John Varvatos 2010 EDP
Artisan Black
John Varvatos Artisan Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux. Artisan Black opens with Lemon, Blood Orange, Watermelon, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Neroli, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Leather, and Amber. John Varvatos's Artisan Black carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.
This one's a divisive beast, a cult favourite for its unique dark citrus, woody charm contrasted with its tragically poor longevity. It's a genuine shame because the scent profile consistently garners high praise, but wearers warn you'll be constantly re-spraying.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its poor longevity means it's safe for office wear, as it dissipates quickly. The sensual, dark citrus makes it an ideal choice for dates and casual outings, though not quite formal affairs given its relaxed undertones.
