The Story
Artisan Pure Intense is a bold, aromatic citrus that amps up the original with a punch of ginger and a deeper woody base. It opens with a bright burst of blood orange and grapefruit, then settles into a spicy, earthy heart. The drydown is a warm blend of vetiver and cedar, giving it a rugged, masculine edge. It's a versatile scent that works for both day and night.
