goes over 22 degrees, I think the scent is just great. When it's cold, it doesn't show to advantage and is nothing special. Personally, I would never wear it in the office or to dinner.

Blue herb mix

A bright blue sky while I hear the wind blowing through the pine trees in the background. The mild spring lets the ground under my feet shine in a splendid green, I feel comfortable, pure and uncomplicated. I don't want to attract attention today, I don't want to seduce anybody, no. I just want to enjoy my walk through this beautiful Mediterranean landscape and breathe in the cool sea air.

I am surprised, my trip goes meanwhile already nearly 7 hours. I didn't think I'd been on the road that long. But that may be due to these gaudy lavender fields, or to the beautifully shaped Italian pines?

Sometimes a fragrance doesn't have to be complex or unique, because as long as it evokes unique moments and memories in you, it has achieved its goal. That's the kind of scenery that goes through my head when I spray Artisan Blu. It is uncomplicated and fresh, but at the same time it has something very natural, even nature-loving about it. You won't find a classic designer synthetics and bubblegum sweetness here, at least that's my opinion. What makes the fragrance so great for me, however, is the herbal mix in the fragrance pyramid.

I don't have any problems with durability here. As I describe above in my little story, this fragrance keeps on me well 7 or more hours. Of course, it is always close to the skin, but here you can confidently apply a few extra sprayers to improve the shelf life.

For me a cheap and great designer fragrance from the Artisan series

A walk through the summer garden with pond

Blu and aquatic-fresh are announced. But it was a little bit different than expected. The start is brilliantly fresh, spicy, slightly bitter. I can let it pass as fresh but less citric-fresh. But bergamot and orange let it be clearly perceived as a summer sun scent. But the herbaceous-spicy component is exciting. All in all it can be felt well in this combination for 2/3 hours. Then the scent changes to a woody-resinous one. The summer sun is setting quickly and there is not much left except a little orange. The lavender scent and the tart sage are still blowing around the corner but now we have clearly arrived on the wooden bench warmed by the sun. But not too dominant but fine and tender. I liked it
