Sexy fruity leather
I'm glad I took a chance and ordered this not-so-famous gem. Initially, there was too much alcohol to detect any of the notes here. But after about 10 mins or so, my nose picked up pink berries with leather and musk. The berries and the musk are equally present here. But note that the berries aren't exactly fresh as they would be in a fruity/floral perfume. The berry note in this gives it a heavy (but not cloying) sort of sweetness due to the generous amount of musk they put into it. After about an hour, the berries and the musk settled on my skin equally strong.

For my own personal preference, I wish that they turned down the musk a tad bit and added some more of the sharper leather note that was present in the beginning. It certainly could use a "pick me up" after about a couple of hours because it gets really heavy due to the musk. Still though, it could totally rock the boat of those who appreciate these types of fumes!

However, that being said, for the price, you'd be getting a cologne with the staying power of ANY expensive EDP in the market. Projection and sillage are just excellent!

If you like berries and your skin works with musk and leather really well, given the low price this large bottle, Black Musk could be your everyday scent or even special occasion companion.

Ultra sexy, berry-laced, leathery musk... This is a woman's perfume; NOT for little girls! ;)

Black Musk - what a name! Black is beautiful they said in the late 80s or Black Power years before, Black Music then with the RNB hype in the 90s and in 2009 Jovan releases a fragrance called Black Musk. Black is definitely not that sweet generic slush in the cheap segment. The color of the bottle gives a hint of what’s really behind it. All-sweet plastic that almost borders on bodily harm. Yuck!
The scent is at most for very little girls who like to perfume their dolls. Please, dear women, if you have taste, buy yourself another fragrance... be it an Esprit, Mexx, Campell, Aguilera, and co, but not Black Musk by Jovan. Spare your fellow humans from this disgusting concoction.

oh je...
My curiosity led me to try it at Rossmann. That was about 2 hours ago, and now I'm glad that there aren't too many fruit flies around this time of year.... Scents smell different on everyone, and on me, this one smells like fermented May punch that was forgotten somewhere after the May dance and has been exposed to the elements for too long. Initially, I found this fragrance pleasant, fruity and floral, nice. But after half an hour, it became a bit unpleasant, so I'm going to wash it off now! Some components just don't work with my skin; it really smells like fermented fruit juice, mixed with some sweet goo, indefinably unpleasant and not for me... ):

rather dark red
Today I browsed in the freely accessible drugstore corner at Rossi, which has the advantage that you can take your time.
The purple packaging of Jovan Black Musk caught my attention - and the orange Jovan also scored points with me.

I don't perceive the scent as black at all - rather pomegranate red, as the pomegranate greets me juicily and runs through the entire fragrance theme.
Nectarine and orange also drip onto my arm - deliciously fruity.
Freesia and jasmine are bright - but are slightly darkened by the powdery iris.
The second delicious factor is the crème brûlée note that now pours over my skin, spiced with woody accords.

A successful, caressing fragrance blend that my fragrance-critical husband also likes.

I was sure that I already owned Black Musk, but that is not the case.
I'll take it with me on my next visit to Rossi.

fruity sensual and warm
honestly, I don't have much experience.. but I've had the chance to sniff a few fragrances.. I am a huge musk oil fan.. I've had that scent with me since I was "old enough".. and when I saw the beautiful pink bottle that suddenly stood next to it, I thought hey, let's give it a sniff..

my husband liked this scent even better than the musk oil.. because it brought not only warm notes but also this fruity lightness into play.. that's why it came home with us..

I was once approached and someone asked me.. wow, that smells really strong, is that Alien? hm.. I find only slight parallels to that scent, but maybe it was referring to the intensity of the fragrance..

I definitely don't find it too doll-like or artificial, on the contrary, I quite like it

With that name, you expect something different. It's just sweet, sweet, sweeet, not a masterpiece of perfumery, one-dimensional and boring!
