Super fresh, perfect for summer and spring. Great for the gym as sweat will project it farther, and it won't offend anyone. However longevity is 4-5 hours due to the lightness of the fragrance. Very refreshing scent, I mostly get Petit grain/ clementine/lemon. Power By 50 Cent is also very similar to this, both being very herbal/fresh/masculine. Best part is it's not super expensive 🫰

This fresh, citrus scent is a great affordable option for a no-brainer wear. I wear this when I want to run some quick errands or am heading to the gym. It’s simple, fresh, light, but has some staying power. One of my favorites in my collection that gets a lot of wear.

Artisan Pure is citrusy, dry, bitter, and slightly powdery. I actually love the concept of this fragrance. Coffee flowers smells like jasmine, and so that is the floral aspect you get here. It is like they grind up a citrus tree with coffee flowers, distilled the aromas and called it a day. Simple and complex at the same time. It’s the idea of standing between coffee trees and citrus groves. I think they restrained the floral aspect to keep it masculine, which I appreciate because the aroma of the leaves really gets to shine here. When I first smelled this I was unsure about it and didn’t use it much. But lately I’ve been craving the green fragrances and this does a good job.

This is a very elegant and citrusy summer fragrance, with above average performance for a summer fragrance, getting about 6 hours of longevity and 1-2 feet of projection. The top notes really coming through are clementine, lemon, and bergamot followed by a dry down with a very subtle yet pleasant wood and musk base. It smells like suits on the beach in Miami. For the price 55$ this is a truly underrated summer fragrance and should be talked about more.

Out of all my fragrances, this one is at the top. A big reason is because it is the first fragrance my wife bought for me and what I wore to our wedding. Now as far as the scent goes, it is a beautiful blend of citrus and woods. Nice bright citrus in the opening and quickly dries down to a beautiful woodsy base with the citrus still hanging around throughout. I get pretty good projection for the first hour or so and on my skin I get about 8-10 hours of longevity. Great stuff.

I received my bottle in a swap and I couldn’t be more happy. For a budget fragrance, pure knocks it out of the park. If the longevity were better, I’d give it 6 stars.

For the price you can get this fragrance online John Varvatos artisan pure is very hard to beat. Realistic citrus blast with just enough spice and herbalness from the petitgrain and thyme as well as amber notes make this a fragrance that can be worn anytime during the spring or summer. If I did not have Bleu de Chanel I would have bought a full bottle but I just bought a decant to try it out

One of the few JV that actually last. This smells like an orange with suntan lotion. Others describe it as a white floral scent. Either way… It is STUNNING when out in the sun or heat, it starts to project like crazy and develops a creaminess. I layer this one with other freshies to build something more complex. And I am surprised to say this actually lasts— as long as you spray it when you’re going out into the sun or working up a sweat.

This is one of the most beautiful scents I’ve ever smelled. It’s very citrusy and clean. It’s very airy and doesn’t last long at all or project that well. But it’s tied with issey miyake’s lhomme dissey. The only thing that makes Issey miyakes better is the longevity and projection. But this is an amazing beautiful scent that is a must have.

This is a great summer fragrance that you can get for a very fair price, not very long lasting at max around 5 to 6 hours longevity. Would be nicer if it came in an EDP or higher concentration. Overall 7/10 would recommend
