Sean John Unforgivable Eau de Toilette for Men 75 ml

Product Information

Compared to the bright, fruity freshness of Millesime Imperial, Unforgivable by Sean John is sort of like a more seductive, darker Casanova figure. In a blind smell test, I think you’d really struggle to tell the difference between Creed Millesime Imperial and the Fragrance Oils’ impression. This does remind me of Millesime Imperial, but the quality is not nearly as good and longevity is unfortunately very fleeting.

For the first 2 – 3 hours, people will be noticing your fragrance from a couple of feet away – and probably saying very nice things. Citron Del Mar opens up with the same salty melon fruitiness as Armaf’s Milestone, reminiscent of the OG Imperial Millesime.It was touted as being Sean Combs' ode to being on the beach resorts of Italy's Amalfi Coast and was said to contain notes of salty ocean air, Scicilian lemon, bergamot and verbena. I also love the woodsy quality in the base, like a sturdy scaffolding for the brighter citruses to swing around on. You get a decent scent bubble for the first few hours two, while the Creed original is notoriously light in terms of projection. These opening minutes are a little more metallic in the Armaf than with Creed, but only for 3-4 minutes. Sean John has often appeared at the award ceremony for the CFDA Fashion Awards held annually in New York.

It doesn’t last quite as long as our top pick, clocking in around 4 – 5 hours of meaningful projection. Thankfully it only lasts 30 minutes whereas the original version lasted literally all day and into the night. As such, it clings a little closer to the skin, but you only have to use a very small amount to achieve the same power.Sean Combs created this cologne (or ripped it off from Creed actually) in 2005 with three versions available. My top pick is Club De Nuit Milestone by Armaf, which to my nose is a 90% similar scent that lasts almost twice as long as the Creed original. The powdery base of cedar and sandalwood is more neutral than the vetiver in Milestone, for example. Combs' FIFI Award-winning perfume, Unforgivable, was joined by Sean John fragrance I AM KING in November 2008. Despite lacking that sharpness, it still smells classy and confident – it just cares more about the airy, powdery dry down than most other colognes on this list.
