Jovan Island Gardenia Perfume By Jovan for Women


1.5 oz - Cologne Spray
Item #467298




Jovan was founded in 1968, in Chicago. Its founder, Bernard Mitchell, successfully launched top selling perfumes for more than a decade before selling the company to the Beecham Group. In the late 1980’s the company was bought again, and renamed Quintessence. Quintessence merged with Coty in the early 1990s, but the original name was retained, with many classic perfumes still sold today. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Nice but strong
Very pretty, but reminds me more of something my grandma would wear (I'm 41). Also, it's super strong right when you put it on, but then fades to barely there.

What a good buy this fragrance is.
I find this perfume to be comforting. I don't use too much or it can be cloying until it settles but just a little spritz will do. It keeps me company in a nice soft way and you just cannot beat the price.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

When I first apply there is a scent I can't put my finger on, I'm not fond of it, but once my body chemistry changes it, that scent is gone and it's a beautiful floral scent.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Pretty gardenia smell
Lovely gardenia smell. Longevity is about 2 hours on me. Luckily, the bottle is slim and compact and carried easily in the purse. For the price, I can spritz it every 2 hours all day long. I find it easier on the nose than say, Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia and not as cloying as Michael Kors signature fragrance. I think that if you love gardenia and tuberose, you will be very surprised and happy with Jovan's Island Gardenia for everyday use. Save the expensive stuff for special times :)
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

The tropics in a bottle
On me this fragrance has a toasted coconut, buttery note to it that saves it from being just a run of the mill floral. Sillage is low to moderate, so you can wear this to work without annoying your co-workers, however longevity for a cologne is pretty fantastic. I find that I can still smell it after 6 hours, and if I want it to last even longer, I layer it with Jovan Musk for Women. When I do that, it lasts 10-12 hours. The only downside to this fragrance is that it smells just the tiniest bit rough. By this I mean, it's not particularly well blended, and you can tell it's not an expensive fragrance. Nonetheless it's a lovely everyday choice particularly as a winter pick up. It's a bit too much in really hot, humid weather.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Smells like hairspray on me
Luckily, FragranceX has a small sample size of this one, so you can "try before you buy!" Apparently, Jovan Jungle Gardenia turns into a shimmering cloud of sensuality on many people -- but on me, it smells like hairspray. So please stock more sample sizes, FragranceX! It will definitely make your customers happy.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Don't judge a book by its cover
This fragrance is very simple, nothing complicated or bold, it has a very warm oily gardenia flowery texture to it that makes it very great to wear and its not offensive to the nose.

I would buy this product over and over.
Really love the smell of gardenia and this product is the best for everyday use. I have a special gardenia fragrance for special occasions but use this one all the time. It's wonderful to have it delivered to your door.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Discreet, feminine and elegant
Not as overpowering as Estee Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia, which is possibly the most naturalistic gardenia perfume out there, Jovan Island Gardenia is the perfect, and much cheaper, alternative if you want a wonderful gardenia with a creamy coconut twist.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
