Jovan Musk Aftershave Lotion for Men, 118 ml

Product Information

bottle had silver cap as in past purchases, but noticed the fine print (in online purchase page) said "Jovan Musk by Coty. It takes serious balls to wear this stuff in public because it kind of like slaps people in the face saying: "I am a man". I sprayed Jovan Musk tonight, only to be greeted by a terribly staunch, dry, bitter smell that I could only describe as a combination of baby wipes and some cleaning materials that I would keep under the sink. However, I felt as though frag toed the right side of the line between "spicy" and "sweet" for being too feminine.

A nice discovery, as someone in the late 1970´s, early 80´s wore this and although the guy is dead by around 15 years, it triggered memories. There are plenty of modern frags that use a musk base, but none of them are as straight forward as this stuff. Narcisso Rodriguez for Him was too dirty sidewalk like for me, Khiel's was too human, but this one hits the spot. It has a warm, musky, vanilla, powdery, soft but masculine type scent that works for me year-round, but probably a bit better in the fall-winter. 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!

The evening was encapsulated in a New York Post piece headlined "Only the Colognely," complete with a photo of Mr. Wow it's a *civet* - read skanky - musk I gotta get this, a true animalic' I said out loud to nobody in particular. 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. Other times it's a skanky 70s machine, full of sweat and rust and mustaches and unnecessary horsepower. So these days I like to use this for myself at home after an evening shower just before bed, but I can also imagine using it at the gym or after the gym in another lifetime.

There’s not a lot of changing layers to this, and it smells similar from start to finish and lasts about 4 hours on my skin. I need to find a use for it now, need to try it socially to get an idea of what impression it causes and to evaluate its performance.

The Coty bottle that someone gave me is mostly used as an air freshener - the quality is nowhere near as good as the vintage Jovan Inc.
