![]() This is quite a pleasant smell, but if I were to choose a day wear scent there are better options out there, such as the Lacoste L12 and Acqua Di Gio. It’s not a very masculine fragrance, so if you like woods, musk and aromatic or spicy scents this is not one of them Having said that I always believe you need a lighter scent in your fragrance repertoire. ![]() It is quite light and sweet, and definitely one for day wear in the spring or preferably summer. The scent itself is a light and citrus type of smell, it has lots of orange type notes but the smell of the orange is not overpowering and you can easily smell the other notes. John Varvatos Artisan Pure Most popular and best selling 96.00 at 102. The bottle is very distinctive, and is a wicker basket style of bottle which will stand out on your shelf or in your drawer. If you can sample the two first, that is. Artisan was released in 2009, but like the other fragrances from John Varvatos they have not been too common up until recently in the UK. Artisan Blu carries the same theme as Acqua but it is more shower gel and therefore more blue, true to its name. I actually ended up buying Versace Man Eau Fraiche, Hermes Eau Givree, and Sauvage EDT (EDP is too weak, Parfum is trash, Elixir is more trash, don't me) for my summer arsenal.This week’s men’s aftershave review is John Varvatos Artisan Eau De Toilette. While I definitely believe in wearing colognes for yourself, it's not a good idea for a hetero guy to wear something women are repulsed by. John Varvatos Artisan Men EDT Spray // 2.5 oz. Unfortunately, if you watch Fragrance Room's videos where women react to this, nearly all of them hate this fragrance and rate it below 4/10. Stock up on your favorites or try something totally new with this collection of high-end luxury fragrances. My closing remark is that this feels like Versace pour Homme minus tonka bean and 4x the neroli - they are really that similar even though VPH lasts about an hour, is plain and boring, but also cheap. ![]() This is praised as the definitive vacation scent, but to me it's the definitive *beach* vacation scent with that south european twist and I almost feel like wearing this anywhere else would be out of place. This makes JVAP a more floral springtime scent whereas Sauvage is straight up "blue" that everyone "expects" a men's fragrance to smell like. Oversimplifying, Sauvage EDT takes the lemon cleaner smell edge off with black pepper the same way as JVAP does with floral and herbal notes. It's herbacious and floral enough for spring AND citrusy and floral enough for summer, AND cheap enough to overspray, AND a fairly safe scent (unless someone hates the smell of citrus blossom, in which case you should probably avoid that psychopath anyways).Įven though it's nothing like Sauvage, it still gets compared to the king of citrus and the king of ambroxan. It definitely gave me a headache because I can't stop enjoying this. this fragrance can be worn day to night, dressed up or down. It's Neroli Portofino Forte! If you don't believe me, check out the perfumer for both and notice it's the same gentleman behind both, and they are both his most popular fragrance (single). John Varvatos Artisan Acqua combines an invigorating citrus blend with accents of spices. AdG Absolu is extremely popular after the big bottles went 60% off on black friday 2022, but a sweet aquatic smells so "cologne-guy", a category almost as bad as "old man cologne guy".Īfter seeing JVAP called out in multiple videos, I tried on 4 sprays in Macy's and went right in. I see the Lacoste L1212 and Abercrombie First Instinct called out often, but smelling like melons is just such a strange concept to me. I found myself looking at top 10 videos from 2018 in desperate search of a spring/summer fragrance that was unique enough for me to enjoy and also mass-appealing enough so I could wear it without worrying about bad reactions, and affordable but also not cheapie smelling.
