Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sex Appeal
Don't let the name or '70s vibe fool you - Jovan Sex Appeal is a divisive, nostalgic beast, but it's punching well above its price point. It's a love-it-or-hate-it spicy oriental that some find sophisticated and others deeply uncool.
Statement
Our Verdict - Truly For Men
If you're into that iris, powdery vibe but don't want to shell out for Dior Homme, this is a no-brainer. It's a genuine banger with serious lasting power for a fraction of the cost. Get on it before everyone else does.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sex Appeal

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

This fragrance's strong spicy intensity and a tendency towards being perceived as 'old school' means it's less suited for office and formal wear. It shines brightest in casual settings, particularly in cooler weather, where its warmth can be appreciated on a date.

Truly For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its long-lasting, sophisticated character, and the fact that reviewers wear it to work, make it a solid choice for office and suitable for formal events due to its amber and woody notes. It's too refined for casual sport, but excellent for date nights where its distinctiveness can really shine.
