This fragrance is absolutely amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fragrance is absolutely amazing. It smells fresh, clean, and very masculine — not too strong, but long-lasting and elegant. The scent is perfect for everyday wear and also great for special occasions. My husband absolutely loves it, and every time he wears it, I can’t stop complimenting him. Definitely one of the best men’s fragrances we’ve tried. Highly recommend!

Not my fave cologne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say this scent is my least favorite cologne scent. The smell wasn't sexy to me and made my head hurt. It came in a nice bottle and packaged well though.

Out with the old in with the new
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had quite some time to try out and evaluate this very unique cologne. There are so many attractive features starting with the gorgeous teal packaging. It happens to be my favorite color so that is already a good start. The next surprise was the bottle wrapped in thin fishing type aesthetic rope. With teal liquid and clearish bottle I just adore it. My husband got to be the tester and as soon as that citrus ocean like scent mixed with his chemistry and hit my scent glands I knew we had been given a superior product because it all seemed so perfect
He was able to wear it through the day doing his normal work routine and only reapplied once
I am sold on this product. Thank you Influenster for introducing me to my new favorite hubby scent.
I received this product for free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review.

A refreshing, ocean-inspired fragrance with bright
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this fragrance! John Varvatos XX Artisan Teal is the perfect balance of freshness and sophistication. The moment you spray it, you get that burst of bright lemon and rosemary — instantly uplifting and coastal. As it settles, the waterlily and sea salt notes take over, giving a smooth, aquatic vibe that feels like a relaxed day by the ocean. It’s total value for the money. Packaging is top notch.

Amazing scent that you’ll have to hide it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an amazing scent! I had to hide is from my husband otherwise he would have used it all. The bottle itself is adorable and very costal. The scent is fresh and crisp!
