Have to ask after the time past what they’ve had with all of these releases why haven’t they made 1 that performance is good? They hire good perfumers who are given a briefing on what they want made and obviously they must be getting told to make short performance ones lol
So I was looking for a run down of JV perfumes and I was hoping to find one from you Ross. That’s how I know you are the best perfume reviewer I know on RUclips these days.
Great video, always appreciate your rankings. It would be interesting to see your opinion on a "one fragrance house for the rest of my life" kind of video; you could rank your current favorite houses and a fragrance or two from each. If you ever make one, I'd watch it.
First got artisan pure. It started my fragrance journey. Ended up gifting it to my brother after a year. It eventually reminded me of pine sol and I couldn’t get that out of my head. Just got artisan XX. Omg I love it so much. Fresh very spicy. Earthy and very piney to me. It’s incredible!
good evening thank you for this as i had been confused with every single john v fragrance as there are so many, but the best i've heard reviews from were john varvatos artisan pure and black and normal.
The original Dark Rebel is one of my favorite frags hands down. I love the stuff, I even get a slight axel grease note way down in the base (it's pretty subtle) which reminds me of my childhood, I wish it wasn't discontinued.
Great review of an underrated house! Loooove Dark Rebel and think Rider is good also. I tried Artisan Blu but thought it way too green for my taste lol. Have XX Indigo on the way and can’t wait!
i love this line. this was a comprehensive list and video.great work!!!!!! my fav JV XX Artisan has a great citrus / vetiver vibes lov!! and Artisan/Artisan Pure with Red in there . il do that one today :) my fav green had to say is Banana Republic Vintage 78 with the tea note . and i know a little off topic : ). wanna find the Dark Rebel and ill grab Indigo next time i see it :)
XX Artisan (silver wicker bottle) is my favorite, but I get by far the most compliments from Artisan Blu. After this, I need to give Artisan Teal a try!
I agree... when keep i cant stop smellin myself like a weirdo lol... that's a good one. That's what vintage did to me... reminds me of first time I lathered myself in ysl la nuit ha... that sweet spicy rhubarb is yummy... artisan blu fades on my skin in minutes
Whats up Ross what's good TLTG Family I only own 1 from the house artisan pure to me gives off a CK One vibe sotd azzaro the most wanted parfum everyone stay safe stay blessed enjoy your day ✌️
I managed to grab a Dark Rebel for under $40, which is a steal for what it's selling for on Ebay. Wow, is that not for me! I'm running head first into 60 years old so I don't think it's a maturity issue. I will hang on to it until winter to be sure before it goes on the trade block. Thanks for the list!
That Artisan Teal, I swear last week I was going to buy it. I had it in my shopping cart, but ended up going with other fragrances. I was checking Fragrancebuy and Perfumebox and it's sold out now.
The og artisan is amazing and top 5 of all time frags for me. Spray on clothes and spray heavy. Works fine in comparison to other light summer fragrances
I don't have any perfume anymore. I'm looking for 1x daily, 1x summer, 1 winter/date. I'm 52 years old, sporty, middle east, unshaven type & I work with music, photography, video. Which 3 from J.V. would you recommend to me ? 🙏🏼
At 52 you should go with the following. Instead of daily you're better off with 1 signature scent per season: Spring: Artisan Blue Summer: Artisan Original or Artisan Pure Fall: Varvatos Vintage (Ideal for guys 40+) Winter/Date: Varvatos Original (Smooth leather)
I’m a fan of JV fragrances they remain underrated which I am kind of glad. My Sotd: banana republic leather reserve 83 and I am really liking this fragrance
I’ve gotten tons of compliments from men and women from xx heritage. It projects off my skin very well and last on my skin for 8 plus hours and stays in my clothes for days!!
I got the Varvatos X Nick Jonas silver based on a past review you did and while I really love the smell it is very weak in performance and I have other similar frags that perform way better. Seems like the running theme from what I hear about Varvatos is they just don't perform that long. If they had longer staying power it would be a better house.
John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider, I have it but don't wear it often but when I do I get the leather but I get raspberry for some reason on the dry down. I have Vintage but rarely wear it but I got because of Justin. I have Artisan but just doesn't perform. Stay safe. SOTD JACQUES BOGART HOMME
I have 7 from the Varvatos house. Based on smell only, and not performance, my rankings are: 1. Vintage (By large margin) 2. Dark Rebel (Best biker scent of all time) 3. Artisan (Summer Beach Night) 4. Original (Leather Jacket mandatory) 5. Pure (White shirt mandatory) 6. Rider (Similar to Dark Rebel but a sour smell that ruins it) 7. Aqua (Weak and boring smell)
So I noticed that you are missing one of JVs best my friend! If you can find it and are willing to take the dive, Oud is a CAN'T MISS fragrance my friend! You also mentioned what your two favorite "green dominant" fragrances are. My friend, you MUST get your nose on Guerlain Vetiver! That one may just slot in there somewhere! True MASTERPIECE! Oh, I'm lounging around the house tonight and I have Azzaro The Most Wanted on, smelling like a Heath bar! 😂😂
Dark Rebel was probably my best TJ Maxx pick up ever I got a 75ml for 15 bucks about 4 years ago. My fiancée wanted me to wear something I thought would vibe with the newer Batman movies and I went with that. I got a couple compliments on the way to the movies.
Love Varvatos fragrances. I would take the Dark Rebel Rider off your hand if you do not want it😅 Imposible to find that anywhere, at least at a reasonable price. Let me know if you want to get rid of it . Also sport bike rider myself, but I wouldn't mind wearing that. All the best ✌️
These are so bad on performance that I have to take these with me. They're in the back of the shelf. Even when I go to the gym and I'm never at the gym more than 2 hours
Hahaha, perhaps it's just me. But I won't recommend anyone getting the Artisan pure. Total shit. It smells like orange extract. I bought it. I almost threw it away. Nothing good about it. Weak performance too. It's almost like they just squeezed oranges into perfume bottles and sell.
For me artisan blu smells like a cheap 5$ deodorant my dad used to buy, yes its grassy and not blue, very old school. Something a man in their 45s would wear, with a jeans jacket and a moustache. 😅😅😅😅 Just my opinion
Smelled the original Artisan on a flight attendant years ago and i had to ask him what he had on 😂 Is the Zaharoff shipping today? Itching to get my bottle 😁
Varvatos would be a top tier house if they would craft fragrances that lasted longer
Have to ask after the time past what they’ve had with all of these releases why haven’t they made 1 that performance is good? They hire good perfumers who are given a briefing on what they want made and obviously they must be getting told to make short performance ones lol
Just spray more, it’s really about smell not longevity
Artisan Blu is in my top 5 fragrances all time. I love that you show love to some of the overlooked creations.
I have Artisan, Artisan Black, And Artisan Pure. Love all three.
Love this house ranking content, great stuff. This house puts out some nice scents, awesome for the money
So I was looking for a run down of JV perfumes and I was hoping to find one from you Ross. That’s how I know you are the best perfume reviewer I know on RUclips these days.
Need to try the out! I was very skeptical, but it’s amazing
Still rather new to the fragrance game. But i just ordered a full bottle of artisan pure after smelling a sample and absolutely fell in love with it..
Crazy seeing your transformation Mann so proud mannn it’s crazy
This vid is a Godsend! I was just trynna figure out which one smells great with decent performance 😊
I have Dark Rebel & Artisan, I have to check out XX Artisan Teal and Artisan Blu. I am glad you did this House review.
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of this brand and have a blessed day
Great video Ross!!! The fragrance brand ranking video I did not know I needed!!!
Yes indeed- another ranking video!! 👍🏾🤝🏾
I really like these ranking videos! Great selections man!
Great video, always appreciate your rankings. It would be interesting to see your opinion on a "one fragrance house for the rest of my life" kind of video; you could rank your current favorite houses and a fragrance or two from each. If you ever make one, I'd watch it.
Keep these ranked videos coming 🔥 might be time to update the Hugo Boss one would appreciate that
Gotta get my nose on that Artisan Blu. Love the brand, I got Dark Rebel and Artisan Pure. Great video!
The XX black bottle is so freaking good, especially for the price and performs better than most expensive designers 👍
Great list 😃 appreciate you always
First got artisan pure. It started my fragrance journey. Ended up gifting it to my brother after a year. It eventually reminded me of pine sol and I couldn’t get that out of my head.
Just got artisan XX. Omg I love it so much. Fresh very spicy. Earthy and very piney to me. It’s incredible!
good evening
thank you for this as i had been confused with every single john v fragrance as there are so many, but the best i've heard reviews from were john varvatos artisan pure and black and normal.
Best Varvatos line review I watched
The original Dark Rebel is one of my favorite frags hands down. I love the stuff, I even get a slight axel grease note way down in the base (it's pretty subtle) which reminds me of my childhood, I wish it wasn't discontinued.
The XX EDT in the black is really good!
Great review of an underrated house! Loooove Dark Rebel and think Rider is good also. I tried Artisan Blu but thought it way too green for my taste lol. Have XX Indigo on the way and can’t wait!
Very good video. Congratulations! Am I the only one who noticed that the tattoo on his arm looks like the drawing on the cap of the dark rebel rider?
It's called a fleur-de-lis, and it's a big part of the culture in Louisiana. Which I was born and raised in Louisiana. I also pointed it out...
Artisan Pure is one of my Summer go to fragrances
If you had to pick your go to summer fragrance from the house what would you prefer ?
i love this line. this was a comprehensive list and video.great work!!!!!! my fav JV XX Artisan has a great citrus / vetiver vibes lov!! and Artisan/Artisan Pure with Red in there . il do that one today :) my fav green had to say is Banana Republic Vintage 78 with the tea note . and i know a little off topic : ). wanna find the Dark Rebel and ill grab Indigo next time i see it :)
I have Artisan Pure,Dark Rebel, and the original. Love them.
Artisan pure is pure shit. It smells exactly like orange extract.
great review it's the only one made in the USA from Vegas wheelchair larry
XX Artisan (silver wicker bottle) is my favorite, but I get by far the most compliments from Artisan Blu.
After this, I need to give Artisan Teal a try!
Great job Ross
🔥shirt nice review and choice’s from John Varvatos love the video Ross stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
My favorite is JV Vintage. Awesome fragrance.
I agree... when keep i cant stop smellin myself like a weirdo lol... that's a good one. That's what vintage did to me... reminds me of first time I lathered myself in ysl la nuit ha... that sweet spicy rhubarb is yummy... artisan blu fades on my skin in minutes

Awesome fragrance lineup
I heard the new John Varvatos XX intense is pretty strong. Can't wait to try it when it cubes down in price
JV Platinum is hard to find but so damn good, it's my favorite.
Does anyone get Irish spring soap smell from artisan blue? :) good reviews man! Thank you!
The og artisan is amazing and top 5 of all time frags for me.
Spray on clothes and spray heavy. Works fine in comparison to other light summer fragrances
I love Jhon varvatos perfums i have 3 and i wanna all hi from Colombia great Chanel !!

@@MFGmatch ok thank you ! I will order them 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Artisan Blu was the first JV I tested and so far its still my favorite
I agree with the Dark Rebel Rider, but it is very situational. I might wear it three times a year.
I’m a fan of JV fragrances they remain underrated which I am kind of glad. My Sotd: banana republic leather reserve 83 and I am really liking this fragrance
XX heritage is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My top 2 are Artisan Pure and Dark Rebel. 1 summer and 1 winter.
My wife loves when I wear the JV Vintage!!!!
My wife's favorite as well

I love the Nick Jonas Blue so much one of my first colognes I ever got. Just recently got Artisan Blue it is just so amazing.
Dark rebel and rider both are what i wear when im on my bike and i am full patch 😆
Same here 💯 🗽
Best biker scents of all time patch or not
John Varvatos Dark Rebel Rider, I have it but don't wear it often but when I do I get the leather but I get raspberry for some reason on the dry down. I have Vintage but rarely wear it but I got because of Justin. I have Artisan but just doesn't perform. Stay safe. SOTD JACQUES BOGART HOMME
Rebel rider is my favorite frag of all time. And he voted it last. It's a vibe and I wear that shit during an office job. Screw it.
I got lucky and got a bottle of Artisan Black early last year and I recently got a decant of Artisan Pure
Great video today one of my favorite house , have 9 different scent sotd Creed Virgin Islands water 💦 👍🔥💯
I have 7 from the Varvatos house. Based on smell only, and not performance, my rankings are:
1. Vintage (By large margin)
2. Dark Rebel (Best biker scent of all time)
3. Artisan (Summer Beach Night)
4. Original (Leather Jacket mandatory)
5. Pure (White shirt mandatory)
6. Rider (Similar to Dark Rebel but a sour smell that ruins it)
7. Aqua (Weak and boring smell)
Crimson is the only one from this brand that I've actually sampled and like. So far

My rank for JV is
1. Vintage
2. Dark Rebel
3. Artisan Pure

No sir. I review and discuss fragrance online. Every bottle is a point of reference
Understood, just tried my luck, can't blame me for trying 😊 Keep up the good work, appreciate your videos.
@@TLTGReviews Why would you buy full bottles for point of reference? Wouldn't samples be a better choice?
@ScottDavis-ty7wh when I got it, it wasn't meant for point of reference. It's shaking out that way because it's not my style
XX Artisan is my kind of scent! I have Vintage and Artisan Pure. Pick up Teal later down the road. I have Turathi Blue from Afnan on the way.
I may be crazy but am I the only one that gets a lot of the ysl y DNA in heritage xx? Like ysl with coffee?
Artisan Blu is so unusual...nothing like it.
Where does Platinum fit into this list?
I've never tried it
JV with some solid offerings.
Jeremy fragrance was saying back in the days artisan pure is one of the best for the summer
Yeah well. Nope. It has a cloying synthetic "tea" note that that just smells cheap... don't do it
John varvatos artisan blu Tell me it doesn’t smell like a modern drakkar noir lol 😆 but is my second favorite to artisan pure
Looks like all good fragrance from JV..not single one on your 15 JV fragrance you mentioned bad
Which one to get for a 45 year old dad as a gift?
JV is amazing just no longevity. J
I don't mind reapplying. Received ton of compliments
Everything from this house smells good.
I get decent Varvatos longevity on the majority of these
You need jv xx intense …
These are so bad on performance that I have to take these with me. They're in the back of the shelf. Even when I go to the gym and I'm never at the gym more than 2 hours
Timestamps man
Nah. Just sit back and enjoy the video like you would anything else that you would watch on Netflix, Hulu, Max, etc.
@@TLTGReviews nah. Just get with the times
@@TLTGReviews I'm actually doin this right now, about 3 episodes deep
Dark Rebel and Dark Rebel Rider is what Skeletor and Ministry Darkness of Undertaker/Damien Priest would smell like respectfully 🤣
Own maybe 5 Varvatos and I never touch them because of the poor performance
Hahaha, perhaps it's just me. But I won't recommend anyone getting the Artisan pure. Total shit. It smells like orange extract. I bought it. I almost threw it away. Nothing good about it. Weak performance too. It's almost like they just squeezed oranges into perfume bottles and sell.
For me artisan blu smells like a cheap 5$ deodorant my dad used to buy, yes its grassy and not blue, very old school. Something a man in their 45s would wear, with a jeans jacket and a moustache. 😅😅😅😅 Just my opinion
Agreed, it is for a 30 plus for sure. Most of JV are until the 2nd gen
Smelled the original Artisan on a flight attendant years ago and i had to ask him what he had on 😂
Is the Zaharoff shipping today? Itching to get my bottle 😁
Zaharoff isn't open on weekends
