I agree first time I smelled it, it was love at first sniff. The sales lady described it as smelling like earth after it rains mixed with fresh cut oranges. There’s something truly special about this fragrance. Excellent review, very professional and educational.
@@CALIREIGN-ks3mv you replied to a comment I made almost 4 years ago🤡, I actually love the fragrance now an I have other fragrances that smell similar like Xerjoff nio for ex
Forget Dunhill Icon Racing, John Varvatos Artisan Pure is the true 2018 Spring/Summer hype frag! With Invictus Aqua skyrocketing in price due to a poor reformulation, Artisan Pure is the hot affordable frag for this year! Thanks for the great review!
First of and foremost I want to commend you on how you. Keep our attention when you introduce us to a new Fragrance.The way you present you're reviews are precise. And even though we are not all going to enjoy everything the next person likes. You intrigue us to step outside our comfort zone. To test Fragrances we normally wouldn't look at.Since you have that beard You're like the young Chuck Norris of Fragrances.. Thank you for all what you do bro🤙🏾
There aren't many fragrance houses where i love all offerings,,, but I absolutely love everything that varvatos has put out, and. And artisan pure is no exception....... I do wish some of the others had better performance, such as vintage, which other then pure, is my favorite.....
This comes pretty close to being a niche quality fragrance. One of the best almost - French - high quality type citrus colognes around. Pretty impressive.
The best by miles on RUclips, it’s a criminal offence that you have less subscribers than Jeremy , great scent this one Steven , might get this to rotate with my Acqua Di Gio Profumo special blend this spring
Thank you, brother. Jeremy is great. Subscribers are nice to have, and I love the growth because it helps me spread the passion I have for fragrances. I'm thankful for people such as yourself you watch and support. Thank you for that.
I think what sets Flores-Roux apart is his liberal use of herbal greens in his fragrances like sage, basil, pine, juniper, palmarosa, cypress and others. This tends to give his freshies a slightly more mature or old school feel, but I love that about Varvatos. It's a modern blast from the past and remains my second favourite designer house, despite its reputation for poor longevity.
It's an original take on citrus. I love the scent and it's really hard to dislike it. Most Varvatos fragrances are good but they are all facing the same problem and that's the performance.
I was surprised how much I liked it when I tested it at my local macys. Very different from the other ones that to me give off a mature/older gentlemen vibe. Good for a casual spring/summer weekend.
I really wanted to buy this one for my dad for his upcoming birthday. He still buys the original vintage that I got him years ago but unfortunately I couldn't find this at discounters yet (also Notino looks like they're still updating their site) so I got Artisan Aqua instead. I'm cheap so I'd hate to pay retail especially since they become so HEAVILY discounted once they hit those sites. Great to see you back professor. Always a pleasure seeing once your reviews.
3 years late, but I just found a bottle of this at TJ Maxx today for $40. I understand it's discontinued, so I had to pick it up. Can't believe how utterly citrusy this is. Bergamot, lemon, key line, mandarin orange. I wanted something for the ultra hot summer days coming up, and this may just do the trick. Looking forward to putting it through its paces!
I live in a kind of tropical island... warm weather, high humidity percentage, bright sunlight... I think this fragrance is perfect for me and my situation, don´t you think?. Congrats for your great channel!
You are one of the very bests that we have in our fragcom Steven! The way you describe it makes me wanna leave my house right now run to the nearest perfume boutique and buy it! Keep it up !
Big fan of Varvatos. Know they usually get a bad rap for longevity etc., but because they smell so good, I can live with that. Always appreciate your vids.
I am glad that John Varvatos has come out with a linear citrus fragrance for the spring, if it ever comes. I always liked his original fragrance with its woodsy, vanilla tones. Great review, Steven.
I want this for next spring and summer. Thanks for the great review, I feel better about this fragrance. I smelled it today cause i am looking for something for next Spring and possibly Summer. I am a fan of John Varvatos fragrances. No one I know or many people in my town use this fragrance, cause they like more popular names here. I always buy a fragrance I like I know a lot of women haven't smelled on a guy yet here in my town. Just know what men in my town typically like in this town it's so easy to buy something different and unique.
The vivacious citrus opening is beautiful but unfortunately this soon morphs into something mundane and generic. I would prefer a linear experience for this one with the great opening never going through the exit.
Hey Stephen i got this a few months ago and omg its a good one from John Varvatos, It kinda reminds me of English Leather but its way cleaner and more bright, Lovely juice man and it last forever, Was in the hospital for a few days and had this in my bag for my stay, Nurses went nuts over it so the ladies will love it, One stopped by Macys on her way home and picked it up for her husband lol, Love the sent great review
This is an incredibly fresh lemon/lime scent that is unique because the open and dry down are different yet complimentary. One of my new favorites. Just subscribed. Scent community is super interesting. cheers
Notino UK for very little dosh today. Blind buy and its mild but great. I buy for myself not beasts to impress others so this frag is great for me. 🇬🇧 Nice presentation.
Definitely getting this one next, I’ve been too preoccupied with your other recommendations😅 your reviews are always appreciated I’m really enjoying Jean Paul Guiltier original and ultra male that I’ve just acquired recently and got my wife JPGuiltier Classique👌🏼 you know you are the best mate awesome review once more👍🏼
I hated this at first still not my favorite but I’m not going to give up on it just yet. My nose has grown since I first started collecting and I admit I appreciate it more now.
Very nice review! First one I have seen on this fragrance! I had a sample for a few days. The scent is real quality but it just didn't last as long as I hoped it would. Each time it would die after 3 hours. I'm a little disappointed about that but nonetheless great scent.
I've waited for a couple of time just to see your new review and glad that you've come back! A wonderful review also this time Steve.. Just curious about which one do you prefer between this and TDH edt.. Please lemme know.. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Hey redolessence. Huge fan of you and bfl you guys are my two favorite on RUclips. I live in Mississippi. A small town where fragrance isn't a big deal. There's this small perfume store and high end jewlery place and I went in there once and asked if he had aventus. He said he got it many years ago and never sold because no one wants to pay so much. Saw the batch and it ended up being a 2011 z01 batch. Now I can't afford that in my wildest dreams but just because I can't afford it doesn't mean I shouldn't help someone else who loves it to get it. So if you'd like since I know you love it so much I can buy it and send it to you and if you like it then send the money back to me or if you don't then send the bottle bqack and I'll return it to the guy within his 14 day Grace period. Anyways just let me know brother
Great review Bro. I haven’t checked any John Varvatos fragrances lol. This one really interests me. I feel like it’ll be great for spring/Summer. Thanks Steven ✌🏻
Steven, nice to see you again! Great review, thank you so much for your insight!! I'm VERY intrigued with a Zara fragrance called Waimea - it is similar to Versace Eros, maybe a little bit of Le Male. Could you review it? The more I smell it, the more I like it - I'd love an expert's take on it
Steven, great review as always. Very educational and informative. Please make an unbiased reviews on Hawas by Rasasi (very curious on your thoughts) and Pacific Rock Moss (a hype is going on with this one, price vs scent quality). Thank you.
Artisan Pure,It's cool it"s a exact copy of old school Grey Flannel cologne or Hermes Eau de narcisse blue and doesn't perform near as long as the Hermes
Very +ve review. I did not watch such +ve review for a while. Most of the reviewers see nothing new with the latest releases and companies are copying each other. I have to give it a try.
Just had a good day rack store by is hunting this and the original artisan 4.2 for 30$ a piece also gift set Moschino toy boy 50$ and commodity vetiver for 30$$ very happy
Sad to See it Discontinued, here in Aus I found it at a Myers but then was removed, made me move my hand quicker getting it at David Jones for two bottles.
Hi Steven, I've been binge watching a lot of cologne videos and I feel quite overwhelmed. I find the top 10/list style videos the best in order to understand a lot of information quickly and I'm trying to get a budget cologne (ideally under $30) that is versatile for school, as well as the evening/date night scenarios. Right now, I'm leaning to Montblanc Invidiuel, Nautica Voyage, and Armaf Club de Nuit. They all seem to top lists and are popular but I can't decide between which one. Do you have a recommendation considering my priorities for a versatile and inoffensive (but commonly complimented) scent?
Hey Steven, There's a fragrance that i keep hearing very good things about and i dont think that you have done a review on it as of yet. Please see if you can check out and review Mercedes Benz Le Parfum and give us your take on it. I just ordered it myself and I am waiting to see what its about. One review that I saw said it has similar traits to La Yuqawam by Rasasi which I think is a niche quality gem.
Great reveiw as always there’s this collection I’d like to see you reveiw it’s called type o negative it’s named after a band all the names of them are bames of there songs There all edp is like to here what you think
Hi there love following ur channel . Getting very informed :) Question: I’m going on a cruise and was thinking Neroli Portofino forte could work for lounging, adventuring when we port, and dancing in the club on the boat. Your thoughts?
Most educated, well explained frag reviewer on the tube...well done as always sir...thank you
I agree
Me also
@@PRrrr_neutral me too
You could have written “Fragrance” and “RUclips”! 😀
I agree first time I smelled it, it was love at first sniff. The sales lady described it as smelling like earth after it rains mixed with fresh cut oranges. There’s something truly special about this fragrance. Excellent review, very professional and educational.
AnimeGamingLifting me to lol I was like yes sir
It seems like I am the only one that hates this fragrance. It smells like grass and lemon to me an I hate it
@@DA-db9bi hated it so much you had to post the same comment multiple times huh? Yikes.
@@CALIREIGN-ks3mv you replied to a comment I made almost 4 years ago🤡, I actually love the fragrance now an I have other fragrances that smell similar like Xerjoff nio for ex
My wife says you’re the best fragrance reviewer.
Willy Ward Thank you so much!
I just got this sample in the mail. I am in absolute awe of this! It smells like an exotic CHAMPAGNE! Best summer scent I have smelled yet.
I'm so glad you like it, Nathan!

It's great, isn't it?
Redolessence great great
I can't, for the life of me, extract any performance out of this in spite of applying 15 sprays. What's wrong here?
So glad I copped this gem before the hype train! Really love this one. Excellent review, as always!
How long does it last?
This comes pretty close to being a niche quality fragrance. One of the best almost - French - high quality type citrus colognes around. Pretty impressive.
Thank you for watching!
I agree it smells niche
This is amazing just blind bought a 125 ml bottle for 20 bucks at tj max. What a deal. I absolutely love it!
The best by miles on RUclips, it’s a criminal offence that you have less subscribers than Jeremy , great scent this one Steven , might get this to rotate with my Acqua Di Gio Profumo special blend this spring

Neal Francis jerremy is more a show man , than a real reviewer...
Layer this with cahsee and tell me what u think
No need to compare these guys, that's immature.
Can you recommend a really nice fragrance that's FREASH /CLEAN.
NOT CITRUS
NOT fruity, not sweet, not a candy scent.
Hi Steven
Could not agree more with your assessment. Artisan Pure is a slam dunk, and really unique.
Thank you for watching!
I think what sets Flores-Roux apart is his liberal use of herbal greens in his fragrances like sage, basil, pine, juniper, palmarosa, cypress and others. This tends to give his freshies a slightly more mature or old school feel, but I love that about Varvatos.

It's an original take on citrus. I love the scent and it's really hard to dislike it. Most Varvatos fragrances are good but they are all facing the same problem and that's the performance.
I can't go buy a cologne without checking in with your reviews first. You are the man!
I was surprised how much I liked it when I tested it at my local macys. Very different from the other ones that to me give off a mature/older gentlemen vibe. Good for a casual spring/summer weekend.
Agree!
I really wanted to buy this one for my dad for his upcoming birthday. He still buys the original vintage that I got him years ago but unfortunately I couldn't find this at discounters yet (also Notino looks like they're still updating their site) so I got Artisan Aqua instead.

Great to see you back professor. Always a pleasure seeing once your reviews.
Just bought this for my teenager who wants to try wearing cologne... thanks for your video!
You're so welcome!
My top favorite of john varvatos's fragrance...
Runner-up: Vintage
2nd runner-up: Artisan Acqua
3rd runner-up: Artisan
Idk if anyone else gets this but I get the CREAMIEST lemon scent from this fragrance and I'm obsessed with it. It's perfect

Just recently bought me a bottle from Marshall's. So many good colognes that men pass up at Marshall's.
I'm glad you like it!
Just got mines from Marshall’s as wel 24 $ very nice fragrance
@@arthurdelacruz6879 It seems like im the only one that absolutely hates this fragrance. It smells like grass and lemon and I hate it

Agreed !
Smelled this on summer day at the beach in socal, wow perfect smell for the heat
I have Dark Rebel. Love it and love that Varvatos isn't afraid to be daring with frags. I'm excited about Artisan Pure.
Big fan of Varvatos. Know they usually get a bad rap for longevity etc., but because they smell so good, I can live with that. Always appreciate your vids.
Thank you so much!
Local Sephora does not house John Varvatos...shame, would love to try this
I am glad that John Varvatos has come out with a linear citrus fragrance for the spring, if it ever comes. I always liked his original fragrance with its woodsy, vanilla tones. Great review, Steven.
Wow just so happens I picked this up after work this afternoon, and you put out a review which is spot on, great observation on a great fragrance.
I want this for next spring and summer. Thanks for the great review, I feel better about this fragrance. I smelled it today cause i am looking for something for next Spring and possibly Summer.

Nice review, I really need to try this
Thanks, brother! I love your recent Sauvage EDT and EDP comparison.
Clear, concise and informative as always Stephen. Watched your review and have just purchased it as I needed a summer fragrance for my collection.
Just go this about a month ago and im so ready to wear this when it warms up. Kinda reminds me of slightly sweet version of Neroli Portofino Forte.
Hey Stephen i got this a few months ago and omg its a good one from John Varvatos, It kinda reminds me of English Leather but its way cleaner and more bright, Lovely juice man and it last forever, Was in the hospital for a few days and had this in my bag for my stay, Nurses went nuts over it so the ladies will love it, One stopped by Macys on her way home and picked it up for her husband lol, Love the sent great review
On my to-try list. I have JV Vintage and the performance is poor. That's what I hear about JV in general. Maybe Artisan Pure is a bit better.
I hope you get a chance to try it soon.
Thanks for sending this cologne to my home from BFL's contest and I will be wearing this when the warmer weather comes. I enjoy your reviews!
Both so many edt after your reviews, you the man to ask BRAVO.
Thank you!
This is an incredibly fresh lemon/lime scent that is unique because the open and dry down are different yet complimentary. One of my new favorites. Just subscribed. Scent community is super interesting. cheers

JV produces original, awesome smelling scents. They never last on my skin tho. I'll give this one a try cause of your review.
Thank you!
Awesome review Steven!!! I love this fragrance from John Varvatos.
Thank you, Eric!
Steve I own this now and it's a great one, the scent alone is classic I never owned an Orange /Clemetine fragrance before
It's great, indeed! I'm glad I own it.
How do you rate the performance?
Definitely getting this one next, I’ve been too preoccupied with your other recommendations😅 your reviews are always appreciated I’m really enjoying Jean Paul Guiltier original and ultra male that I’ve just acquired recently and got my wife JPGuiltier Classique👌🏼 you know you are the best mate awesome review once more👍🏼
2020, just picked it up at Marshalls, 125ml for $27 bucks!
I thought mine was a deal, Walmart at 35 dollars
I'm an Artisan fan and will definitely pick this one up.
Fantastic review. Always happy with you selections.
Thank you very much.
I am going to need to get this one. I do love platinum it’s so good.
You were right, Steven! I can’t wait to wear it to work tomorrow!
I hated this at first still not my favorite but I’m not going to give up on it just yet. My nose has grown since I first started collecting and I admit I appreciate it more now.
I need to revisit this one. That has happened to me with many scents.
Very nice review! First one I have seen on this fragrance! I had a sample for a few days. The scent is real quality but it just didn't last as long as I hoped it would. Each time it would die after 3 hours. I'm a little disappointed about that but nonetheless great scent.

Good Day Mate for me its moderate. Great smell , but doesn't last too long on me.

Great review as always ! Need to add this to the spring time collection ASAP!
For sure!
What a nice review...can't wait to get my hands on this one!
I spray 5 to 7 times. Smells good. If I have to describe the scent, it smells like powdery citrus.
Thanks for watching!
This one to me is very much like L’Eau d’issey pour Homme without the florals.
Great review Bro. I haven’t checked any John Varvatos fragrances lol. This one really interests me. I feel like it’ll be great for spring/Summer. Thanks Steven ✌🏻
Nice review. I like it and my wife also loves it. It’s a nice fragrance. Cant wait for the sunny summer days to be here again, so I can rock this one😁
Thanks for sharing!
I do have JV Artisan Pure I will collect the rest for sure
Sweet!
Hi. I'm a huge fan of CK One and it's my signature scent. Do you think I will like this one? 😳

That's awesome!
Great review steve as always 😍😍, welcome back you've been missed 🙋♂️.. when can we expect the top spring list?
I love this fragrance!
Great review as always!
you always do an excellent review!

its such an honor that u replied!! so happy!!🤗❤️🙏🏽
It means more to me that you watch and support!
hazel calica yes Steve is definitely the BEST reviewer. !!

Awesome review!!! Could you please tell me more about where should I buy fragrance online? Like some legit websites?
Best cologne I have so far
Great review Steven.
It's been a while since your last review.
Busy schedule huh?
Great review Steven 👍. You never disappoint me.
Just had a good day rack store by is hunting this and the original artisan 4.2 for 30$ a piece also gift set Moschino toy boy 50$ and commodity vetiver for 30$$ very happy
No way! Excellent finds!
@@Redolessence unbelievable huh!!!
If I am buying my 3rd John Varvatos, this will be it.
This fragrance smells like lemon a more tart lemon n woodsy in basic explanation I’d say buy this bottle🙏
Great review as always.
I love this scent. One of my favourite.
Great!
nice one, i wonder what you think about M. Micallef - Osaito perfume. No hype on YT for Micallef stuff sadly
Have you ever tried M. Micallef Delice (secrets of love) smells so good
Sad to See it Discontinued, here in Aus I found it at a Myers but then was removed, made me move my hand quicker getting it at David Jones for two bottles.
Oh, man. Is this really discontinued? I never knew that.
@@Redolessence I saw it in a Jeremy Fragrance video about people commenting and then to see the stocks gone from some stores, really is sad to see
dang it
Makes me think of the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer has an idea for a fragrance called "The Beach". This is it. It's The Beach, by Calvin Klein.
Who cares about wearing it just in warmer months, if it smells good it smells good regardless of time of year.
Just Started showing up at local discounters. Picked it up from TJ Maxx for 29.99 for a 2.7 OZ bottle.
Nice find!
Hi Steven, I've been binge watching a lot of cologne videos and I feel quite overwhelmed. I find the top 10/list style videos the best in order to understand a lot of information quickly and I'm trying to get a budget cologne (ideally under $30) that is versatile for school, as well as the evening/date night scenarios. Right now, I'm leaning to Montblanc Invidiuel, Nautica Voyage, and Armaf Club de Nuit. They all seem to top lists and are popular but I can't decide between which one. Do you have a recommendation considering my priorities for a versatile and inoffensive (but commonly complimented) scent?
Nice review this fragrance is great for summer days
Thank you, Ryszard!
Awesome review....love this frag...👌🏼
Excellent review!
Thanks, Garry!
Hey Steven, There's a fragrance that i keep hearing very good things about and i dont think that you have done a review on it as of yet. Please see if you can check out and review Mercedes Benz Le Parfum and give us your take on it. I just ordered it myself and I am waiting to see what its about. One review that I saw said it has similar traits to La Yuqawam by Rasasi which I think is a niche quality gem.
With wich one is this comparable? From your review I could think of Issye Miyaki
nice review steven
Great reveiw as always there’s this collection I’d like to see you reveiw it’s called type o negative it’s named after a band all the names of them are bames of there songs There all edp is like to here what you think
