John Varvatos Artisan Black Cologne by John Varvatos, Embrace the bright refreshment of beachy citrus touched by the darker, seductive atmosphere of nightfall with John Varvatos Artisan Black, a daring men’s cologne. This enticing fragrance blends citrus, spicy and woody accords for a sensational and entirely masculine scent that’s sure to leave you feeling confident from day to night. Top notes include juicy watermelon, blood orange, tangerine and Amalfi lemon for a sparkling energetic taste of the Mediterranean. Middle notes of cardamom, coriander and potent ginger lend the aromatics of exotic spice, while green neroli, African orange flower and night-blooming jasmine incorporate a sophisticated and floral element. Finally, base notes of orris root, patchouli, white amber, sensual musk, Kephalis, vetiver and various woods finish the scent with an earthy, heady tone that’s pure and masculine.

Developed by expert perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, this limited edition 2010 version of the signature original was launched by the Us fashion design house of John Varvatos. This delectable aroma is encased in a black rattan flacon. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey, everyone. It's Sarah, and today I'll be reviewing Artisan Black by John Varvatos. I really like this cologne. It was released in 2010, and it's woodsy as well as invigorating. It showcases the art of craftsmanship while still maintaining a chic, modern edge. Some of the notes include tangerine, Meyer lemon, Italian red orange, Murraya flower, Moroccan orange blossom, purple ginger, and coriander seed. The contrasting notes make this cologne absolutely unique and captivating. This is truly a must have in your cologne collection. All right, everyone. That's all for today.

My Favorite JV Scent to Date

I've enjoyed John Varvatos Vintage for quite a while, but decided to try Artisan Black. I am quite impressed with it! It's a distinctly masculine blend of citrus, spice & floral notes. Somewhat similar to Terre Homme, if one would like a comparison. Artisan Black is now in my regular rotation of

Not for me

This scent smells like synthetic leather or ??. Honestly, imho and recognizing scent quality is somewhat subjective, I found this to be awful and discarded a practically full bottle There are a lot of high quality masculine scents in this genre which are far better. Tom Ford or Cartier for example.

This one is definitely not for me... a very bad blind buy based solely on the Varvatos label and a valuable lesson learned

Another Goodie from Johnny V.

I've bought 2 other John Varvatos fragrances and this one is yet another great smelling cologne of his. I do prefer J.V. Vintage over J.V. Artisan Black but this is a great cologne to add to your collection also. It's starting to grow on me the more I wear it. Give it a try.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
