Jovan Musk anyone ?

[jaffacake2000]

My two favourite (old times) are: 'Old Spice' aftershave and 'Jovan Musk for Men' (which is the one that smells in the barbershop).

So, today i went out and bought a 'Jovan Musk for men' but on the bottle it says: "Aftershave/cologne" so what is it really? is it aftershave or is it a cologne?

if its aftershave you splash on your freshly shaven face to make it sting and if its a cologne you just dab a litte on your face and chest or if its "Aftershave/cologne" you can do both or drown yourself in it...thats coz i like whatever you call it Aftershave or cologne for the fragernce to linger around on for at least a whole day.

Of some of the aftershave i have tried none of them has that strong nice fragerence to linger around but when i go out you only find very few people (usually the rich and the young) splash aftershave thats stays around for a while and i keep wondering what is the name of that bottle and its like its the most nicest thing i ever smelt - but i dont think i have smelt violets of lavender on anyone.

What is the fragrance you are referring to in this paragraph?

that Jovan musk was very popular back in the 80's here in Montreal. I remember receiving a bottle of it as a gift from an old girlfriend at the time, and I didn't really like it. When I'd go out with her, I'd dab on a drop or 2, but only when I'd see her.

Some clerk at a store once told me that the aftershave/cologne classification was given to weak colognes that have a lower fragrance oil to alcohol ratio.
This would make it less irritating to the face, but still contain a higher ratio than regular aftershaves.
I bought some two years ago. It smelled fine at the store, but when I used it after shaving, it was a bit irritating to my face. Also the fragrance seems bother me after a while. After 20 minutes the musk is gone and a lingering clove smell is all that's left. The bottle is still full.
