Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

With its strong sillage and moderate longevity, this scent is best suited for situations where it can make an impression without being overpowering. Its rich, spicy character makes it a good fit for dates and casual outings, especially in cooler weather, but might be a bit much for the office if oversprayed.

About

Jovan Woman opens with a brisk, almost green aromatic woody accord, swiftly followed by a warm, exotic blend of spices. Nutmeg and coriander lend a sharp, invigorating edge before mellowing into a rich, ambery heart. A subtle sweetness from ylang-ylang and orange blossom rounds out the deep, woody base, creating a complex and surprisingly elegant dry-down.
