I have discovered a magic potion as of late, however; I add in a bit of Kiehl's Original Musk *OIL* to a decanted spray bottle of his Jovan Musk and it makes a heavenly concoction. it's a combination of clean musk and animalic musk with a touch of lavender and sharpened by a dash of spices. Musk for Men has a habit of being a few different things all bundled into one scent, sort of a Jekyll and Hyde trick.

Take note that i tried this in cold weather, things may change in summer, but right now, good little musky cheapie fun to mess around with. This smells like "manscaping" would never be coined, homophobia as a given, a world where people will never know how to pronounce "harassment", and of a "place to be put in" that people are comfortable with. It's not your typical warm spicy scent, it's more of a floral musk with spiciness, and hint of leather and woods. Debuting the first fragrance developed wholly under Alessandro Michele’s creative vision: a scent designed to celebrate the authenticity, vitality and diversity of women—flourishing in a natural, expressive and individual way.

Jovan Musk for Men is far from the most natural or exciting of musk fragrances (and the bottle it comes in is almost hilariously dated), but its popularity attests to how happy it makes so many people feel. I'm sure it's been reformulated over the years, as most scents have been but, having smelled it continuously for close to 40 years, I don't notice much difference other than a bit less strength and longevity. Point is, it smelled awesome back then, and it still smells awesome now, but it might not be your cup of tea. My Mum passed away recently and as I was browsing Fragrantica I came across these reviews and it reminded me of one of my first fragrance gifts from her. 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.

It feels special to connect with my dad in this sort of way, and learn about his fragrance choices long after his passing. 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. Musk dominates by a long shot, but the carnation, pepper and citrus brighten this up and keep it from being too stinky and heavy.And yet, the distinct DNA is still intact, even though it it doesn’t project or last even a fraction as long. 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. I'm in my 30s and have kind of a Jason Momoa style; messy hair and similar beard so I think that look works well for this smell in particular. My wife is younger than I am (she's 30) and I guess the way I described how I remembered this made her expect something completely different.

I bought this expecting to be taken back to my childhood memories of musk, this is anything but what I remember. It's exactly as I remembered it: Clean, smooth and sensual with a slightly powdery musk combination. The evening was encapsulated in a New York Post piece headlined "Only the Colognely," complete with a photo of Mr. I have heard of people who add a little of the Kiehl’s oil to a bottle of Jovan spray, and I think I’m going to try this next. Jovan Musk provides a reliable performance with decent longevity and projection, making it a valuable addition to your collection.Let's pause here and think of all the perfumes Murray Moscona could release if hired by Dior or Hermes.
