The Scent DNA that leaves you craving for more
It was a dark and gloomy day, the clouds were immensely gray (that rhymed & didn't plan it) right out the door I put on my jean jacket and my all stars were on point. Went out for a drive and walked around the mall to do some shopping this is when I started to get the hints of the powerful citrus coming from the new release from the house of John Varvatos 'Artisan Pure'. After getting together with some friends and sushi a few hours into it I was still getting a nice sillage from it. Still not direct compliments as of yet but ladies reactions are fairly positive. The notes of Lemon and Bergamot are the ones that I notice the most. I got to say this scent dna reminds me somewhat of the all time classic & affordable 'ck. one'. If anyone else feels the same let me know. This is perfect for spring/summer day or night but it has this sense of romanticism in a very nostalgic route, let me explain. Imagine you're with a significant other by the water slowly kissing her and enjoying her presence while she continuously compliments how good you smell because of how much the scent lingers in the air. I say nostalgic because you're not dating this girl any more and when you put on "Artisan Pure" thoughts automatically take you back to that romantic date.
My overall assessment:
Great spring/summer wear could be even your signature scent. I have an issue with it in the performance category but it's not the type of fragrance that's going to be loud. This is more of the pleasant scent with decent projection. A great citrus scent but top notes die down quickly after 30-45 min. Versatility is king with this one.
Wonderful scent would totally recommend to add to your collection.
-performance: not great / just average
-presentation: 8.5
Sprays: 5-7
I always spray in the back of my hand because I like to constantly smell the fragrance transition in my skin.
I don't spray any perfume in my clothes — enough with the dna to automatically blend in from the skin with the clothes you're wearing.
