“XX Artisan” by John Varvatos Eau de Toilette is a fresh, woody-aromatic take on the Artisan spirit, blending crisp citrus with aromatic spice and earthy woods for an easy, everyday signature.

It opens with bright bitter orange and bergamot before a cool, herbal heart of geranium, wormwood, and a pinch of Sichuan pepper. The dry down settles into clean vetiver, cedar, and musk—versatile for the office, weekends, and warm weather wear.

Bottle Description: The rounded flask is wrapped in a silvery woven “artisan” casing with a metallic cap—John Varvatos’ signature handcrafted look.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for daytime, business-casual settings, travel, and spring–summer rotation.
