The Story
Jovan Dial-a-Tan Aftershave Balm was a quirky 90s release that combined sunless tanning with a soothing aftershave. It had a fresh, slightly sweet scent with a hint of coconut and aloe. The balm was designed to gradually develop a tan while calming razor burn. It's a nostalgic piece of fragrance history that reminds me of summer days and simpler times.
