    I picked up Artisan Blu (2016) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Right away I get mostly Bergamot alongside Basil, fresh and very easy to wear. The very first sniff is crisp Bergamot with Basil peeking through, very much my kind of start. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

    I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Artisan Blu. The opening is built around Bergamot and Basil β€” bright and immediately recognizable. The first minutes are all about Bergamot with a hint of Basil β€” it grabs attention without being pushy. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. I can see its quality, but it simply is not my style.

    A decant of Artisan Blu sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. That first spray gives a lovely Bergamot/Basil impression that dries down smoothly. The drydown leans on Pine plus Cedar and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. I reach for it often and always enjoy the wear.

    I have owned Artisan Blu for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. The opening is built around Bergamot and Basil β€” bright and immediately recognizable. That first spray gives a lovely Bergamot/Basil impression that dries down smoothly. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. Easily one of my favourite finds this season.

    A couple of wears in, Artisan Blu has really grown on me. The opening is built around Bergamot and Basil β€” bright and immediately recognizable. As it settles, Pine and Cedar come through and give it real depth. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

    A friend passed me a decant of Artisan Blu (2016) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The opening is built around Bergamot and Basil β€” bright and immediately recognizable. The heart is the best part for me: Geranium and Palmarosa feel carefully balanced. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

    I’ve been wearing Artisan Blu on and off for a few weeks now (2016). That first spray gives a lovely Bergamot/Basil impression that dries down smoothly. Right away I get mostly Bergamot alongside Basil, fresh and very easy to wear. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. Pleasant, though I would not call it essential.

    I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Artisan Blu. Right away I get mostly Bergamot alongside Basil, fresh and very easy to wear. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Geranium with Palmarosa, which is where the fragrance really shines. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.

    A couple of wears in, Artisan Blu has really grown on me. The heart is the best part for me: Geranium and Palmarosa feel carefully balanced. The first minutes are all about Bergamot with a hint of Basil β€” it grabs attention without being pushy. It performs better in warmer weather β€” in the heat it opens up nicely. A solid addition for anyone who enjoys this style.

    I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Artisan Blu. The drydown leans on Pine plus Cedar and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. As it settles, Pine and Cedar come through and give it real depth. It projects politely for a couple of hours, then stays close and cosy. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.
