Jovan White Musk is a voluptuous cloud of musk. The jasmine and amber are barely perceptible, but the ylang-ylang shines through that fluffy cloud. It suits my chemistry perfectly and can be layered with other perfumes. In my opinion, it’s an overlooked gem in the perfume world. It’s incredibly cheap, yet definitely doesn’t smell cheap… It’s dirty, yet smells clean… It’s a celestially voluptuous, creamy and clean scent, another ‘naked’ style reminiscent of Narciso Rodriguez, but less floral and more musky. It’s subtle, doesn’t project much and needs frequent reapplication. I hear it exists in oil form, which I imagine would last forever.

Jovan White Musk is a voluptuous cloud of musk. The jasmine and amber are hardly noticeable, but the ylang-ylang stands out in that musky foam. It suits my skin perfectly and can be layered over other perfumes. It’s hugely underrated: it smells clean, not cheap. It’s sensual, creamy and ‘naked’ style, less floral than Narciso but more musky. It’s subtle, doesn’t project much and needs reapplication. I hear it lasts forever in oil form.

Cream, talc, and powder… can it get any richer? Besides, it must contain petrichor. It has a strange smell of wet clay with woods, like rain on mud with flowers. I’m fascinated by its singularity and the sense of total cleanliness it evokes; it’s sensually relaxing, lasts subtly, and smells like expensive perfumes. It’s so similar, almost identical to Cacharel’s NOA.

I bought it a week ago and already feel the need for a backup. It has that clean girl vibe but isn’t sharp or citrusy like the usual ones; it smells like baby powder but very feminine and youthful. The downside is it doesn’t last long, even on clothes. I recommend it for any age and season; it’s very hot here and it’s not overpowering.

I didn’t know it until my friend Nixa in Panama gifted me one when she returned from her holidays. It smells like baby perfume, clean, it’s delicious, tender, and soft but noticeable. I love the sillage; many people tell me ‘you smell wonderful’. I’m very grateful it’s part of my collection.

My sister gifted it to me; I thought it would be a quirky, joke-like scent, and oh surprise, musk in all its glory. I love wearing it when I bathe at night, spritzing a little and sleeping fresh and powdery. I use it in winter and spring; it relaxes me and gives that sense of cleanliness.

My sister gifted it to me and I thought it would be a disaster, but what a surprise! Pure musk. I love it for evening; I mist it on and sleep feeling fresh and talcum-powdered. I use it in winter and spring, it relaxes me and gives a sense of cleanliness. I love it <3

It’s not expensive, it’s a classic, it smells of musk, clean, and talc. I’m a fan of musk, which is why I like it; I’ve had it for over two seasons and might buy it again just for the pleasure of owning it and using it once more. It’s pleasant to me, personally.

It conveys tranquillity, comfort, and relaxation. Great value for the performance. In my opinion, it’s another Gloria Vanderbilt; not because the scents are alike as an egg and a nut, but because they are both good and affordable fragrances.

I love it. It smells soft, clean, a bit powdery, very feminine… and it lasts a long time on the skin. The strange thing is that my boyfriend sometimes says I smell great and other times that I smell a bit like an older lady.

Delicious, soft and tender, yet noticeable. It leaves a delicate trail that makes a statement. It clings to the skin and clothes, smelling wonderful until the next day. A fantastic fragrance at a price that’s unbeatable.

Delicious, soft, tender and subtle, yet noticeable. It leaves a trail and makes itself felt. Excellent longevity on skin and clothes smell wonderful until the next day. A fantastic fragrance at an unbeatable price.

It brings me peace, comfort and relaxation. It’s worth every penny for its performance. In my opinion it’s another Gloria Vanderbilt: the scent isn’t identical, but both are top-tier fragrances at a bargain price.

It’s like a dream between white cotton sheets, what a clean and comfortable scent. Layering it with Teint de Neige by Villoresi (in moderation, otherwise it becomes overwhelming) looks spectacular.

I love it. It smells soft, clean, talcum-powdered and very feminine, and it lasts a long time. The odd thing is that my boyfriend says I smell great, and other times a bit like an older lady…

Fresh, soft and creamy, a good option for musk lovers. My sister uses it a lot and it’s one of her favourites for that ‘clean-earth’ scent, but it’s not my style.
RubyCrystal
Flowers, musk, and talc! It’s fresh, delicate, feminine, light, and youthful. When are you going to want something light but without losing elegance?
azuriiita
Although it’s fresh and sits well, to my taste it smells very much like ‘deodorant’. I wouldn’t buy it.
cossette
The sweetness reminds me of horchata, and honestly, I prefer it to Jovan Musk.
