![]() I like the smell of many of the other Artisan scents. Pure is a very fresh citrus scent, full of rich green undertones, and a bit of a floral finish. Pure has the usual Artisan citrus flare, but pairs it with some nice herbal notes like thyme and petitgrain, to give it a slightly different touch. However, Black doesn’t seem to be around much anymore, so I’m putting this one on the list (Artisan Black is still below). Nonetheless, this is probably the best smelling of the Varvatos colognes, or at least top 2-3.Īrtisan Pure– Pure is in my mind, the second best fragrance from the Artisan line. Performance is decent, but not anything that special. Up top, those notes get lost in the fray, on my skin. As it dries down, I feel that it gets sweeter and the light citrus and rhubarb touches become a great deal more noticeable. I love tonka bean, as a note, which gets flanked by that suede note and rich cured tobacco. Much like the other scents, on this list, it will settle down into something that is more palatable and great. ![]() Fir and a blend of spices announces that Vintage has arrived. The opening act is pretty powerful and ‘in your face’. Notes include: tobacco, suede, tonka bean, jasmine, rhubarb, absinthe, and others. Vintage is a masculine scent that grabs attention in an understated way. Vintage– Warm, fresh, and incredibly smooth. I actually ended up buying Versace Man Eau Fraiche, Hermes Eau Givree, and Sauvage EDT (EDP is too weak, Parfum is trash, Elixir is more trash, don't me) for my summer arsenal.What are the Best Smelling Varvatos Colognes? Best Overall Varvatos Cologne While I definitely believe in wearing colognes for yourself, it's not a good idea for a hetero guy to wear something women are repulsed by. ![]() Unfortunately, if you watch Fragrance Room's videos where women react to this, nearly all of them hate this fragrance and rate it below 4/10. My closing remark is that this feels like Versace pour Homme minus tonka bean and 4x the neroli - they are really that similar even though VPH lasts about an hour, is plain and boring, but also cheap. This is praised as the definitive vacation scent, but to me it's the definitive *beach* vacation scent with that south european twist and I almost feel like wearing this anywhere else would be out of place. This makes JVAP a more floral springtime scent whereas Sauvage is straight up "blue" that everyone "expects" a men's fragrance to smell like. Oversimplifying, Sauvage EDT takes the lemon cleaner smell edge off with black pepper the same way as JVAP does with floral and herbal notes. It's herbacious and floral enough for spring AND citrusy and floral enough for summer, AND cheap enough to overspray, AND a fairly safe scent (unless someone hates the smell of citrus blossom, in which case you should probably avoid that psychopath anyways).Įven though it's nothing like Sauvage, it still gets compared to the king of citrus and the king of ambroxan. ![]() It definitely gave me a headache because I can't stop enjoying this. It's Neroli Portofino Forte! If you don't believe me, check out the perfumer for both and notice it's the same gentleman behind both, and they are both his most popular fragrance (single). AdG Absolu is extremely popular after the big bottles went 60% off on black friday 2022, but a sweet aquatic smells so "cologne-guy", a category almost as bad as "old man cologne guy".Īfter seeing JVAP called out in multiple videos, I tried on 4 sprays in Macy's and went right in. I see the Lacoste L1212 and Abercrombie First Instinct called out often, but smelling like melons is just such a strange concept to me. ![]() I found myself looking at top 10 videos from 2018 in desperate search of a spring/summer fragrance that was unique enough for me to enjoy and also mass-appealing enough so I could wear it without worrying about bad reactions, and affordable but also not cheapie smelling. ![]()
