But even in that case, it would have been nice for the opening to have lasted a BIT longer and the base notes to have been a BIT more projecting. The scent is really nice, the performance is respectable, and it's unique enough to stand out in a crowd.

Added to that; a cooling touch of white musk and some woody notes truly round this fragrance up into masterpiece levels for me. John Varvatos has some seriously underrated, beautiful fragrances in their lineup (John Varvatos, Vintage, Artisan, Artisan Pure). Expect around 5-6 hours before you'd have to reapply but the musky/woody drydown sticks around for a while. Let’s face it, even if you're a model, people usually don’t just come up to you and comment on your scent.That’s backed by a subtle herbal undercurrent that definitely leans this in the masculine direction. Does get compliments but ended up selling mine as it has a mature vibe about it that just doesn't suit me. Tle citrus/clementine Vibe stays for another 3 hours tops, then it becomes fresh, musky, woodsy masculine skin scent. I'm fairly certain this is the note that so many people find so off-putting and this is the same reason I love this scent so dearly. If you care to purchase this juice make sure you layer it so you can have great sillage, and will last longer without turning into a skin scent so quickly.

Still nice to have in your summer collection and well in the boat scene, the girls do love this f*k boy vibe this scent gives off. EDIT: 7 hours later It's gone from my skin but still in my clothes but only if you put your nose on it. Long Lasting if u use it on Heat and even smells better on heat , but in colder days it smells synthetic and doesn't last.

Out of all the reviews here for Artisan Pure, only one person other than myself smells a similar opening to English Leather cologne and aftershave by Dana (formerly Mem)?My main problem is that it becomes a skin scent after an hour or so, and the projection is not strong to begin with.
