John Varvatos Perfumes
John Varvatos Perfumes for Men
Some of John Varvatos’ fragrances are quite unique for men. Artisan has clementine, ginger and orange blossom. Artisan Pure has petitgrain, citrus and cedarwood. And Vintage has tobacco, suede and oakmoss.
There’s also John Varvatos XX, which has notes of apple, cardamom and coffee. It’s quite different to the citrus-heavy Artisan line. The bottles are interesting too.

Why Do John Varvatos Perfume Bottles Have Wicker Wrapping?
When you look at a John Varvatos Artisan perfume, you will notice wicker around the bottle. The wrapping connects with the fashion brand's style and helps identify it as an Artisan fragrance.
One thing to keep in mind is that there are multiple John Varvatos Artisan fragrances. Artisan, Artisan Pure and Artisan Blu look similar but smell different.
What's the Difference Between Artisan and Artisan Pure?
John Varvatos Artisan Eau de Toilette was first released in 2009. The perfumer used Sicilian clementine, tangelo and mandarin, adding wild thyme, marjoram and lavender to complement the citrus notes.
There are also ginger and orange blossom, with woody musk at the base. So you could say it's a citrus fragrance, but other notes make it more complex.
John Varvatos Artisan Pure was released in 2017. This one has more citrus notes, including lemon, orange and bergamot. It also has petitgrain. Other notes include orange blossom, jasmine, cardamom and coriander. At the base, it has cedarwood, orris and musky notes.
One note that I like is petitgrain. It comes from the leaves and branches of citrus plants and gives off a fresh citrus smell. If you like citrus fragrances, you might enjoy both. Just check the full name when ordering.
Artisan Blu or XX Artisan Teal?
Artisan Blu is an aromatic citrus fragrance meant to represent the Mediterranean. It has bergamot, bitter orange and herbs, with woody notes at the base.
If you like a fresh fragrance that's a bit herbal, this could be your next cologne. XX Artisan Teal has lemon, rosemary, pink pepper, water lily, driftwood, sea salt and musk.
It's fresh and clean-smelling. If you want a fresh John Varvatos cologne for summer, compare these two. Artisan Blu is more about aromatic citrus and herbs, while XX Artisan Teal has salty and watery notes.
John Varvatos Vintage Smells Like Tobacco
Not all of us like citrus fragrances. If you don't, try John Varvatos Vintage Eau de Toilette.
Released in 2006, it's an aromatic chypre fragrance with patchouli and oakmoss. There are also notes of tobacco, suede and wood. Suede smells like leather, and oakmoss is earthy. Almost like wet dirt or a forest. This makes it very different from John Varvatos Artisan Pure.
If you like men's perfumes that smell woody and spicy, Vintage could be worth considering. If it's a gift, check that the person enjoys warmer fragrances.
John Varvatos XX Has Coffee Notes
John Varvatos XX came out in 2020. It starts with red apple, blackcurrant and cardamom. Violet, orange blossom and geranium follow. Then sandalwood, cedar and coffee finish the scent. If you like fruity fragrances with wood and want to explore a coffee note, this could be an option.
There's also John Varvatos XX Artisan, which has bergamot, geranium and vetiver. For a fresher fragrance, compare it with XX.
