Our verdict on Musk: Favourite

A divisive classic, Jovan Musk is either a clean, comforting embrace or a trip down memory lane to Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's affordable, versatile, and unapologetically nostalgic, polarising opinions between adoration and indifference.

About

Jovan Musk opens with a bright, clean burst of neroli and bergamot, zesty yet understated. This citrus sparkle soon gives way to a soft, inviting heart of jasmine, subtly floral and sweet. The true star, however, is the musk that anchors the composition, creating a powdery, clean, and deeply comforting drydown that feels like a second skin. It's a simple, linear scent focused on a natural, intimate musk.
