Jovan Musk for Men

It was a blindbuy and I gifted it to my man anxiously.I love musk in all it's variations but I didn't know what would hubby think of it and he has a very sensitive nose.I didn't know would he accepte place this cheapie (3oz bottle=11$) beside his creeds and xerjoff and mugler? I gave it to him right after his shower.he took it off it's box.qsmiled and said:"it looks like a perfume my grandma used to have" then he pressed the atomizer infront of his neck.my heart was beating fast.I wished he had sprayed it on his wrist so that if he hated it he could wash it easily and there would be no need for another shower As soon as it's scent reached my nose I forgot to think about his impression because I could only think of the cool scent I was smelling.I loved it! I hate too much animalic scents and this one isn't a dirty scent in my book.in the contrary,it's clean but it's not a detergent like scent either.it's a combination of clean musk and animalic musk with a touch of lavender and sharpened by a dash of spices.it's not a cold scent,not a warm one either,actually it's both of them and I find this powder puff of musk and spice and woods very appealing. I can't detect citruses or green notes.it's sharpness tickles my nose but at the same time I find it very comforting.jovan musk for man is pure sex in a bottle!I can see it's not everyone's cup of tea but for me if it was ten times more expensive,still I would buy it I've read in numerous comments that it's old or dated.yes it smells like what classic men used to smell,real men but it's still how my man should smell.I'd say it's timeless and definitely ageless.I simply love it! Hubby was looking at me.he said:your smile and your glowing eyes are telling me that you like.I asked:"but you don't like it?" "I like whatever you like"and he continued :"how can I dislike it?it reminds me the perfume you wear to bed" he was talking about body fantasies white musk and I agree.that one is a cleaner and feminine version of jovan musk for men.oh yes,they're both simple and love is simple too and they're both cheap but lovers don't need expensive fragrances.they just need each other and drops of musk My man asked me:won't people consider this as something cheap smelling and trashy babe? I answered :well,maybe,but it's difficult not to kiss a neck smelling like this.choice is yours. and my love has made his choice.it's sitting between his Creed aventus and xerjoff mefisto right now

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. Everyone seems to encounter this fragrance differently. 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. What is this stuff? To me, it's mostly nostalgic. This was the sort of fragrance my brothers and I would get as gifts at Christmas-- usually in little bottles rather than a full presentation. Likely, our parents would get a cheap gift set of Jovan fragrances and parcel out the contents to the four of us. As to what the fragrance smells like, my nose goes RIGHT to the floral notes! I sniff it off my arm and think, "Men would wear this? It's like a bouquet dipped in honey!" But then, right on the heels of this thought, comes the impression of how pleasant the fragrance is. Would I wear this out in public? Probably not. It's a little too floral, too sweet, and, well, too "odd" to the modern nose. But, would I wear it on a cool, lazy day around the house. Absolutely! It's like an old graphic t-shirt. You wouldn't wear it to impress anyone, but it's "comfy" and reminds you of happy times. Update: The more I visit this fragrance, the more I like it. I would amend my comments above to say that I WOULD wear it in public. I don't know if anyone around me would like to smell this on me. I'm not sure I much care. I can't quantify it, but this fragrance just makes me happy. Jovan Musk brings a smile to my face every time-- a great, big, floral, spicy smile.

I really wasn't too sure about this one at first. The first time I put it on I oversprayed it and I got a bit too much of that "dirty" musk scent. However, I've been giving this a good try and I even bought the spray deodorant and aftershave to pair it with, and... Wow! The opening really can feel dated, at first it nearly screams "grandpa." But the way this develops on skin it becomes so soft and sensual. This is a very comfortable scent, a spray on my chest, the back of my neck, and on each of my forearms and this stuff creates a very comfortable scent bubble with some gentle warmth and sweetness. Longevity is pretty moderate, strangely I feel like it lasts better if you're gentle on the atomizer. About an hour of solid projection before it reigns down to a skin scent that lasts about five or six more hours. Even after that initial hour I can pick this up wafting up through my shirt throughout the day. This could be somebody's signature scent, it's soothing and easy to wear. Not quite for formal events but Jōvan musk wears easily to work or casual events. I sense a few similarities to Tabac Original, and I really enjoy that one. Jōvan would do well to release more products so this scent could be layered with a lotion, shaving soap and shower gel. I'm curious about the original Musk Oil but I don't believe that's on the market anymore, I can't find it being sold anyhere online.

I am a girl...a 62 year old girl. I LOVE this boy's fragrance! Is that wrong? Is it Politically incorrect? Will the fragrance police come barreling through my front door as soon as I post this? You never know these days when you publicly confess something, lol! Jovan Musk for Men is so comforting to me, my hubby, my son and most of all my wallet!!! There is a seller on eBay that starts their auctions at 1 cent. I guess most folks out there think JMFM is a old fashioned "grandpa scent" because 9 times out of ten I will win those auctions for anywhere from 1 cent to 1 dollar. Plus shipping, of course, but still ab bottle costs me no more than $5. This is the kind of fragrance you stockpile. I spray the dogs fresh out of their bathes, our linens, the curtains, my clothes and hair (that's where the longevity comes in). I spray hankies and use them as reusable dryer sheets. I spray cotton balls and slip them into my brasserrie, maxi or mini pads in our shoes..there is a million ways to use this fragrance. Once I had my hand in my purse and just about to take the bottle out to give myself a spritz and a guy jumped me trying to grab my purse. I sprayed him in the eyes and he stumbled away blindly. Jovan Musk for Men could have actually saved my life cuz I'm not the kind of girl to give up my belongings without a fight! JMFM is my new mace!!!

Sometimes there's an experience that a fragrance takes you that brings a tear to your eye. That happened to me with Jovan Musk. I picked this one up for 1,000 Yen ($9) in Japan, because it's a classic that I've never smelled and it was among the cheapies in the store. The first time I sprayed it, I immediately remembered my late father. It was the exact scent I remember from decades ago. It was as if I was standing in his apartment. Visiting him on weekends; having Sunday dinner and watching football together (that was in my 20's). I never thought of my dad wearing cologne. He must've had a bottle of this stuff in his bathroom that I never noticed. It was amazing to me how a fragrance can revive those emotions; those warm feelings and memories. My father has since passed and all I have left are those memories, some pictures, and little things that pop up from family members (cards he sent, notes he wrote, etc.). And then there's this kind of magic from a bottle of Jovan Musk. He was a man's man, an old-school type of guy. There are plenty of colognes that would have suited him, but he chose Jovan Musk. It feels special to connect with my dad in this sort of way, and learn about his fragrance choices long after his passing.
