John Varvatos Artisan Pure is a citrus aromatic woody fragrance for men. It launched in 2017 and is still in the line today. This is the 125ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is clementine alongside mandarin and lemon, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, petitgrain with ginger carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is orris root over woody notes and musk, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

Why You'll Love It
- Safe to wear in a shared office. Its moderate sillage reaches the person next to you rather than the whole room.
- Comfortable in Philippine heat. The Eau de Toilette strength keeps it light instead of turning heavy through the day.
- The orris root base gives it a grown-up finish once the opening settles.
- Presents well as a gift. John Varvatos is a name the recipient will already know.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this John Varvatos Artisan Pure original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does John Varvatos Artisan Pure last?
Moderate, around 5 to 7 hours. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
Is Artisan Pure good for the office?
Yes. Sillage sits at moderate, an arm's length, so it stays within conversational distance instead of filling a shared room. One to three sprays is plenty in an air-conditioned space.
How does Artisan Pure compare to John Varvatos Artisan?
John Varvatos Artisan is the closest comparison, the sweeter citrus predecessor. Artisan Pure is built on an orris root base with clementine up top, so judge them on that: if you want the orris root direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
