Yes, it's long been marketed for women but the breakdown on Basenotes looks more or less within the range of something a man might wear. I'll have to sniff some next time I'm at the store. Anyone familiar with it?
My mother used to wear it back in the '70s and '80s... iirc it smelled very "fresh" but also definitely feminine. I don't remember the scent being particularly long-lasting. I think there's also a rule now that you have to be into your "senior years" in order to purchase it.
Figured something like that, but then, some think "old people" when they smell Shulton. Doesn't sound like the final drydown would be THAT feminine...will have to find out.
Yeah, but until that final dry down, you are going to smell very much like a chick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
It is. Just maybe not with lily of the valley. By itself, it's a sweet scent, in the same direction as vanilla.
Honestly, this is a quest like something from an Adam Sandler movie, and I am eagerly awaiting the results.
Several interesting observations in the comments here... according to some it's now more unisex than it used to be... https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Revlon/Jean-Nate-9025.html
Mystery solved. Was in CVS this morning, they had it ($13 a bottle?!?). Bright lemon up front, quickly followed by vague, synthetic florals and bergamot or something like it. Drydown didn't change must, just a residual lemony/powdery scent that projects one mm from the skin. Bottle dated 2014, made in Mexico. Resale shop, a gigantic bottle with no date but apparently older, made in the U.S. Much the same right off the bat, dried down to the bergamot/florals but now with much more (but still not much) of that sweet vanilla-ish tonka and the faintest hint of cedar. Conclusion: both are innocuous and decidedly feminine. Maybe on some people (including men) it turns into something woody and spicy but not on me, not a bit. Here's the weird part. It does bear fairly close resemblance to 4711, only sweeter and more lemony. To my nose, imagine a cross between Florida water and Heno de Pravia, that's about it as some have already figured out... https://www.google.com/search?num=5....64.psy-ab..7.2.407...0j33i21k1.0.ynSC_2tF3Mo
I picked up a quart of this stuff 6-7 years ago for my mother in law .I tried it once or twice.It is reminds me of a lemony sweet female clubman vanilla.A little too femme for me.
I use it and mostly notice the citrus scent. As we’ve said many times, scents do not have a sex. If you like it , use it.
