What does Artisan Pure smell like?

Citrus notes and petitgrain give it a lively, green start, iris adds a soft, slightly creamy floral touch, and woods hold it together on a woody base. The overall impression is clean, cool and far from heavy.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and leisure and daily wear lead, with business use close behind. Most voters read it as masculine and modern. Notebook Citrus & Green Tea and Arval Ductor Fresh have a close profile.
