Interesting little bottle of juice - a total blind buy based upon gypsyparfumista's splendid review. Jovan is a throw-back name, but this is actually a decent drugstore fragrance that doesn't quite smell like one. I don't know if I would go as far into the positive realm here, but it holds its own. I actually bought my two young boys a gift set each of the 1oz bottle and the body wash...great price on eBay (2 sets - under $12 total with free shipping). They love the Rolling Stones and "Satisfaction" is one of their favorite songs, so I bought it on an knoweledgelable whim from the review here and was pleasantly surprised myself when I snuck a couple of sprays. For juice like this, they should just offer it in a bigger bottle though - IMHO...50ml, 75ml, or bigger. This is spray and go, but you need to apply it liberally. Good scent - the notes have already been discussed. My rating is 6-6.5/10 and a recommendation to buy just based upon price alone although you don't get much in the 1oz bottle.
Its nice. Its just like Jovan Black for Men. You must spray more for notice. It holds up to 3 to 4 hrs.
I bought this on sell at Wal Mart after X-Mass and am happy with it.Jovan Satisfaction is another cheaply priced fragrance that I find to be pleasent and well worth the price paid.It is a good smelling scent and I love the cedar I pick up in it.
GO BUY JOVAN BLACK MUSCK OMG YUM BOYS.
This one is quite nice, I must admit. The opening notes don't stay around long, but the tonka and the cardamom are just beautiful in this one. It's strong enough to be noticeable, but not overpowering.
Longevity is decent on my skin....I sprayed some on last night at bedtime, and there were still wisps lingering this morning...not bad for a drug store scent.
It's nothing groundbreaking, but if you want a very good, low cost oriental, this fits the bill quite nicely.
I also like this scent. Longevity is the concern here. I have not tested it enough to gauge how long it last on my skin yet.
I happened upon this gem in ___-Mart and had received no PR or warning from any of my on-line communities.Despite the frown on my shopping partners face, I sprayed it in the air and walked through it and voila!, one mist covered me in a sweet veil of manly scent that belied its humble creator. I shopped on and thought, I have LOTS of stuff that smells like this and forgot about it...over the course of 90 minutes in the store 4 people (1 a guy) actually complimented me on how good I smelled!
Needless to say I bought the large 30ml bottle...
This fragrance relies on the classic opening of grapefruit and fresh, green basil but instead of only these, adds quince...one of my favorite fruits in perfumes. Quinces are large yellow apple-like fruits (some say this is what Eve ate in the Garden of Eden) that contribute a somewhat dry and bitter juicy nuance to scents. This is, I believe, what makes this fragrance so intruiging. The heart appears 20-30 minutes later(depending on temperature) and continues its manly charge on our senses with strong cedar blended with aromatic rosemary(green and refreshing) and cardamom (which sweetens this in a aqueous yet softly spiced manner). The true beauty of this is in the drydown: labdanum and tonka beans, quite stunning and this is what it leaves on my skin. I sometimes catch spicy green and sometimes watery citrc wisps. This one is manly, aromatic, smooth and sweet with old notes in new places. Manly enough to hold it's own but not loud as some of this ilk can be. It's oriental base is heavy in its finish without being sickly or cloying...
Sillage: super
Longevity: quite decent
Overall: 4/5
This and Black Musk for Men have completely changed my opinion of Jovan fragrances for men. I will have to revisit the older scents- perhaps my tastes are more open to the vintage scents like Sex Appeal, Musk and White Musk...I already have Ginseng NRG and it is also quite good...
