  • Today we're going to cover the latest release from the house of John Varvatos - Artisan Pure is a crisp melange of citruses with the main player being the Clementine/Tangerine accord. Just perfection if you love Citrus-Aromatic scents. Great for the warmer seasons ahead.

    Creed could change 400 bucks for this and we would not say it’s overpriced

      Its opening does remind me very much of original vetiver 🤷🏻‍♂️

      That's an excellent price. Pretty crazy that you can make even the bottle for 15 USD.

    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.

    @brightstarlavandula3028 6 років тому +2

    From my view, Artisan
    Pure is quite lemongrassy on top notes. At first, not attract me so much. BUT, when it come to middle and base notes, the scent is wow. Feels like vacation at a beach. Breezy, fresh, and calm.

  • @justaddlight
    @justaddlight 6 років тому +6

    I kinda feel like Pure is what the original Artisan should have been - especially in the drydown. As with all JV freshies, the greenness from the petitgrain and thyme give it a slightly more "down to earth" vintage feel, while the combination of lemon and woods is reminiscent of a matured soap. An excellent fragrance for anyone demanding more than the light and metallic freshies currently overwhelming the market today. Where, to make a freshie "interesting", Dior has added pepper, YSL and Boss - ginger, Chanel and Armani - incense, Versace - tonka and fruits, Mont Blanc - apple and JPG - mint, JV is known for their greenness.

    I absolutely love this fragrance can’t wait for spring/summer. It will be my signature scent this summer. I’m a huge JV fan, sadly I was disappointed when they discontinued Black Artisan it was one of my favorite scent from his line of fragrance. Top three favorite JV scent. 1- black Artisan 2- Vintage 3-Artisan Pure

  • @bernie7772
    @bernie7772 6 років тому +3

    Nice, Max. I am very glad to hear the performance issue has been addressed. I think that was holding them back. Thank you, sir.

    • @amgolfer3591
      @amgolfer3591 6 років тому +2

      Bernie777 I don't care what anyone says regarding the performance, but it's not that great. Sample it first on your skin before buying s full bottle. I love Pure, but get below average performance.

    • @bernie7772
      @bernie7772 6 років тому +1

      Thanks, Max. I always carry an atomizer with me because my skin "eats" the performance right out of most fragrances. So if I like a scent, I'll wear it and respray as needed. Good advice on testing on skin. I'll use blotters only at the very first, but won't buy with out the "skin test" because of the varying skin chemistry reactions. Thanks again!

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

      Thank Bernie, very true - JV scents are great if only they performed better they'd be up there with the best ones...

  • @nameinvain6
    @nameinvain6 6 років тому +1

    Just got this and sprayed two on the front of my neck and one on the back. This scent is fantastic. It's like I can literally see and feel the scent bubble around me and I know anyone who enters it is gonna be blown away by how good it smells. I love this so much. My only regret is not getting the bigger bottle but I probably will after this one runs low lol.

  • @GeeMood
    @GeeMood 6 років тому +2

    My favorite out the Artisan line! I love the ginger in it which gives it that snap as you say. Something worth a backup bottle no doubt! Out here in Southern Arizona, where we only have 2 seasons hot as hell and...not so much, this great citrus scent performs extremely well on my skin.

    • @MaxForti
      @MaxForti  6 років тому

      glad you like it - definitely great for your weather! ;)

  • @bfoon1217
    @bfoon1217 6 років тому +1

    Like always. Max thanks for a great vid and review.
    You killed me with your temps, 40-50's. This is like my deep cold and elusive winter, accumulated to 2 weeks. My winter is like 70's :)
    Defo will check it when it arrives
    peace and take care

    This is so much better than Artisan IMO. The blend between citrus, florals/spices/wood is perfect. I love high-quality neroli fragrances but Artisan is too much cleaning product. This is a perfect summer/hot weather/gym fragrance.

  • @richardrohloff4876

    • @richardrohloff4876
      @richardrohloff4876 6 років тому +2

      Good Day Mate it's one of the better performing varvatos frags. Still there 8 hours in. Not a sillage monster but it leaves a solid scent trail. An excellent flanker and might be the best of the artisan line.

    • @MaxForti

    • @MaxForti

      definitely a common issue with JV scents unfortunately.

  • @waymonbrown
    @waymonbrown 4 роки тому

    Max I appreciate your reviews and we also share I believe a favorite all time scent Dolce and Gabanna (Vintage Made in Italy Pour Homme).
    This to me is the best smelling of the Artisan line. It fixes the problem so to speak that I had with the original Artisan in that - the original has a bit of an underlying green earthy roughness to it and there's also something in the original that gives a picnic basket like reminiscent smell effect that is a little unflattering at times to notice when smelled up close (yes, I can smell a picnic basket in it lol). But the Artisan Pure version has a wonderful opening and even though it seems to dry down quicker on me than the original, it's also more appealing overall. The original gives me a Saturday afternoon brunch sort of vibe which is clean and considerate - Pure can give me the same feel at times but it's cripser with brighter more translucent citrus tones than originals' bar soap with a lot of orange and some vetiver vibe. I also pick up on the herbal marjoram and thyme in the opening to mid but they are smoothed out altogether and blended good with the ginger, citrus and nice green note(s).
    Thanks again man for your reviews!

      @robertpatterson8889 6 років тому +2

      Good Day Mate Performance is above average for the JV line, sillage is real nice for about 4-5 hours with me. I get around 7 hours total out of it. Hope this helps!!

    • @gooddaymate1171
      @gooddaymate1171 6 років тому

      Thanks for the reply! Strange how you get such good performance and most reviewers aren't. Are you spraying on clothes or skin? and how many sprays? Thanks!

    Smelled this the other day, and I think I will be adding it to my JV collection for sure. I pick up the Artisan Blu DNA in this one with some new note's added. My top 3 favorite JV fragrances would be the Original, Artisan Blu, and Rebel Rider. Great review Max! 👃😊

    • @brightstarlavandula3028
      @brightstarlavandula3028 6 років тому +4

      J Austin ... An apology for interupt. From my view, Artisan Pure totally different than Blu and Artisan (yellow bottle).
      Artisan so citrus scent especially top and middle notes.
      Blu is fresh and a bit citrussy.
      Pure is quite lemongrassy on top notes. Not attract me so much. BUT, when it come to middle and base notes, the scent is wow. Feels like vacation at a beach. Breezy, fresh, and calm.

    • @MaxForti

    Fyi i tried this at macys and after an hour it was gone. No projection at all. J. Varvatos is famous for colognes with terrible performance and this one joins that club. These designers have to get their act together and start offering quality again Paying hundreds of dollars for mediocre performance is not right. Something has to be done. If i were you i would never buy or review any again. These companies are really crapping on the consumer.
