#John varvatos artisan by john varvatos skin

Why is this such a common theme with Varvatos fragrances, that I’ve tried? My skin is pretty good at keeping fragrances on it, for a max time, but this brand’s colognes just evaporate it seems. Then, it’s essentially gone from the skin. A short time later and the ability to project is non-existent. The sillage at the start, is light to moderate, but at least you know it’s there. This cologne doesn’t last long at all…which is insanely disappointing because I like it. Secondly, it loses whatever strength it may have had really quickly. First, while it is light and airy, it’s also pretty weak and people have to be pretty close to you in order to detect it (or you have to spray a ton of it). While this scent smells great, it has two distinct problems. After an hour or two, it’s pretty much an orange and neroli blend, which I have to press my nose against the skin to really pick up on. I want to write more about the dry down and the other notes that came out of the fragrance as it wore on but I honestly didn’t get the chance. The initial citrus blast is gradually taken down a notch by the underlying floral notes, and the light spiciness. I get orange blossom, neroli, and ginger, mostly. These top notes are joined by herbal ingredients and floral notes. However, this one is much more of a citrus fragrance than a citrus aquatic. The citrus notes here, are tangelo and mandarin orange, much like in Artisan Acqua. It’s pleasant citrus notes highlight a layer of complexity to the scent and give it a very fresh opening. This is the type of fragrance that will have women wanting to draw closer to get a whiff. It is warm and inviting and definitely one that has a bit of sexiness to it.

The first thing that I note about this cologne is how light and airy of a fragrance it is. Notes include: Tangelo, Marjoram, Thyme, Murraya, Lavandin, Kephalis, Ginger Absolute, Serenolide, Belambre, Orange Blossom, Clementine, Purple Ginger, Ginger root, Mandarin Orange, GeorgywoodĬlick here to try: John Varvatos Artisan Eau De Toilette Gift Set, 4.2 Oz.
