Whisper of Musk by Jovan c1984

Whisper of Musk by Jovan: launched in 1984.





It was available as:

  • 1/4 oz perfume spray
  • 1 oz Cologne Spray

Fragrance Composition:


So what does it smell like? It is classified as an animalic floral chypre fragrance for women. It begins with an aldehydic top, followed by a woody floral heart, resting on a sweet, musky base.
  • Top notes: bergamot, lemon, aldehyde, green note, fruit note
  • Middle notes: jasmine, rose, carnation, patchouli, sandalwood
  • Base notes: musk, vanilla, amber, moss, benzoin, castoreum, labdanum

Working Woman, 1984:
"Discover how much a whisper can say. Introducing Jovan Whisper of Musk. Now it's easier to leave word anywhere."

The New York Times, 1984:
"Max Factor's Magic Musk by Toujours Moi, at $10 for the 1.65 ounce size, is one of the more sophisticated musk products. So is Whisper of Musk, a new product by Jovan. ''We decided to go a little more upscale,'' said Mr. Forkish at Jovan. The move, he said, reflects the popularity of musk among older men and women. ''The interest has grown in just the last 6 to 8 months,'' he said."

Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown. I believe it may have been discontinued around 1986.
