Dark Rebel
Dark Rebel opens with rum — a warm, slightly sweet, almost boozy note that doesn't read as literal alcohol so much as the atmosphere of a room where it's been poured.
John Varvatos 10th Anniversary Special Edition
Artisan Pure
The opening is brisk and herbal, dominated by a lemony thyme that feels more kitchen garden than citrus grove.
John Varvatos Platinum Edition
John Varvatos
The opening announces itself with a leathery dryness and a thyme-like herbaceousness—not green or fresh, but dusty and slightly medicinal, like the inside of an old apothecary cabinet.
Vintage
The opening arrives with a peculiar coolness—basil and fennel collide in a bracing, almost medicinal swirl that feels more apothecary than cologne counter.
XX Artisan
Dark Rebel Rider
Dark Rebel Rider opens with a dry, almost metallic saffron that feels more like worn leather than spice.
John Varvatos Oud
John Varvatos Oud is built like a Middle Eastern-inflected American leather.
XX Artisan Teal
John Varvatos XX
Artisan Blu
The opening is immediate and Mediterranean—lavender and basil cut through with bergamot's brightness, like walking into a sunlit herb garden rather than a conventional cologne counter.
Artisan Black
Artisan Black opens with a jolt of bright herbaceous energy—mint and basil cutting through citrus—before quickly settling into something darker and more textured.
Artisan
The opening is herbal and faintly medicinal, thyme cutting through with a savory edge that feels more kitchen garden than cologne counter.
JV x NJ Crimson
Artisan Acqua
The opening is all green bite—galbanum arrives sharp and resinous, almost medicinal, cutting through with the kind of clarity you associate with a good herbal tincture.
