As many have already noted, producer Robert Abel and director Michael Gibson also did the Jackson's classic "Can You Feel it" 2 years after this. I'm also pretty sure it's the same announcer, living legend (at the time of this writing he's 97) Ken Nordine.
.....and now JOVAN introduces the most ground breaking scent of our time, METRO. For those whose sexuality is as deep as it is esoteric. METRO.......it’s so complex it smells ✨
This was a great cologne, and the fact that the bottles fit together. I used to get lots and lots and lots of hot ladies, back in the day, when I wore MAN. Where is it now?
It might have been. Both this ad and the Jacksons video were designed and directed by Robert Abel and Associates, and both were released at around the same time as well
Jovan was a fragrance company that produced some very memorable scents starting in the early 70s with Jovan Musk, Grass Oil, Ginseng, Sex Appeal, Monsieur Jovan and are even credited with creating one of the first (if not THE first pheromone infused scent, "Andron") until they were bought out by Coty in the mid 90s. Coty phased out many of the classic Jovan scents and made inferior formulations of the scents they decided to keep in their stable. Vintage Jovan scents are well worth the search if you can still find fresh bottles...
MAN the 70s were COOOOOL!! This ad is so BITCHIN!!! AwoooHoooo!! Yeah, and I had the essence of total femininity on my face last night, and it didnt come out of a bottle!! Yeaaaaaaaaaahh!! ;D
