I think that this one has now been discontinued. This is a scent for the warmer months for guys who enjoy a sweet citric fragrance in the summertime. This one, has better performance, and stands out with its unique aroma versus some of the other options.Īrtisan Black-A citrus blend with supporting notes of ginger and some floral. I like the smell of many of the other Artisan scents. Pure is a very fresh citrus scent, full of rich green undertones, and a bit of a floral finish. Pure has the usual Artisan citrus flare, but pairs it with some nice herbal notes like thyme and petitgrain, to give it a slightly different touch. However, Black doesn’t seem to be around much anymore, so I’m putting this one on the list (Artisan Black is still below). Nonetheless, this is probably the best smelling of the Varvatos colognes, or at least top 2-3.Īrtisan Pure– Pure is in my mind, the second best fragrance from the Artisan line. Performance is decent, but not anything that special. Up top, those notes get lost in the fray, on my skin. As it dries down, I feel that it gets sweeter and the light citrus and rhubarb touches become a great deal more noticeable. I love tonka bean, as a note, which gets flanked by that suede note and rich cured tobacco. Much like the other scents, on this list, it will settle down into something that is more palatable and great. Fir and a blend of spices announces that Vintage has arrived. The opening act is pretty powerful and ‘in your face’. Notes include: tobacco, suede, tonka bean, jasmine, rhubarb, absinthe, and others. Vintage is a masculine scent that grabs attention in an understated way. Vintage– Warm, fresh, and incredibly smooth. What are the Best Smelling Varvatos Colognes? Best Overall Varvatos Cologne For this post, I want to select six other scents from the Varvatos collection, which I consider to be the best overall (in terms of smell and longevity). Two of these scents, I have reviewed here on the site thus far (Artisan and Artisan Aqua), and while both were very pleasant fragrances for men…they both had some longevity issue which made it hard to enjoy.
