Reading the comments and comparing them with my experience makes me think Jovan Musk uses some kind of psychedelic cloaking device to confuse the public. I also think that complaints of longevity with the current version are exaggerated and may stem from a bitter nostalgia about its early power house days. If you prefer blue style fragrances and punchy citrus notes or vanilla/cinnamon bombs, this fragrance will disappoint you.

I bought a big bottle for my boyfriend back in 1976 and every time I smell it to this day, it takes me back in time. Maybe it's just how my skin reacts to it in particular, but the bottle I bought is absolutely beast mode! Most of moms here would smear telon oil (mix of cajuput, anise, coconut) to their babies and toddlers after showering them, followed by putting lots of baby powder on their babies’ faces and bodies (sometimes they put it so randomly, making their babies look weirdly fun).

Jovan's classic aftershaves and colognes blend earthy and natural musk oil with fresh notes and woods. This makes my throat sore, my nose sting, even thinking about using it yesterday is bringing back a headache. And there is a naughty aspect to Jovan Musk's scent profile, as maybe there should be given it's a musk scent.

Whatever other notes can be detected are bathed in this plastic-ish quality that I don't find pleasant. Jovan Musk opens up with bitter fruit of lemon and lime with pepper and carnations then moves onto an herbal garden of mint and lavender with amber and spice then finishes the scent with smooth musk and precious woods. Well, I got the idea behind it, but the way we interpret scents pretty much depends on our memory, reference, nature, habit and cultural aspect surround us. Orbison had barely sung the words "there goes my baby" in between coughs when audience members began to flee. They also make a stick deodorant for this and it smells like soda also but pepsi instead of coca cola and no sunscreen or vanilla-ey feeling smell alongside it.This fragrance offers an affordable journey down memory lane, and its distinctive orange-colored juice encapsulates nostalgia in a bottle. But then, right on the heels of this thought, comes the impression of how pleasant the fragrance is. I loved it them and I still love it now, even though today’s version is but a shadow of the original. Point is, it smelled awesome back then, and it still smells awesome now, but it might not be your cup of tea.

It really just comes off like a second skin, an aura of clean musk, soapiness with a little masculine woody spice. I just hope you get a chance to try the vintage formula someday because it's pure 70's magic in a bottle! Jovan's musk fragrances for men and women were so popular during the 70s when they first came out that not only are they still being produced (and much consumed) today, but for many people they remain the reference for what a musk fragrance should be. At some point later on in life, I began wearing it because I love the musky scent without all the floral top notes you get with a musk fragrance for women.The full range of reactions is present-- from "it's pissy" to "it's too sweet" to "it's too floral" to "it's too masculine" to "I love it" to "I hate it," etc. Unfortunately, for someone who's 21 living in 2021, this smells somewhat dated and I don't think it suits me personally.

The scent reminds me of Axe Musk, but with a better quality and somewhat more "oily" and sticky (I really don't know how to express this quality, sorry for the vagueness). Please be assured that our couriers will work as hard as they can to deliver parcels as normal, and will get your parcel to you as soon as they are able.Plus it opened so heavily on alcohol I know if the night ever gets too cold I can take a nip to warm my blood or help start a fire in the old fireplace.
