Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ma Dame EDT
Ma Dame is divisive, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent with a uniquely artificial fruity sweetness. It screams fun and youthful irreverence - definitely not for shrinking violets.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Make Them Talk EDP
A modern, everyday musk that aims to be a crowd-pleaser. While it offers good value and a pleasant scent, some find it a bit too safe and lacking the distinctive edge of other Jōvan offerings. Perfect for those who prefer uncomplicated freshness.
