If only the rest of the industry would recognize the projection of this one and Jovan Musk! Even Jovan Musk aftershave is stronger than many edp's out today (and that goes for Aqua Velva Musk, too!).
So, I was 16 years old and bussing tables in an upscale restaurant. To the distinguished older gentleman I'm standing next to: "Sir, may I take your plate? And, um, would you mind telling me what cologne you're wearing?" He was embarrassed to tell me, and I was embarrassed to hear it. That was 40 years ago, and I've always wanted to smell it again and never have. Old school or not, maybe it's time for a comeback.
I got Jovan musk as a Christmas present when I was about 10 years old. I can't say I really wore it much but the smell of it does bring back a lot of nostalgia and reminds me of my dad who still wears Jovan musk. Thanks for the review!
I use it sometimes, and also like it. Really pleased you took the time to review it. Would like some of your opinions on other cheapies (Denim, One man show [and flankers], Arrogance)
I have original Musk and Black Musk. Black Musk is actually incredible as a fragrance, a surprising olfactory journey. But with that being said, it performs pretty badly. Poor projection, longevity and sillage
Cool review as always. Wanted to bring up a line of new colognes that Target is currently selling and if you've run into these or had any thoughts on them. They are Duck Cannon, Cremo, Every Man Jack and Goodfellow & Co. Smelled a few and off the back, they smelled like brands you would recognize, no surprise there. EMJ's Sandalwood smells like D&G The One and DC's Randolph smelled like Hugo Boss The Scent EDT. Cheers
Interesting choice for a review! The whole father/grandfather fetish bit cracked me up 😂. I would be curious to see your take on Guerlain Habit Rouge and its many flankers
It’s a cool fragrance. I just got it from frag net like a month ago. I haven’t worn it out yet. Lol. I like it though. Maybe soon I’ll venture out into the world wit it on...
The fact that right after you sprayed it a bird started squawking/screeching made me bust out laughing! It's like the bird smelled it immediately and was not pleased! 😂
It’s all about how perfume reacts to each individual , so what you say means nothing . I paid £100 for a cologne and stopped wearing it . Makes no difference about the price .
Day late and a dollar short ... Hey love this stuff. This and Chaz by Revlon were my first 2 school fragrances in the 80's ... they were cheap. To me it does smell in the same line of Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur.
LOL . I'm that dated old guy. Love the original Musk and White Musk (Billy D. Williams) is awesome! Tropical Musk is a beast! Haven't tried this one but it's next!!
I love this fragrance but it disappeared from the shelves quickly. I can't understand why, it is my favourite Jovan scent. Don't be put off by the cheesy name, it smells great!
Thanks for the review. Maybe you could shut down the air conditioner or other... thing making this background noise during the video when you are outside? EDIT : Sounds ok in the second part of the video, nice!
I have and I did not like it. It's dated, overly masculine and pungent. To be honest it stinks. Bogart one man show from the 80's is a better old school affordable masculine fragrance.
The fragrance and the ads came out before Conan the Barbarian so they didn't rip it off. The animated ad was pretty awesome! ua-cam.com/video/OALIUJ-yie0/v-deo.html
I am 35, i still love this one, i used to wear it when i was a teenager ... it's inexpensive but it's very nostalgic and i love it.
Hey Ashton, I would rather see review like this than obscure niche fragrance reviews any day.
4 year old comment but still relevant.
This was one of my first fragrances back when I was 12!!! It actually is still a great smell, especially for the price.
My Dad wore this along with Jovan Musk and Avon Black Suede. I have them all for nostalgic reasons...but I do wear the Black Suede from time to time.
What's black suede like?
@@RichMitch I have a bottle for the nostalgia as well. It smells aggressively elderly.
I’m one of the dudes who would love to see these make a comeback lol
If only the rest of the industry would recognize the projection of this one and Jovan Musk! Even Jovan Musk aftershave is stronger than many edp's out today (and that goes for Aqua Velva Musk, too!).
They have fantastic scents but they need a performance boost. Would love to see an EDP version of the various Jovan Musks

I used to spray myself with it at the drugstore when I picked up my hairspray and mousse.

The comparison to Pierre Cardin is spot on! A true blast from the past, I did wear both of those, in the late '70s!
you are currently the best reviewer in the world :)

Doing these types of scents is a nice change of pace. Just a fun thing to do 😁
Looks like Ashton could barely contain his laughter in that intro.

Love the video. you should do some more the old school cheapies for fun. Bring back those old school hippie scents. Love it.
Bought online for £7.95 a 88 ml Jovan cologne. The scent is unique ❺/❺, but the disadvantage is that 5-6 sprays last for no more than 30 minutes 😟
Great funny video Ashton😂 my oldest brother gave me this fragrance, I wore it in high school back in 1979-80
Thank you for reviewing this classic!
Yeah! Let's wear those 70's/80's colognes now! And...share this message to the world! 🤣🤣🤣Funny, Ashton! 😁
That orange marmalade color just screams quality. 🥧🍊
Oddly I like this one. I had this one tropical musk and white musk.
Love tropical and White Musk... Billy D. Williams!
I get compliments on Tropical Musk... believe it or not.
I have original Musk and Black Musk. Black Musk is actually incredible as a fragrance, a surprising olfactory journey. But with that being said, it performs pretty badly. Poor projection, longevity and sillage
I haven’t tried this one but Jovan Musk is a favorite ultra-cheapie for the gym
I seriously like it. I don't care about what the marketing material or the note breakdown says. I just love the way it smells!
It's the second cologne I ever purchased. My first was Brut by Faberge, cost me .50¢
@@gorohit that is all that matters
Let’s ALL bring back the retro/barbershops! A wave of machismo
lol. This is my 67yr old pops' go-to. *60%* of the time it works *every time*
It must work, I mean you're here. So it attracted your grandma.

Would love to see the rise of old school frags! Hahaha
Adore the entire Jovan line. Jovan Tropical Musk is my throw away, casual scent...offends none, liked by some. Preferred Stock next, please!
Keep those cheapies coming 👍👍
My fave scent, along with Brut, Joop, Drakkar, and CK, Old Spice!
Is that the new one by Jeremy?
😂😂😂
I usually to use this scent for after shower, before to go to sleep. It's perfect.

I'm 27 and I enjoy old school fragrances. 🤷♂️
It’s a cool fragrance. I just got it from frag net like a month ago. I haven’t worn it out yet. Lol. I like it though. Maybe soon I’ll venture out into the world wit it on...
I have a bottle of that Pierre Cardin...my favorite from that line was Pierre Cardin Musk....Ahhh memories....lol
How much?
This is what my 60 year old dad has wore for as long as I can remember, he always told me girls love it lol
The fact that right after you sprayed it a bird started squawking/screeching made me bust out laughing! It's like the bird smelled it immediately and was not pleased! 😂
It definitely is old school but it also has some sexiness to it especially after 10mins of dry down.
That ad poster is really cool, reminds me of Frank Frazetta's work.
it is.
It most likely is Frazetta art in my opinion , he did a lot of Conan art back in the day . i think he did most of the covers to the novels
It is the Frazetta painting "Against the gods."
So you are saying that if I start to wear this I will smell unique and different from everyone else? I'm thinking signature scent ... 😏
how do we tell when a fragrance is classic or if it's dated?
Musk, patchouli...and Nag Champa incense, according to my local perfumier...along with carnation.
It’s all about how perfume reacts to each individual , so what you say means nothing . I paid £100 for a cologne and stopped wearing it . Makes no difference about the price .
Great video Ash, love the background!
Love this this old school scent & Old Spice!!!
Day late and a dollar short ... Hey love this stuff. This and Chaz by Revlon were my first 2 school fragrances in the 80's ... they were cheap. To me it does smell in the same line of Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur.
I still a have an old small bottle of Jovan cologne from 1982.
LOL . I'm that dated old guy. Love the original Musk and White Musk (Billy D. Williams) is awesome! Tropical Musk is a beast! Haven't tried this one but it's next!!
Ron Burgundy likes this video. 😂🤣😂🤣
Patchouli and sandalwood monster! Old Spice on steroids!
I bought a bottle of this back in the early 90s when I was a teenager. It didn’t really do what it advertised 😂
Never said it turns toads into princes 😝
I love this fragrance but it disappeared from the shelves quickly. I can't understand why, it is my favourite Jovan scent. Don't be put off by the cheesy name, it smells great!
This has been so reformulated that it's a shadow of its former self. Back in the day it was killer.😀
Yes!! CLASSIC!! Now this is in my BUGDET!! 😎😎👌
Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur is awesome!
I'm down to spend 8 bucks to start the hype train
Is there a modern smelling scent witha hint of patchouli, or is patchouli too old school?
I used to get this because it smelled too close to Pierre Cardin
Hi ash i hope u review pierre cardin the mushroom bottle. Old spice OG not the new one and Brut
This was magic in the late 70s It came out in 1976. Dumb name but for drugstore it was awesome.
I remember Jovan musk from back in the day
Awesome review thank you for sharing
(spray, spray) Hey baby, you DTF? lol
Great review...my fave!
Wore this back in high school, didn't work. Went back to Old Spice and Brut.
Really I feel like you are trolling us with this 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day
Do you even realize this is somewhat of a parody? You rotated back to sentence 1 of 4.
Hey Ashton, could you find and review Jovan Ginseng N R G?
Awesome Scent! $10 at Walmart
Thanks for the review. Maybe you could shut down the air conditioner or other... thing making this background noise during the video when you are outside? EDIT : Sounds ok in the second part of the video, nice!
What's your favourite Jovan fragrance?
Kinda wanna buy it now 😂💸
Rammstein brought me here
I have that as a post shower freshie lol just spray it on after a shower
I would rather pay the shipping charges.
This proves it. I will click on anything. 😣
I bought it for the meme and I don't regret it
...mine arrived today! 10:09 I am definitvly one of the two to three!
I love the box, so cheezy 70s
Have you smelled azzaro pour homme
I have and I did not like it. It's dated, overly masculine and pungent. To be honest it stinks. Bogart one man show from the 80's is a better old school affordable masculine fragrance.
U get 9/10 , Mate.
Have you ever mixed up Jovan and Jovoy?
Me neither
Honest
I hope you named your dog Aventus
I agree 100 on this one. The only part thats remotely positive about this one is its final stages. Take care.
Personally never liked anything from Jovan. Would rather get some other cheapies. Like a small bottle of drakkar noir would suffice before this.
Being back the 80s... series
The fragrance and the ads came out before Conan the Barbarian so they didn't rip it off. The animated ad was pretty awesome! ua-cam.com/video/OALIUJ-yie0/v-deo.html
I was told by a girl that it smelled like lysol! Has anyone else had that experience?
I agree
Yoooo fammmmmmm ❤❤❤😜
Nice
The caps on these, at least musk, is so flimsy I threw it out lol
