Fresh Patchouli by Jovan c1999

Fresh Patchouli by Jovan : launched in 1999.

So what does it smell like? According to Jovan: "Outdoor freshness of bright green cut grass is tickled with droplets from a watery green accord and touched with the warmth of vanilla and patchouli leaf. Matched with a tender bouquet of sunny freesia, morning jasmine, and opulent white rose. A fresh interpretation of an "Underground" classic."

• Top notes: aldehydes, cut grass, watery green accord 
• Middle notes: patchouli, freesia, jasmine, white rose
• Base notes: patchouli leaves, vanilla

Unfortunately, to much dismay, this perfume was discontinued around 2008.

Mink and Pearls by Jovan c1968

"Luxury beyond expectation...without furs, without jewels, you could be in Mink & Pearls.."

Jovan introduced Mink and Pearls in 1968. In its advertisements, it was touted as the most luxurious fragrance ever blended and Jovan claimed it had a secret "narcotic, floral note" hidden deep inside which was probably the tuberose. The perfume was meant to change with the wearer's chemistry to produce an individualistic scent.

"You could wear it for a thousand nights and never repeat the same emotions."
