Jovan Fragrance

Bernard Mitchell founded Jovan Inc. in 1966. He chose "Jovan" because it sounded similar to the names of two rival companies, Revlon and Avon. It was sold to the Beecham Group in 1979 and later became part of Coty Inc. Jovan's groundbreaking advertisements helped it stand out from the competition. It even made history in 1981 by becoming the first fragrance company to sponsor a music group – specifically, the Rolling Stones. Jovan is best known for its variety of musk scents for both men and women.

What Are the Most Popular Jovan Perfumes?

Jovan built off its musk theme when producing its other fragrances. Some of its other popular perfumes include:

• Jovan White Musk (1990): A woody and floral scent, this perfume utilizes classic notes such as amber, honeysuckle and ylang-ylang.
• Jovan Island Gardenia (1982) This tropical fragrance will bring you right to the beach. It includes notes of peach and coconut alongside floral ingredients such as tuberose.

The musk notes make Jovan fragrances quite popular among men, as well. Two of its most well-known colognes are:

• Sex Appeal (1976) As its name implies, this cologne is meant to help males attract the opposite sex. It is a simple fragrance that features patchouli and sandalwood.
• Jovan Ginseng Nrg (1998) This rich cologne highlights ginseng, a healing ingredient found in natural remedies. Other notes include geranium, fig tree and tonka bean.

Whether you are heading out for a long day at work or a fun night at the club, you should not have to constantly reapply your fragrance. That is why Jovan perfumes and colognes are designed to last for hours.
