Very semi-casual or casual sort of scent, to wear on a warm day outdoors or to the office when it is nice out. Top notes are Basil, Bergamot, Chayote, Lavender and Bitter Orange.

Seasonally, this one is late spring and summertime all the way. Artisan Blu by John Varvatos is a fragrance for men. That is a pretty common theme with a lot of Varvatos fragrances.

That skin scent, seems to last for around 4-5 hours, before evaporating. Artisan Blu pretty quickly and consistently moves into skin scent territory. It’s pretty good for about an hour or so, and then, falls off of the map pretty much. Projection wise, the sillage is honestly, not great. The citrus is still the standout for the entire wear. Wrapped all together it is a zesty freshness with soapy qualities. Ultimately, I get lots of bergamot, lavender, pine, basil, chayote. Much more green than the initial tropical blue citrus impression, my mind went to. The further along in the wear I get, the soapier the blend becomes. The water isn’t completely like salt water or anything, but it does give a slight marine-like aroma.Īs it dries down, the lavender comes out, and also a very dry woody combo of pine and cedar. Now, the chayote note, gives this one much of its crisp watery vibe. Very herbal, with strong basil, some patchouli, and sage with weakens as the wear moves on. The spiciness of Artisan Blu, is what keeps it from going into pure citrus territory. They’re not exactly the same, but do have some relations. The main similarities come with the sage and herbal spices that flank the citrus. The Tom Ford, is much more refined, and the citrus is different (lemon and grapefruit). I grabbed my sample of that fragrance, put it on my other arm, and compared the two. So, almost right away, I noticed the similarities between this and Mandarino di Amalfi. Sharp citrus with spicy basil and sage, really peaking through, at the top. The bergamot is the stronger of the two, and it does have, that beachy vibe.
