John Varvatos Artisan Blu
John Varvatos Artisan Blu Eau De Toilette is a fragrance that captures the essence of the Mediterranean with a refreshing and invigorating blend of notes. Launched in 2016, this scent is designed for the modern man who appreciates both elegance and a casual, laid-back lifestyle.
The fragrance opens with a bright and fresh combination of Basil, Bergamot, Chayote, Lavender, and Bitter Orange. Basil adds a green, herbaceous touch, while bergamot provides a citrusy zest. The unique note of chayote, a type of gourd, contributes a fresh and slightly aquatic vibe. Lavender introduces a classic, aromatic element, and bitter orange adds a sharp, tangy facet to the mix.
At the heart of the fragrance, a blend of Palmarosa, Geranium, Orange Blossom, Clary Sage, and Iris creates a floral and slightly spicy character. Palmarosa and geranium bring rosy, green nuances, while orange blossom offers a delicate floral sweetness. Clary sage adds an earthy, herbaceous touch, and iris contributes a powdery, elegant softness to the composition.
The scent is anchored by a woody and slightly nutty base of Pine, Cedar, Pistachio, Tamarisk, and Patchouli. Pine and cedar provide a crisp, forest-like aroma, while pistachio adds a creamy, nutty undertone. Tamarisk, a plant often found in coastal regions, introduces a salty, earthy quality, and patchouli brings a warm, earthy depth to the fragrance.
