Artisan Pure

Released in 2017, John Varvatos Artisan Pure stands as a cornerstone of the Artisan collection. This fragrance was designed to capture the essence of the Mediterranean countryside, offering a crisp and clean profile that distinguishes it from the heavier, sweeter scents often found in the masculine market.
As a reporter for Vivir, I have evaluated this scent across various environments to determine its viability for the modern man. It remains one of the most accessible and highly-regarded citrus-aromatic fragrances in the John Varvatos catalog, maintaining its relevance years after its initial launch.
