Long lasting (12+ hours on my skin), old-school scent that smells a lot like clean laundry and is incredibly versatile. Sometimes it's a smooth, fresh, cooling musk, almost like a laundry detergent scent but done a few degrees better than anything from Tide.

I felt like a slick-haired man with a last name like Moscatello, living in Jersey, chest hair poking out of his shirt, wearing clothes from the eighties, a huge mustache, and dancing at a nightclub with women who are too young for him.This has those nuances and varying ingredients in it, whereas the Coty is much more just a singular smell. These included his trademark tinted glasses, his guitar, and a potato sack containing his fragrances. I can't say why no one in the reviews below has ever pointed that out, but it smells like 85% GF with a less bitter smell. I hadn't smelt this since maybe the real early 90s, but last year my wife and I bought these (men's and women's Jovan Musk) as kind of a joke. 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.

bottle had silver cap as in past purchases, but noticed the fine print (in online purchase page) said "Jovan Musk by Coty. The carnation And floral notes smells so sweet and powdery and reminds me of my great grand mother who grew the same flowers the spices and citrus come through but not in a piercing way. The bottle and presentation is basic, and the fragrance itself is sort of basic, but I could imagine that creative fragrance buffs could use this to layer another fragrance on top of it. We regret that we cannot redispatch/refund sooner than the timescales listed above as these are the terms set out by the couriers.Other times it's a skanky 70s machine, full of sweat and rust and mustaches and unnecessary horsepower. 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). I sprayed twice on a piece of paper, remembered how much it smelled like ambiguous scent with some musk, and on the shelf it went.

I think in today's age of sweet bubble gum and unisex scents this might work better than people expect. Considering words like "savage" and "dated" get thrown around so often with all things Jovan, I was very surprised with how soft, fresh, and inoffensive I found it. Unfortunately we are no longer able to send to France, Germany, Norway, Slovakia or Sweden due to customs regulations.I bought a bottle of this about a year ago and have wore it a couple times,but l just can't bring myself to like it. This is man stuff, but not rough, it's quite pleasant and a little bit fashionable since it has some nuances and varying ingredients to be picked out rather clearly including a floral which I thought was like lilacs, a warm hayfield type of smell, and also some mint too, and of course the warm pleasing musk. Jovan Musk smells wonderfully backward, beautifully "badkward" which I'll coin now, meaning "reminiscent of the worst aspects of the near-past". We all hear the word "musk" thrown around all the time in the fragrance world, but if you were born after the musk craze, like I was, then there is a strong likelihood that you aren't quite certain what musk smells like. It can be surprising that Jovan's Musk for Men was so popular during the 1970s when so many absolutely macho fragrances were so popular for men, but in some ways this even enhances the lightness of musk by combining it with fresh notes of citrus and florals and some spices.

On its own Jovan Musk reminds me of a '70s Camaro with concert t-shirts for seat covers, a huge plastic comb and a pocket full of dry, crumbly B-grade Columbian.Personally I don't detect any mint, and the strong carnation note does NOT make me sneeze, which is unusual for me. This really is a great scent that gets no love because people seem to refuse to admit that any of these extremely affordable old fragrances are still good. My wife is not that fond of it, although id just come from the shower to the lounge room and plonked along side of her just after giving myself a small dousing. Once you get a feel for the scent it becomes much less harsh and begins to feel soapy musky clean, reminds me of a bubble bath but not in a feminine way, it’s just so clean I love wearing it after a shower. It initially goes from a citrus floral bang to a medieval pomander ball and ultimately a warm, comfortable and clean musky tone.
