Rodrigo Flores-Roux

"Artisan Black is a darker, woodier interpretation of the original John Varvatos Artisan. It opens with a bright blend of citrus and watery fruit, giving the fragrance an immediately fresh and energetic character. The heart combines orange-flower facets with jasmine, ginger, cardamom, and coriander for a lightly spicy floral effect. Its drydown becomes more modern and masculine through woods, vetiver, patchouli, leather, orris, musk, and amber nuances. Compared with the original Artisan, it is more musky, woody, and polished while retaining the line's fresh citrus identity. The fragrance was presented as a limited-edition men's Eau de Toilette launched in 2010."

Reviews Summary

“Artisan Black is generally characterized as a more modern, woodier, and muskier interpretation of the original Artisan. Its fresh citrus opening remains prominent, while the woody, musky, lightly leathery drydown gives it a more masculine and polished profile. The overall reception is favorable, with the fragrance regarded as a well-crafted limited-edition reinterpretation rather than a radical departure from the Artisan DNA.”
