Jovan Musk for Men is just one of those musky fragrances that seemed to be everywhere in the 1970s until the 1980s. It was first released by Jovan in 1973, and has gained a steady set of followers since then. Murray Moscona is the nose responsible for the scent. The top notes are identified as amalfi lemon, pepper, carnation and lime; middle notes are mint, lavender and amber; and base notes are musk and other woodsy accords.
