What does Artisan (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays lightly present through the day without filling a room. Voters mostly call it masculine, with a good share also calling it modern.

The top is Sicilian clementine, mandarin orange, thyme and Provençal lavender, pairing citrus with a herbal freshness. The heart adds Indian orange jessamine, African orange blossom and ginger for a soft floral and spicy touch. Woody base notes such as Georgywood® and Kephalis close it on a clean, even footing.
