What do reviewers say about Artisan Blu and Essenza di Colonia?
Artisan Blu plays it cool where other masculine scents shout. The pistachio tree resin in the drydown is a subtle, intriguing twist that sets this apart.Artisan Blu
If you want modern Cologne with real substance, this is it. The citrus opening is immaculate, but the clove-spiced heart and musky drydown give it depth most flankers lack.Essenza di Colonia
