John Varvatos Artisan Forest is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Artisan Forest opens with Galbanum, Fig Leaf, Rosemary, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Buchu, Violet Leaf, Fig, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. John Varvatos's Artisan Forest carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

A frustratingly hard-to-find gem, Artisan Forest is a beautifully blended aromatic woody scent from John Varvatos that balances familiar notes with a unique, almost tea-like quality. Its non-existent projection is a real shame for such a lovely juice.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its low projection and skin-scent performance make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't overpower. While pleasant on a date, its lack of sillage means it won't leave a strong impression, and it's too understated for formal events.

About

Artisan Forest opens with a vibrant, leafy green burst of fig leaf and galbanum, brightened by a hint of juicy tangerine. As it develops, the unique, slightly bitter aroma of buchu emerges, mingling with aromatic rosemary and the soft, powdery greenness of violet leaf and fig. The scent eventually settles into a smooth, refined base of earthy vetiver, clean cedar, and a subtle hum of amber, retaining a fresh, natural elegance throughout.
