John Varvatos Artisan Blu

The house of John Varvatos introduces ‘Artisan Blu’—a bold new addition to the ‘Artisan’ line that the luxury megabrand introduced in 2009. In its distinctive fragrance and appearance, Artisan Blue transports you to the azure seas, evoking the spirit of adventure on the high seas and the ebullient energy of the warm Mediterranean sun. The house of John Varvatos enjoys an international reputation as the creators of legendary masculine fragrances, and the 2016 Artisan Blu makes a suave, yet exciting debut into a line of iconic perfumes.

Artisan Blu redefines the powerful maritime fragrance with a top note comprising the florals of French lavender, the freshness of bergamot and bitter orange, and the carefree essences of chayote and basil. The mid-notes of the fragrance are a mesmerizing blend of exotic scents that call to mind the great sailing legends of the Mediterranean and the eternal confluence between East and West: Egyptian geranium, Florentine iris, French clary, sage, Orange Blossom Absolute, and palmarosa. Experience the deeply aromatic underlying base notes of cedar, patchouli, pine, pistachio resin and tamarisk wood that are an olfactory clarion call to the life on the high seas.

This deeply aromatic and citrus fragrance is packaged in a swashbuckling 4.2 oz. bottle shaped in the irresistible form of a seaman’s flask with woven netting. A pitted and aged nickel label and bottle cap are a visual treat designed to renew the spirit of adventure in you in conjunction with a sophisticated, yet earthy dichotomy of brilliant fragrances.
