I’ve always been on the fence with this one. I love its sleek, freshly-soaped, “stepped out of the shower and into the ’90s” feel. Perfect for summer, only slightly dated. 😛 However, I find that its weaknesses lie in its fruitiness and lack of a dry, warm base. At least that’s how it translates on my skin. A little too much sweet apple and musk. I would’ve loved an emphasis on the thyme and mint from the top, and I also wish the cloves would’ve bloomed on me, as I get extremely little warmth. On the wrong skin, it comes off as fruity, musky, and sterile. On the right skin, I imagine its true character really comes forth and envelops you in nostalgic, stylish, welcoming comfort. I’ll enjoy my bottle regardless, but my skin is much better friends with the equally beautiful White Musk for Women.

Fantastic fragrance to start your day with, end your day with and everything in between. This might be one of the most inviting fragrance I have, it doesn’t announce itself but waits to be discovered by a passerby or someone standing next to you. Longevity on my skin using 4-5 sprays is around 3-4hrs with a wonderful little scent bubble around me the entire time. I would recommend decanting some to carry with you so you can re-fresh throughout the day.
White Musk has easily become my favorite offering from Jovan and an excellent fragrance for both men and women. Check it out!!

White musk smells so good.
igos 666 – :
I actually love the scent of white musk. white musk in general. This one is really nice. a nice white musk – powdery spicy laundry clean musk, then I definitely get green apples, a little bit of melon underneath, a touch of mint early on. There is a sweet tangy greenness later on combined with the apple scent. I am not really a fan of apple scents, and it is strong in this one, but at the same time it’s not overly strong. I think there is some mint along with it which I like. I love the clean soapyness spicyness of white musk, and this one is pretty good. It is a softer sort of scent which lasts but is not as strong as the original.
The women’s version is also very good – more floral. this one has the green apple scent in it. anyways it’s nice, and the white musk part is the best. It’s pretty strong, but not overpowering – actually like it says on the box.
Very clean soapy musk spicy scent without any of the raunch or animalic qualities of the original musk. but I like that one too. I like that one more. I wanted to try this one, it’s much more a cleaner fruitier scent.
Yeah I like the scent of white musk.

Oh Jovan,you are and were always likable with your special scent,what a pity that now there are so few choices to buy!!But the rest of it is good?Today is the turn of the White musk,a more recent version of the scent that made this house famous(indeed) internetionally,this scent is lovely,it is sweet but spicy and at the end,well behaved.The musk in it is softer and the blend of fruits give it a better outcome then the generic white musk we find usually in stores.Women love this scent,there is no time freeze for this elegant musk,and a charming scent must be close,and infact it project very little,but last for a good 4 hours.
рутулес – :
Fruity, musky, pleasant, but overall leaves me indifferent. Bought is a companion to Musk which i find far more interesting. There is a light transparent quality to WM which makes it very easy to wear. If i did not have more fragrances i could have actually spent more time with it.

I like to share an intresting fact about this fragrance. This is a very excellent aphrodisiac. If you don’t believe try it. The result will be surely amazing.

kameshkoff – :
The scent reminds me of the balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico in the spring or autumn. Fresh. I would prefer more spice. Cloves is listed but it never comes to front on my skin. I would enjoy the cloves to be more noticeable.
bardanov82 – :
started off with sex appeal, the jovan musk and now white musk, i think this house is so under rated, and most of their stuff we find here in bangladesh are very pleasant, im looking to buy the black musk, the amber and oud ones, they last only 2 hours tops but smell wise beautiful, perfect for indoors…

Ok, this one is not exactly edgy couture, but I keep it in my bathroom medicine cabinet. Perfect for bedtime on a warm summer’s night. Also good for those days when you don’t feel like saying anything and you just want to be gently comforted. The comments about its unisex, even feminine qualities are not wrong, except in this case, those aspects manifest as nurturance, like stealing a nap on your mother’s satin pillow. It’s not smelling like a teenage girl going to the mall or something. Best of all–it’s a hint of sweet that I can actually wear without having a vomity headache.
evgenica – :
Reading from the description, one would think that this is an aquatic. There’s nothing sea-like with this fragrance. It’s powdery, sweet and has that cola-like note…to my nose at least!
Pleasant enough for casual, daily wear and when running errands. Nothing more, nothing less.
Longevity is subpar but that is okay considering the price and what would you have expected in the first place?

tastak43 – :
Very pleasant, peaceful scent. Green, citrusy crisp opening. Reminds me garden on early autumn. Apple note smells wonderful. Later powdery musk starts dominate, dry cloves gives more masculine and woody feel. Versatile, everyone can wear it. Longevity 4 hours + few more hours of skin scent musk on me.
zsl539InsuffBooni – :
Absolutely unisex and just too much on the feminine side for me. I wore it a whole day recently, a hot August day and I just couldn’t get use to how much it smells like women’s perfumes and lotions. How could this ever be for a man I don’t know. Amazing sweet apple scent with light citrus and soft floral… so female!

REVIEW
Ok. This going to be a little long, but needed. I think many people have not given this fragrance just do. It is a fragrance that gives more quality than the price really represents.
First, it is an explosion of lavender, mint, and Thyme. The thyme and mint gives it a minty cool tone and the lavender gives it a smooth soapy feel. The fruits & citrus depth. 2 layers 1) cool 2) cool and floral (citrus & melon in the background).
Longevity -3/4 hr
Sillage- 1st hr over an arms length, & last 2 hrs or so 2 feet sillage ON ME.
Add an 1/2 hrs, if you spray your clothes.
Not cloying, unless you spray ridiculously.
9/10 for price, compliments,and uniqueness alone
REASONS FOR HIGH SCORE
It is what Cartier Roadster could be, if it were this much of a classic. The Jovan name being precieved as dated & cheap is the only reason this is not more beloved.
If it were in a different bottle & a more acceptable name with at least a $30 RETAIL price tag, it would be raved about. I don’t understand the popularity of Roadster (which is not a bad scent!) and not mentioning this minty, citrus, floral, unisex pleasing classic.
However, the fragrance is reminiscent of chewing gum after the sweetness has disappeared, and a unisex vibe that really complements a man just as much as it can compliment a woman. Just–FRESH anytime for any place or occasion. A dumb reach.
The bottle looks cheap, the top looks cheap, the box looks cheap, but the fragrance is all class. Lol hehehehehe
I would venture to say that this is one of the most unique smelling fragrances I ever put my nose on, and I have had hundreds!!!! Lol.
For a man, I must say that we need not to wonder if women will like the smell. All we have to do is just look at the comments below and women are chiming in saying it is a wonderful scent.
Review coming soon

First spray and I decide not to give this little gem to my boyfriend lol. Definitely unisex and when I wear it I got a lot of compliments. The scent is clean and fresh, very good for summer. Also I think I can wear it all year round day or night. I sprayed 10 sprays in the morning it last around 3-4 hours. And the price is very cheap compared to other brands. I bought this from Antz and Tulipe shop in Japan for 2 bottles cost only 1980 Yen.
simka64 – :
Is the first time I am wearing it and I don’t think I aver owned a Jovan fragrance before. I got it just out of the reviews here and because I saw it on sale, really?! yeah even though is not an expensive fragrance it was even on a bargain price so I decided to give a try, and I gotta say is a very pleasant essence, you can find it the modest price of 12.99 in fragrance net site or lower price around online. Is nothing wring with it and is more than worth it to give a try.
smile1986 – :
This is a nice, fresh sunny day scent. It’s has light golden apple / hesperidic qualities that are great for a casual afternoon.
asuma – :
Another Jovan I got for my husband that he will have to share with me. This reminds me of apple cider, very clean and fresh, lovely scent, completely unisex.I just bought it for 3$ on ebay! can you believe something this good can be found for such little money?
I need to explore more of Jovan,I am impressed.
pav1968 – :
This fragrance smells nice & classy.
The drydown is mildly similar to Hugo by Hugo Boss – basically the green apple scent…other than that these two are very different scents..
Longevity is around 4-5 hours on open skin & might be more on clothes..
Non-offensive & clean scent with the smell of some expensive cream or body lotion.
Layering this with Ahsan Original Musk perfume oil available in India makes the combo smell much better.
A good purchase for daily usage.
ewb390InsuffBooni – :
A warm, fresh and inviting fragrance with a mild creaminess coupled with fruity undertones. I usually don’t gravitate towards fragrances like this, but this is well done. A nice casual scent that will not offend and will give you a feeling of cleanliness and heighten your sensual adventures.
ivan881488 – :
Very expensive smell for a cheap price,what can we
Expect more..
smells. Very creamy with a lot of musk…an extremely clean
And soapy smell
The beginners should try it ..as its not a risky choice because no one dislike it..its a semi sweet scent with a light citrus fruity punch in context..
Extremely cheap and impressive work by jovan..
Well done
The smell is absolutely Devine because I have never smell any like that before..worth making a high quality copy of this charmer..
But unfortunately I haven’t git any cologne that smells similar to this one..
Smell: 10 out fo 10 (shines at drydown)

Funny story – the event that kickstarted my perfume hobby was my work with an American businessman in 1992, who wore an AMAZING cologne at that time. I was, like, enthralled every time I met him during the meetings. He was in his mid-50s typical lawyer kind of guy, and I was wondering silently WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WEARING MAN for couple of weeks. Then he left, but the memory about the scent stayed. The fragrance was kind of silver in association, a bit musky, effervescent, fruity but dry, a bit sweet, sensual but professional, comforting, simple and easy – perfect in every way.
My stupidity of not asking him what cologne did he use resulted in a quest that has lasted for 20+ years. I was searching high and low, reading carefully the pyramids of the notes, trying samples, buying left and right the fragrances that seemed to fit the description – Image, Gendarme, you name it. Then I got a mini of Jovan Musk and thought wait a minute, is that it? Not quite, but what if… Jovan WHITE Musk? The 1992 release?
Ordered and received it today – gentlemen, this gestalt of mine is closed at last. It was fun ride, and I’m glad my search is over. If I lived in the USA, I would have found this scent much sooner, but it’s better late than never. I hope you all understand the emotions behind my rant, not happens every day.
Jovan White Musk, who would have thought.

Cannot wait for the summeeeer…in the meantime, sniffing this one is like being there,well,almost so…

i think its the best fragrance for the summer
musky + fresh + soapy thats what i want in the hot summer

Yes, yes, yes! Jovan White Musk cologne spray for men is unisex.
I love so many Jovan fragrances for women, I’ve gone over to the men’s side of the line to see if any of those will also work with my chemistry and tastes. It is an affordable adventure.
I always get sucked in by musks and gourmands. So I was surprised how much I adore this. Geranium, thyme, and mint? Oh, my! That is normally not my thing at all.
There is something very L’Artisan about this fragrance. Maybe it’s the clove. Which sample did I smell years ago that I am recalling now as I smell JWM for men?
This cologne spray is fresh, sweet, spicy, herbaceous, soft, with delicious melon in the center. A very nice departure from my usual decandent smoky, amber, vanilla, balsamic, tobacco, leather, cocoa, woody tastes.
I am a little curious about why and how Jovan fragrances are so good. It makes me want to research who the “noses” are behind these creations. I found articles about founders Mitchell and Shipp and the company being bought and sold time and again since its launch in 1968 with cutting edge unisex musk oil packaged in a daring orange box. Hmmm… They did something right.
13legion13 – :
I forgot how good this really is! Nothing fancy, a smooth, soft, clean, snuggly, happy comforting scent. Cheapies have a way of sneaking up on me, they start by being nice and after a while end up being annoying and getting on my nerves. But not this one! This keeps making me smile throughout its entire lifetime. And after a few hours I am surprised to find myself sniffing for it, a bit sad that it’s gone from my skin and happy to find it still lingering on my clothes. They say the simple things in life turn out to be the best – Jovan must have made this one just to prove it. And they couldn’t have done it better!
afta – :
it was nice fragrant.when i was meet with my wife she love me and after ask me the fragrant.
Tatar – :
Musky, floral, fresh. Sweetish melon and some green herbs. Ok sillage and longevity for a cologne (if the word indicates concentration, I don’t know). This is a pleasant and happy fragrance mainly for spring and summer, quite good especially for the price.
ohs713speagoessenda – :
This purchase was an after-thought, as I was buying a different fragrance and got this to add on as an inexpensive accessory.
It turns out that my bottle of Jovan White Musk is vintage (based on searches I’ve done on older bottles). I was completely surprised by how good it is. The predominant note is white musk, which is much lighter and approachable than traditional musk. Underneath is a generous helping of melon, but accompanied by mint, green apple, and a few herbs. It has a semi-sweet quality without being cloying. A perfect, easy going kind of summer fragrance that could easily be classified as unisex. For me, the mint note really captures the freshness.
As is expected from light airy fragrances like this, the longevity is not very long–3~4 hours tops. But that’s fine, given how affordable it is. Sometimes you want a fragrance that lasts for a little while and then makes fades off. Keep a little atomizer ready and it’s easy to freshen up.
I’ve no experience with the latest formulation, but if it’s like any other Jovan fragrance I expect the vintage to be superior.
Jeff_776 – :
if your age 101 and above you can wear this stupid fragrance i have ever smell .
this is not fragrance this is smell of death of you hear about zombies they are coming wear this fragrance and no Zombie will eat you they will run away from you and your fragrance, this is like cats pee, this is Source of the headache, after i read the Review and a lot of review who says it’s amazing, god i wish if i don’t read the review and i don’t bought it .
With all do respect to those who love it and buy it.
bbnndizywq – :
I sprayed it on my hand 1 hour ago and i came to read the top notes because i was sure that i’m not be the only that gets a JPG Le Male vibe, a sweet but not cloying scent, very subtle yet noticeable, definetly worth to buy this.
Rocié esto en mi mano hace 1 hora y vine a leer las notas principales porque estaba seguro de que no sería el único que siente un parecido a JPG Le Male, un olor dulce pero no empalagoso, muy sutil, pero perceptible, definitivamente vale la pena probar y comprar esto!
Update: no quiero decir que es igual a Le Male, sino más bien algo que puede ser considerado como algo más soportable y menos denso que Le Male dentro de la linea de aromas sutiles, dulces y al mismo tiempo frescos y no empalagosos, además por el precio es una joya 🙂
Does not mean it’s like Le Male , but rather something that can be considered as more bearable and less dense than Le Male within the line of subtle, sweet and quite “fresh” at same time, not cloying smell, and for the price is a jewel 🙂
denwer – :
This is a good fragrance for spring morning. Longevityis average , projection is good . The thing i like about it is the powdery feel with the musk.
It is good , but not for going on dates .
Good for a get together . A simple , clean and fresh spring frag
Nothing much 🙂

Magnificent somewhat like the original but way too better
vitya.denis – :
I Liked this Jovan White Musk, I remember comparing it to the original Jovan Musk and was so glad I got this one instead. It was a clean, citrus, with a hint apple smell that unfolded into a light musk. Nothing long lasting or truly impressive but inoffensive and light. I could see this being worn by the ladies. I wore this in my teens when it was given as a gift from my Grandfather who never really gave out gifts. Still, as a perfumaniac I splashed this on for days. I do think there was something that gently reminded me of the sea, more so than the sea the sand. A sandy white beach.
stas76 – :
It is lite, fresh and creamy. It has a nice old fashioned soap cleanness.
If you ever smelled the old shaving cream soap bars that gave barber shops their unique smell – this fragrance has it. It reminds me of the days when I used to get my neck shaved with a straight razor after a haircut.
Wrestling aside all the baggage of my memory there is a nice enough melon & apple although I only get the citrus & mint for a minute or two after spraying. The musk is the star of the show. Plays a major role throughout the medium life of the scent. It’s a light musk of the gently dry, powdery & airy type – that mixed with the cloves & apple to create a refreshing and unique creaminess.
If you spray this on your clothes you will smell some floral notes midway into it – but if you spray it on your skin it will have more of a creamy musk smell.
DO NOT mistake this for Jovan Musk … they are different fragrances.
dekameron – :
beach on a bottle…
Abdula2010 – :
A very well-made scent from Jovan that is more of a refreshing, vibrant and lightly sweet musk than the brand’s other offerings. I have a classic 4oz splash bottle of Vintage in the original box. I picked it up along with a number of bottles that were in my father’s collection (in the cabinet next to the mirror) – vivid memories and scents from my youth…all Vintage musk scents that I wanted to revisit after over two decades. I am glad I did – this is one he never had, but I was very intrigued when I heard about it, but a little worried it may be too sweet. It isn’t – this is very fresh and unique! It is definitely masculine – my wife adores it on me and it is very well-composed.
What I like about it is how the freshness of the citrus and mint stay on top of the “juicy” melon note. The clove is underneath, giving a nice spicy and slightly ‘earthy’ nuance. It is just sharp enough without being intrusive in the blend. This is done well.
Geranium and Thyme are used proportionately here – offering both a nice floral touch (I think one of the most important notes bringing this together is the geranium – key note in the heart) along with the delicate greenness from the thyme. There is a “peach”-accord that some people get out of this. I think it is more of a perception of the color and scent’s light sweetness. Personally, I get more of a fresh mint blended with melon and nice florals to create a fresh, yet slightly fruity vibe that is airy and lifted. I don’t find that it smells like peach (and I know a true peach note well in fragrance from my wife’s collection). The drydown does have that nice apple note, but it is well-integrated and crisp. Overall, a very nice scent that smells significantly different from any other Jovan offering and is wonderful to splash on during warmer days – summer, as well as spring and fall (in California).
I really like this old bottle and am happy I picked it up, but there is no comparison at all to the composition of Le Male. Understanding what this even is – one cannot mistake it or say one is better. They are unique. There is no vanilla at all in this scent and it wears as a splash cologne should – light and airy…it has very nice aromatics that are not cloying or offensive. Moderate projection and about 4 hours of longevity. Very nice.
Very well done – I recommend it.
JohnXXX – :
This is quite sweet and powdery for a man’s fragrance. I am a woman and I have no problem wearing it. It smells very clean, slightly sweet but not nauseatingly so, kind of like certain scented Kleenex. It does not have a strong personality but it is very pleasant to smell. A good everyday office fragrance when you want to smell nice and clean but not invasive. Staying power is average, about 3-4 hours for me.
Gusarqygzm – :
a good for everyday using one, smooth and not pretentious at all but with enough appeal and not similar to anyother, anyway I dont think this is that long lasting, not in my skin at least…
Halyavvkin – :
This is really nice, actually. A lovely, light, daytime frag that wouldn’t offend anyone. Very charming for occasions when you’d like to appear as if you’re a nice person.
Dries down (after the cliche fruity/aqua top subsides) into a low-sillage, cedar-herby frag with a silky base- a quiet, solemn day, sitting near waves. I sometimes like to wear this while reading.
andrejkirichek – :
Lovely for daytime and summer,not too strong but sweet.This is a unique male fragrance that smells like no other.Has sparkling and sherberty accords but doesnt last long enough.Had the same fragrance about 15years ago and it was much better.I wish that manufacturers like jovan would keep their original strength and formulas even if it means increasing their prices.I,m sure fans would not mind in the slightest,well at least I wouldn’t!!
p.s Jovan please bring back Andron and Grass Oil if you are reading this…

Sprayed this on my skin today. Smells almost identical to le male. And a lot cheaper.

realy nice clean and musky and little soapy << my favorite kinds
MiKol1 – :
Nice, cheap, nothing offensive about it but nothing special either. A lighter musk scent more suitable to day.
ProwPeldevodo – :
it starts with clove-mint notes and then dries down to the most loveliest citrusy – sweet apple scent.
