The Story
Artisan Pure Intense is a limited edition that amps up the original's citrus with a burst of spicy ginger and a deeper woody base. It opens with a bright, zesty blend of blood orange and grapefruit, then settles into a warm, earthy heart of ginger and juniper. The drydown is a smooth mix of vetiver and cedar, making it perfect for warm weather but with enough presence for evening wear. It's a fresh, invigorating scent that feels both classic and modern.
