Replacement for Jovan Ginseng for men (Vintage?)
12-28-2011 11:47 AM
Hey all,
I (and my father) can't stand 99% of colognes for men, they simply smell like perfume... I don't always want to smell like a woman, or metro at best.
I've got this old aftershave cologne I took from my grandfathers stash when he died, I love the way it smells. It's Jovan Ginseng (Not the NRG). I've smelled Jovan's current Ginseng NRG and it doesn't compare, this little 1/2oz bottle has been around longer than I have and I'm 26.
When I wear some Adidas cologne my friends' girlfriends compliment me, when I wear Jovan Ginseng their mothers compliment me. I'm not looking for cougars, but I like the status I get from this cologne. I swear It adds 20 years. There isn't much left, and I've been using it sparingly since '99 so I'm looking for a replacement.
I have a bunch of kid cologne (CK1, Adidas, etc) but I have nothing that can replace this when it's out.
Unrelated -- Women love when I wear my cheap Adidas cologne. It's not that good, it's not that fancy or expensive... But I get non-stop compliments when I wear it and a lot of lingering hugs. Not sure why, but it seems to really work for my chemistry I guess.
It's never too late to be who you could have been

Interesting, well you do have to keep in mind that perfumes/colognes change as they age. I think the shelf life on any commercial scent before it changes is 6 months. If you want a dupe of what you have currently, that will last a bit longer, I suggest talking to Mara over at LPMP
She is listed as a pheromone retailer here, but she's been a perfumer for far longer than she's been retailing pheromones ![Smile Smile](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
