John Varvatos Artisan Pure for Men Initials (2017)

[@Phil-7]

so a piece of advice for this beautifull fragrance for any one who goes "meh" when they first try it: This thing has quality, rich ingredients in it and is not your typical "freshy", but rather more "woody"/casual vibe. It is a bitter fragrance and therefore needs the heat in order to turn sweeter and stronger. DO NOT try this in the winter. This is a pure summer fragrance and perhaps also warm spring days. That is where this one shines. High quality fragrance, cheap to buy, no synthetic ingredients, not cough-inducing and also a unique DNA with its "woody" smell. Sadly not very versatile, but worth having.

Joy I really love your humbleness and your way of expressing a perfume! Do not stop making videos, your true subscriber! :)

[@claudiuroman2475]

You are right man. They are a lot a parfumes reviewers but they dont talk about the parfums with such passion.

[@PerfumeBangladesh]

I really liked the way neroli plays with the citrus. The opening was not so great for me but after 10-15 minutes it's beautiful. Very good for summer in the subcontinent.

[@JoyAmin666]

bhai im glad you liked it and for your honest opinion...i agree with you, good solution for the summer days..and rainy days too

[@Pinoystylz]

Very nice citrus blast in the opening, fueled by the usual bergamot petit grain combo. Instead of neroli, it’s lemon and orange, but the effects is still the same. Very refreshing, sour, bitter green citrus fruits. The base is soft and woody with just a little of the bright green opening hanging on. Seems like a great summer scent. Perfect for casual but it’s also refined enough for some formal wear. Projection is good during the first couple hours then it settles down on the skin. That final phase lasts up until 4 to 5 hours. To me it’s a must have just for the mesmerizing smell of it alone. But I guess to each their own when it comes down to this fragrance.

JOY YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@jhors7777]

Thanks friend Joy for posting this. Your descriptions really help to pant a picture to help me decide on this and other fragrances you review. Longevity is king for me as at this point I don't want to decant after an hour. So I appreciate that your reviews always cover longevity.

[@ChaosFragrances]

Great thoughts man, I'm not a huge fan of this one but I do love Artisan Aqua. Nevertheless I can appreciate the scent

[@JohnKennedy-kh3eu]

@JoyAmin thanks for addressing the similarities of DHC and Hermes ETF. I was thinking the same as you mentioned them. Which has the better performance of the three?

[@Benjimikey]

Got this for £39 as a tester with no lid. Really enjoying it The weather here in London is very hit and miss but I have loads on summer spring frags and this stands out as a characterful fragrance and a break away from the typical designer approach.

[@ahmadsamyel-sayed9119]

Which is better this one or MEFISTO GENTILUO?

[@justinhight235]

The scent to me is amazing but it doesn’t last long at all. Then again my sinuses may be acting up so I’ll try again later to test the longevity. But smell alone it’s 9/10 .

[@southernsillage3327]

The stuff around the bottle is called “wicker”. They used to make outdoor furniture out of it here in the states back in the 80s. At least that’s exactly what it looks and feels like to me.

[@tracer073]

Southern Sillage it is wicker, wasn't around in the 80s but I've seen wicker chairs before

[@Outlaw_j84]

Southern Sillage wicker or weave

[@AllAboutFragrance]

This is very high on my to buy list!! Thanks for the review brother! Great as always 😀

[@kevinroddy7065]

Hi Joy. This was the first video I watched of yours that introduced me to your channel. I have to say that your reviews are the best. After I saw Jeremy recommend this fragrance I started investigating, that’s when I saw your review. You convinced me to get this bottle. It’s gorgeous but weak. However if it’s sprayed on a shirt even after 2 or 3 days I occasionally get a whiff of peppercorns (I live in a cold climate). I’ve also just bought Artisan Blu, but didn’t open it yet. Keep up the good work

[@migui8850]

Wasn't Rodrigo Flores-Roux the nose behind both Neroli Portofino and this fragrance? Could go towards why people find a similarity.

[@NathanDuffy725]

Thinking about trying this next summer. I like John Varvatos fragrances, still haven't tried Dark Rebel yet and have a feeling I will like that as well but this will be nice for next summer. They come in 2.5 bottles so they are cheaper in stores then 3.4 bottles.

[@MdNasim-ul9mp]

joy vai between john varvatos artisan pure and ck all both around same price which one do you recommend?

[@manpreetsinghsidhu5031]

Love the JV House.JV Vintage & Artisan Aqua are really gd.Hope to try Artisan Pure soon.Nice video Joy bhai.

[@edges01]

This or Azzaro Chrome Sport for the summer?

[@lionbell9]

why you never reviewed the original artisan? its the best from this line in my opinion and gets lot of compliments too

[@surfgreen111]

I get a sun block vibe from this. Not in a bad way. Very summery.

[@scottm2398]

Hey bud i already own this. I was thinking about getting ferrari bright neroli . do you known how similar they are? Would it be redundant to own both?? I know theyre both similar to neroli portifino type scents

[@abdullahmehtabbaig1904]

pehlay logao check krho sample 2 ml phir kahrido you absolutely correct

[@AllAboutFragrance]

I believe the TF it's compared to is Neroli Portifino Forte I may be wrong though.

[@claudiuroman2475]

I dont have a Varvatos eau de toilete, but after waching your reviews about them, i think i'm going to buy one. You recomande me one ?. I dont like very swet parfumes. I got my eyes on dark rebel. Its like a star wars parfume. I dont know if its going to smell nice on me.:)

[@maxlord709]

I haven't tried this one out yet but based on reviews so far it's sounds promising. My only fear is that I just bought chanel allure homme sport cologne And I don't want to get another same kind of cologne, u said u have tried the homme cologne can u give me an idea if this and homme cologne smell similar. Thanks

Bro..i'm sorry this is out of context from your video..i want to ask, if i buy a perfume 125ml + 30ml travel atomizer included in their package (terre d hermes). The big bottle doesnt has sprayer, it just as source to refill the atomizer..my question is..will it affecting the SPL of juice in the big bottle, cause it will contaminated with air every time we refill the atomizer..sorry my english suck..im from indonesia..hope u understand my point.

[@ronaldahmad1181]

Thx bro..okay

[@wailun9126]

Blind Bought it online for RM129 last week... 😍

[@Donmenon]

wai lun Was where bro?

[@saltnpepper6675]

This bottle looks perfect for Creed virgin island water.

[@HiroyaFujimiya]

Hai Mr Joy, nice soothing review as always. Just want to ask your take about JV artisan pure and TdH eau fraiche. Which do you prefer on overall terms of smell,longetivity and projection?

[@tracer073]

HiroyaFujimiya longevity eau tres fraiche, smell I would say jv pure

[@aminbazooband4675]

So happy to see your enthusiasm. rock on.

[@vikkurockstar]

I’ve heard that longevity is bad in artisan pure ?

[@aalamite]

Do u have idea where to buy the genuine product in india

[@nmambo]

I just got it today, top notes for me smells similar to cuticura powder (the orange bottle)

[@guillermobarajas7650]

I believe artisan pure was inspired by Mexico, not the Mediterranean.

[@CapitalistSpy]

the most interesting summer fragrance since few years! thanks!

[@eugenechang155]

Joy Bhai good stuff as usual

[@sskt9882]

Recommend me the best citrus lemony.. Perfume

[@Mrfpsara]

Ssk T Dior Homme cologne

[@robbiecale3327]

I get an amazing creamy lemon pie with this fragrance. Reading these comments, I think I'm the only one😂 this is my favourite summer fragrance, maybe a bit too sweet for extremely high temperatures

[@bberns2]

I try to watch your videos as you have great content but you really should invest in a dedicated microphone. Your audio has an extreme bass tone (from room reflection) which makes it very difficult to understand what you are saying..

[@L8bro]

This instantly reminded me of Atelier Boise Blonds

[@waltherP99BG]

Nice fragrance for sure,but guys wait for it...like 5-6 months and you'll be able to get it much cheaper.Never pay retail for JV fragrances! SOTD Cedrat Boise by Mancera

[@dutchhaddock]

I’ll have to try this one out ! Thanks.

[@laloatfitness]

Keep up the great work 🏋️‍♀️

[@aalamite]

How to buy this in india? I need the authentic product of artisan pure not the adulterated product!!any genuine seller?

[@suveerbhatia7]

shoppers stop

[@aalamite]

@@suveerbhatia7 not available in guwahati shoppers stop

[@stephenmangeshkar1239]

I buy all authentic products from SPLASHFRAGRANCE.IN They sell authentic products

[@teufelhunden8308]

For me this is Jack Sparrow stranded on a sunny island :D

[@Rico4801]

Real talk

[@lazyman4214]

Basically it's a straight-up clone of Hermes Voyage, but for 30% of its price.

[@lionheart1146]

Almost at 10k BRO

[@briancolet2535]

i agree to never blind buy a fragrance no matter how popular because others might like it and others might not i tried this artisan pure disappointed smells like grass it's an okay fragrance but not worth buying, artisan blu is better

[@mrbarbarossa8203]

hanks for this great review

[@khairuddinzaini3494]

Like before view for abang joy amin

[@Outlaw_j84]

Love this one joy

[@andrewfager1713]

i picked up a 4.2 oz today for 36$😁

[@andrewfager1713]

@Austen Hernandez i really enjoy it. to each their own man

[@andrewfager1713]

@Latin Lover I got mine at a marshalls

[@masterbetty8839]

picked this one up a few weeks ago and I love it. It smells so unique, like nothing else in the designer realm....maybe a few niche ones though....and unlike other John Varvatos scents, this one lasts a long time.

[@JoyAmin666]

i can completely agree :)

[@Mbp1511]

This fragrance is okay at best to me... Acqua and vintage are works of art

[@am.esmaeel184]

Please enhance the voice of videos its really necessary at this time , from now you enter to a new era and need to improve any interactive aspect with your subscriber such as the professional crisp voice , writing some info as sub , more light and decoration phenomenas , thanks a lot for your nice work bro

[@FatherOfDragonss]

I have to fast forward and all your videos too about the eight or nine minute Mark to actually hear the fragrance review. You do too much rambling.

[@JonathanIsrael708]

I don't like it. Not the opening or dry down. Doesn't last on me either.

[@Samson12372]

can not understand , why you recommend sauvage, the ambroxen dry down is so fucking anoying and every dude wears it. would you like to smeel like any dude? artison is way more unique and way more smoother !

[@void5239]

Everyone has their own like and dislikes. But Sauvage and AP are night and day different completely different.
