Jeremy has been hyping Artisan but from recollection, it's very boring. Definitely not a clean-smelling gangster. Just clean smelling.
Prada L'Homme is a moderately sweet but fresh scent. It smells like detergent (in a good way IMO) but otherwise it's not particularly outstanding. However, compared to Artisan it's still much more interesting.
Performance is great (which is more than can be said for many of JV fragrances) and there are cheap bottles floating around on Carousell so I feel it's a much better buy.
