3 AM

This is an awesome blind buy that I am happy that I bought into the hype of ! For once hype is real fellas. To get it out if the way, yeah it's not the longest lasting fragrance or heaviest projecting. Very similar to CK kinda of projection and longevity. Decent but not great. 4 hours maybe tops. But you can go heavy on the trigger because yeah, the atomizer IS as good as people say it is. It's unique and of it's own. Dior have theirs, Guerlain L'Homme ideal line has amazing ones, and 3AM also has a very very very good atomizer. One of my favorites. I paid $20 for a 100ml and I feel like that $20 was spent just for the privilege of being able to use this awesome atomizer. The $20 alone is worth the joy of spraying this one. Look at me, I'm one of those guys who talks about atomizers in the review. Wow. But no really. It's awesome. The scent is very good as well and unfortunately fleeting. The tonic water, fig leaf, and citrus all blend together in a really really unique way. It does smell like "cologne" but it is but typical. It is unique and different. Fresh and clean but with something more. The leather in there is light but gives some presence... far from animalic. This is unique and for the price you can't go wrong. You can drench yourself with the atomizer and go heavy and it won't offend anyone. Spraying on clothes helps. Short lived or not, this is a no brainer if you see it at the rack stores. Buy it. I never encourage blind buys but this is a nice unique scent that would be a great addition to anyone's collection, frag enthusiast or not. It's just good. Real good. Makes a very nice scent bubble and you catch whiffs of yourself and realize that you smell really good. I agree with everyone saying I can't compare this to anything I've smelled really. It's familiar but not. I can see the similarities that someone brought up with A87 , but I haven't smelled that in 15 years.

This fragrance is citrusy, bright, fresh, crisp and spicy. Kind of has a vibe of pickle juice when you sniff the atomizer, but don't get discouraged, just give it a try, it literally takes just seconds to change. It opens up with sparkling tonic water and a very realistic mandarin orange note (it's like peeling a mandarin, awesome), hinted with some fig leaf and cardamom. The leather and the geranium are either really light or non-existent and the 'sensual skin accord' is just a marketing gimmick, as you would expect. Very linear, it doesn't really change over time, it just starts getting weaker until it's gone completely. Super versatile, really easy to pull off, you can get away with this almost anywhere: in the office/school, on a date, gatherings etc. You can wear this year-round, except Winter, but that's not a problem in a temperature controlled environment. It leans more casual and has a laid back feel, but you can dress it up if you feel like it. Pretty unique as well, doesn't really smell like anything I've tried so far. The performance is about average, some may say it's lacking. I get 7 hours of longevity at best, it barely hangs in there in the last hour or so. (definitely shorter lived even than that in the Summer) Projection and sillage are decent in the first 2 hours, the people around you can easily pick it up in that period. Carry a decant with you, because reapplying is recommended with this one. Overall, this is a really good buy, you can find it between $15-20, it's well worth the price.

3am by Sean John review This one starts off amazing the tonic water and fig leaf really gives this one a very effervescent and unique opening. The smell is quite linear but through the mid you are able to get a little bit of the cardamom and green notes which I assume are mostly the geranium and orange blossom. As far as performance goes this one is a bit strange. When I first got my bottle it felt like it only lasted a few hours around 2-3hrs but lately this thing is pushing well past the 6 hour mark, although by that point it’s already a skin scent which works great as a date scent or a gathering with friends where you’re going to be close to other people. I also have an older bottle that seems to have macerated a bit that one is around 2 years old an is now much more oily and smells more leathery which isn’t a bad thing. This is one that I usually decant in some of the little sample bottles you get at department stores and respray around 4 hours in to get that amazing opening again. All in all a very unique cheap fragrance, if you can find this at a good price (under $50) I think it’s a very blind buy worthy. This is one I also like to layer with different fragrances to give them some pop. A 9/10 for me, if Sean John ever decided to release an edp or Parfum for this I think it would be a 10/10. One of my favorites for sure!

I blind bought this one and I would say this is a very nice fragrance in its own right. You really have to dig this fragrance carefully for you to be able to appreciate it. As it evolves from opening to the dry down, I noticed there are interesting changes especially if I put my nose closer. There are minute nuances that plays with my nose. But when I keep it a little farther from my nose, its linear. First time I've seen a combination of notes such as Tonic water, Fig, and Leather, etc., I would say its such a sexy blend and true to its name, this is gonna be my scent at 3am. Lol :) Yes, its a cheapie but that's the fun part of this hobby. Once you find a fragrance that your nose falls in love with at a bargain price, you can't be any happier than that. There are couple of YT frag reviewers who featured this fragrance that made me curious. The reviewers are my faves and at less than $20 at the discounters, why not? I thought I could give it away without any heartburn if I don't like it and I am sure there are takers. But nope, I'm gonna keep this gem. True enough, one of my best blind buys. A true gem. “Let us spread the scents of peace and kindness. The two most beautiful fragrance in the world that will cost you nothing and will get you a totally different kind of compliments” 🙏

NOT ONLY BEAUTIFULLY MASCULINE...BUT UNIQUE!!! GENIUS and amazingly well-done mix of 3 main things here. I'll make it real simple for you guys. It's that gin-like tonic water note, citrus notes, and a very noticeable leather/suede note beautifully mixed together. I cannot get over how awesome this stuff is. To anyone coming to this page and being turned off by the ratio of dislikes versus likes above...do not read too much into that. This fragrance is AMAZING!! I have certainly never smelled a fragrance that smells like this to make it even more interesting. It's so unique. Sean John did an amazing job with this one and I'm sure this is getting a lot of hate simply based on his name alone. Make the deal even sweeter?? I bought the biggest bottle available (100ml or 3.4 oz) for like $25 on Ebay, brand new, sealed, in box. And...I got 2 compliments from strangers on my 1st day wearing this. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO THROW HATE AT CELEB FRAGRANCES BECUASE THEY'RE SNOBS AND/OR DON'T LIKE THE NAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRAGRANCE. I beg of you all. You'll be throwing away the opportunity to have some real treasures in your collection if you do. This is a prime example.
