Artisian pure's bottle design, to me, is such an accurate depiction of 'how it smells'. The packaging designer translated the spirit and vibe of the fragrance into the look of the bottle perfectly. on a side note, when I use this one, I get a nostalgic reminiscence, and reminder of going through my parents cabinet where they stored some old dusty obscure alcohol bottle no one ever touched, (it had the same rattern weaving) It's scent takes me to some distant foreign tropical island that I have not visited... The freshness is unique, bright and stands out. - good layout guys
Coach for men is still one of my most used scents, easy to wear, inoffensive and pleasant enough of a smell that I've gotten compliments wearing it, I love it
I had got a small bottle but the performance wasn't right for me so I traded it for starwalker extreme lol kinda polar opposite but I was happy with the trade
I own John Varvatos Artisan Pure and I remember wearing it once and received two compliments from two different ladies in less then 2 min one from the other. It's a unique scent yet mass appealing. Highly recommended! Keep up the great content guys!
@@dqacid Ah, so you dig that shower gel smell. I don't mind Coach as a dumb reach. But it's not touching Artisan Pure's unique yet pleasing charm...in my opinion.
Artisan Pure is my fave affordable fragrance. I love the way it sounds after it dries down - it smells expensive, yet the only drawback it has is its longevity
@Cartier it lasts 4 hours on me. The projection is moderate. Being a very safe fragrance, it can be easily worn everywhere /when you don't know which fragrance to choose from
Coach has been my biggest compliment getter, I didn't like it that much on first impression but no denying the amount of compliments you get from this is crazy! got no compliments with aqua di gio profondo & bleu de chanel and all the "popular" fragrances but Coach seems to be that 1 fragrance no matter where I wear it everyone loves it and compliments it. Which is bittersweet because i'd rather get compliments from other fragrances I like more, but now I've grown to love coach for men. It grows on you after a few wearings. Also just got a sample of artisan pure and you're right that stuff is lovely!
The video was great the both of you bounce off each other well. And the video help me make my mind up on a blind buy for JV thanks keep the videos coming 👍🏾
Love Artisan Pure. It’s beloved in the frag comm for good reason. So simple yet so different and light and refreshing. This is my beach scent when I go to Boracay this year!
Dunhill Desire is a solid fragrance I've been wearing it since the early 2000's! I'm interested in trying Michael Jordan Legend and John Varvatos Artisan Pure by watching this informative video.
I like these blind videos a lot guys. Completely agree on the the JV artisan pure! I’m going on vacation to Tahiti in June, and grabbed a bottle just for that trip! Thanks for the content guys! 👌🏼👍🏼
Azzaro Chrome Pure, Davidoff Cool Water Intense & Bvlgari Man Wood Neroli are a few of my warm weather bottles. Franck Olivier's Amber, Bentley Intense for Men & Encre Noire Extreme are some of my faves for cooler weather (and all go from very affordable/very cheap to get reasonably priced) 🙏
@@davekemp1808 hopefully, but chaos fragrance hyped it up online quite a bit and so did jeremy fragrance so I doubt it. Everyone is already trying to buy it and those hyped fragrances don't last long in stock. And people are even buying 2 backup bottles, not just 1 backup bottle but 2!
artisan pure is so good. almost confusing how zesty and floral it is on first sniff, but it’s still highly inviting and pleasant. and it just gets better and better as it dries. fresh, unique, and classy.
Starwalker Extreme is also nice for a cheapie & relatively unknown. Cremo Black Vanilla & Spice Fine Accouterments Platinum (Aventus clone but more intense)
I’ve been wanting to check out Varvatos Artisan Pure, as I have Vintage from the house and really enjoy that. I was gifted a barely used 100 ml of Coach for men a while back, and agreed it gave me headaches lol. I gave it to my co-workers son, he loves it haha.
Just a note . I personally prefer this format to some of the others you have made . BTW, There are tons of “ cheapies “ out there that I think smell great
I absolutely love Artisan Pure. I think the entire JV lineup is amazing. Dunhill Desire has been on my "want-list" for sometime now. I had a sample and really like it! But the MJ Legend, I'm curious about.
“Happy” is one of my nostalgic favorites from 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it’s not as strong as it used to be and it doesn’t last long at all. Pretty much just becomes a skin scent, which is why I just wear it around the house after I shower.
I own a JV AP and its beautiful. A citrus bomb followed with beautiful woody ginger note and the amber in the base note. Its lovely. Only downside is its very weak, its projection is very little and is average in longevity
My favorite affordable fragrance at the moment is Havana by Aramis. Just picked up a bottle for ~ $30, and it smells great. Really good take on rum & tobacco.
Artisan Pure will always be a classic, but I'm a big fan of Halloween Man Shot. You've got the Cardamom, the Iris, the Vanilla & the pepper. It's just a fantastic fragrance for the price. The combination is Heavenly.
Dunhill Desire is a good cheapie scent. Nice citrus up top then glorious vanilla in the dry-down. Not a bad way to spend $25. Thanks for the video. Hi Courtney!!
@@BaldassarreFragrance I found that at the local rack store (Marshalls, TJ Maxx) for a decent price. I would also recco getting CH 212 Men if possible. It also has a red flanker called 212 Men Sexy.
Some good ones to react to on your channel are Pacific rock moss, Abercrombie & fitch first instinct, mercedes club black, boss the scent le parfum, lacoste blanc "eau fraiche edt", hugo reversed, bentley for men azure, polo red intense, profumum roma acqua viva, coach platinum, aqua kenzo pour homme, kenzo jungle, l'eau par kenzo, jo malone wood sage & sea salt, ysl l'homme cologne bleu, armani prive bleu lazuli, armani prive bleu torquoise, ocean indigo rituals, F by ferragamo, victoria secret him deepwater, etc
great video guys, i like the John Varvatos original Artisan in the brown wicker bottle. wonder if youve tried that one , Also Animalix or Carbon by Aaaron Terence Hughes. Fantastic and projects beautifully. Some of the most handsome and tasteful musks in there . Highly recommend and great for layering too.
I have Dunhill Desire, I'm surprised that they say it's refreshing. Where I'm from, every one who is close to me gets a headache. No matter how minimal I spray like 2 sprays. I only spray it at night now. I'm from the Philippines BTW. I like how it performs though, lasts a long time.
I've been wanting Artisan Pure for a while. You guys sold it for me. It's on it's way as we speak, somewhere in transit in Reno, Nevada.I tried Varvatos Vintage in Bloomingdales and like it, but didnt buy it because I typically stay away from EDT's because normally they have poor performance, but I'll give this a try. Why not. The price is right. I like apple in fragrances so I might even give Dunhill Desire a shot too. Inexpensive and I dont own any Dunhill so why not. 🙂
Dude give me a break Courtney has a style and advice Channel and Teddy has a Channel about fine watches. So they Branch out and start to do a fragrance Channel together, so what. Even if they did turn around and make lots of money off this who cares everybody starts somewhere whether it's meant to be a hobby entertainment or a money maker. Some of us find it entertaining some of us enjoy the information and a different point of view if it doesn't match yours just change the channel
Coach platinum is nice but again quite generic, falls into that Savauge, ambroxan class of scent. Frank Oliver oud vanilla is nice for the price but it is one of those scents that should be worn in the correct setting, like a date or something formal. It's definitely a skin scent so definitely do not spray it on your clothes as it get nicer with time on the skin. Can't go wrong with spicbomb extreme in the cool weather. Creed Aventus clones such as Club nuit are nice especially for the younger crowd (students) but they are becoming like one million where it is overplayed due homage scents. And lastly a really nice cheap scent for the younger crowd (teens to 30s) is Paul smith London although it might not be available in the States. A bit alcohol smelling at the start but is really nice once it’s settled down. Girls like it due to the coconut smell it gives off despite coconut not being in the notes 🤷🏻🤣
Artisan Pure smells like Laundry detergent to me. Not good. Starwalker..the bamboo note kills the fragrance. Dunhill Desire smells to old school for me. I like Halloween Man Shot. I agree with Coach. It's smells ok but super basic.
These dudes are genius on this fragrance channels add a hot lady or wife/GF to test the frags and boom there ya go ur a hit on YT!! lol. I'm only watching bc of her sorry dude lol

Coach really underrated fragrances I love coach for men, coach platinum and even coach blue which gets a lot of hate is good too
also you have to test coach on skin, it smells different on paper
Same here... had to get a 200mL bottle
I had got a small bottle but the performance wasn't right for me so I traded it for starwalker extreme lol kinda polar opposite but I was happy with the trade
Yeah but it's so generic smelling. I just can't get into that one.

Artisan Pure is such a good warm weather scent! I just wish it lasted a bit longer. Love y'alls vids! Just made a subscriber out of me.
Really enjoyed it. Adding it to the rotation!
It lasts quite a while on me.
Spray it on your clothes and you will smell it the next day, absolutely!
@@jimmy5634 I do clothes & skin when I spray. Still wish it lasted longer lol.
Nahhh....I very much disagree.....such a disappointing scent to me....coach is better in my opinion
@@dqacid Ah, so you dig that shower gel smell. I don't mind Coach as a dumb reach. But it's not touching Artisan Pure's unique yet pleasing charm...in my opinion.
Love Artisan Pure! On my skin when it drys down it gives off a Creeds Silver Mountain Water vibe. Love this in spring or hot weather days…. 4 ⭐️ Frag…
Artisan Pure is my fave affordable fragrance. I love the way it sounds after it dries down - it smells expensive, yet the only drawback it has is its longevity
Definitely a lighter fragrance on the skin. Have since worn this enjoy it.

clinique happy for man would win if the performance is there. it disappears after 90 minutes or so. but the smell is f.in. amazing
I really like how y'all present your review. Different from what I've seen

Dunhill Desire Red back in the early 2000s was a beast. Amazing stuff.
I love these to these to the point quick reviews. Bravo!!

The whole Aramis collection is underrated
I'd like to try Tobacco Reserve, but I don't want to spend $90 for it.
@@oldiesgeek1 Tobacco Reserve is good, but you’re right, I wouldn’t pay $90 for it. I think I got mine for 50-60 before it was really hyped up.
@@justadudeintheworldman.120 Glad to hear you got it at a half decent price. 😉
I own Dunhill Desire, and it's a nice steal. Also interested in John Varvatos, and this convinced me to give it a whirl.

Varvatos Artisan Pure is an A+.
Starwalker is a good one too. It gets a B.
Versace metal jeans. Very hard to find now and was great for the price. The only one that comes close is Clinique happy. Fav😎
I would recommend trying the Tom Ford Tobacco Vanile or the Creed Original Sental both of which I love. Not sure if you have tried those

Swiss Arabian Nawaf cheap, smells great (after the first hour) lasts all damn day and into the next
For a very long time, before discovering nichè, Dunhill Desire Red was my favorite fragrance... I still have it in my collection but seldomly wear it
Have enjoyed most Dunhill fragrances I have tried. Solid brand.
@@BaldassarreFragrance I really enjoy Dunhill Icon... but would like to try some of the Signature line soon
Can you do a video matching watches/companies to fragrances/fragrance houses?
I have Dunhill Desire, I'm surprised that they say it's refreshing. Where I'm from, every one who is close to me gets a headache. No matter how minimal I spray like 2 sprays. I only spray it at night now. I'm from the Philippines BTW. I like how it performs though, lasts a long time.

Artisan pure is different in a very good way sharp citrus floral woody soapy fresh summer vacation in a bottle
Her voice is very nice ❤
I seen Starwalker recently at Burlington coat factory...
Courtney’s shirt is definitely glued on her lol 😂 She’s like Mona Lisa in latex suit so graceful and mysterious but at the same time cyborg
"Omg teddy eww if its not a niche fragance its just basic"😂
All John Varvatos fragrances have terrible performance, but Artisan Pure & Vintage are definitely the best offerings from the house.
Lacoste and Hugo Boss have a whole bunch of great cheapies.
hugo boss reversed, solid stuff smells exactly like aqua di gio profondo
Montblanc Legend Night! No one talks aboutt
Salvatore Ferragamo Uomo signature is amazing cheapie u should check out
please consider for future episodes Dior Homme and Polo Intense. thanks
Try Antonio Banderas blue seduction
We can add it to a future video like this one.
Please, make the top men's fragrances with vanilla
No, Afnans or Rasasi?
I love Coach for men
Great review....
Wait! Aren’t you the watch guy? Had no idea of your other channel
Jordan legend is the best on this list and they can't admit it because of it's price
216 STANNNNNND UP
Surprised you like dunhil desire, I like the flanker desire blue ocean
artisan pure is awesome
Ck all reminds me of Varvatos pure.
But sweeter
Finally figured out what this channel is, more money than enthusiasts. Buying your way into a culture without knowing the details of what your buying

No idea how Clinique Happy is still a top seller after so many years? Some many fragrances do the same thing better.
Ignorance is bliss. Go in blind.
i recently sold my AP just wasnt my thing tbh i have many other similar type fragrances that are just better

😂 red pill girl doing fragrances. nice. Just like Kevin Samuels. I’m a fan of both.
I dont like Artisan pure
what fragrance? i dont see any fragrance here
Lol isn't this the snobby watch guy i thought I not interested this guy off my feed
All John Varvatos fragrances are very weak. 2-6h max... not worth any money
she is fine as hell
Stop using testing strips for testing. Use your skin.
How's he gona do that, be topless and spray 7 different frags one after the other? Lol
My explorer broke last night. Only wiped the floor so at least I can still smell it. 🥹🥹😭😭😭
:( sad day
