Let's pause here and think of all the perfumes Murray Moscona could release if hired by Dior or Hermes. If I had a gaudily dressed uncle who wore this I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get that out of my head either. He smelled gorgeously masculine, like the collective cup sweat of the "Miracle on Ice" US men's hockey team. Wow it's a *civet* - read skanky - musk I gotta get this, a true animalic' I said out loud to nobody in particular. 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.

I have to say that these notes surprise me, as I've smelled Jovan musk often and never noticed any mint! It definately smells manculine and gave me that in control feeling, maybe that's the muskyness which usually prompts a feeling of satisfaction for me. I also have a bottle of Kiehl's Musk, and that's a very similar fragrance but it's just better in every way so if anything that's the one I'd wear.Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision. A lot of people say this smells like their grandparents etc but I’m 23 and I think this smells amazing, but for reference I really like clean and fresh fragrances. 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.

For all of the folks reviewing this wonderful scent, please keep in mind that it was reformulated when Coty bought the rights back in 1994 and has gone downhill ever since.It's not your typical warm spicy scent, it's more of a floral musk with spiciness, and hint of leather and woods. Even so, this fragrance was my girl friends favorite and she refused me to wear any other scent when out on a date with her. Orbison had barely sung the words "there goes my baby" in between coughs when audience members began to flee.

For the first ten minutes it's very loud, then it's around arm length for some 30 minutes, and in an hour it's close to the skin. 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. On first whiff, after spraying into the cap (as I usually do when trying the colognes that I don't want straight on my skin), it smelled very but very familiar. If you knew how many panties the perfumer Murray Moscona has dropped from this one in the past half century, this one would be your top 10 modern/retro/sexy/winter/spring/summer/fall/panty dropper/compliment getters/drives women insanely horny/get a job promotion/score goals/lift more weight than you've ever lifted before/etc.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. Distinctive, soft, sweet and a classic that I frequently use to bring a touch of soft focus to my evening.

Strangely, when I first met my wife, she loved the smell, then when she found out what it was, she hated it because it is cheap. I was officially hired to strut around stage in drag during "Pretty Woman," but I mostly just hauled Mr.I too loved the smell of Jovan Musk on my boyfriend back in the 80's, so much so that I bought a spray bottle for myself and wore it as my signature for a while. Overall I get straight up strong spicy musk from this cologne/aftershave with hints of lavender, mint, and citruses (but mostly musk); provides a nice burn too after shaving; very manly smelling, I really like it. 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.
