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.

3 AM smells NOTHING like Solar Lavender by Issey Miyake! Who's voting on here? Ppl buy fragrances and they wonder why the fragrances smell nothing like the "This perfume reminds me of" section, which is why I recommend sampling over committing to a full bottle or decanting larger amounts. Man, people just press buttons and add anything to that section, which is why YOU CANNOT base decisions off of it, and be skeptical of reviews that pull from that section of Fragrantica. Just a heads up, you guys! If you have both fragrances, and you think they smell the same, I seriously question your nose or opinion of fragrances because they smell NOTHING alike! I've had Solar Lavender and I still have 3 AM, but I don't use it as often due to its discontinuation. 3 AM is an aromatic fragrance with bergamot, orange blossom and fig leaf profiles. Where is lavender in any of that? On the other hand, Solar Lavender is an inoffensive, fairly light lavender, cedarwood, nutmeg aromatic fragrance. Do any of those notes smell the same? No! Therefore, they are not the same or remotely close in scent.

I believe it is a good one for Summer. Best notes are Fig leaf & Tonic water . But cardamom and leather are hardly detectable on drydown . When wear it, You can imagine yourself in North Spain, summer, beside the sea or a pool, with your glass of Gin Tonic. Bottle is very cool, Atomizer is unic, spray like a cloud of mist. Some Said it is synthetic, yes I feel it, but not too much. Smell of Tonic water ( in your mind resemble Gin Tonic), bergamot smells like limon twist, and bottle resemble ice cubes, cover this. About longevity and sillage : we had a party in our home last night. I sprayed it on arms, hands, neck and my shirt, Seven sprays totally. One from very close to skin . Morning I waked up, my arm still smelling. Sillage is about 60 to 90 minutes , but longevity was acceptable on my arm after 10 hours . I don't wana say it has a great longevity, but compare to summer fragrances, yes it is good.

The hype is real with this one!!!! The atomizer is one of the best in the frag world, and it smells very phenomenal!!! I wasn't sold on this or any other Sean john scent , since I purchased the bismal I am king. I refused, even though I heard the chatter and all I totally refused. I came to a crossroad where I wanted a new fragrance but didn't find anything appealing at the time. So I search the sites and I keep seeing this fellow pop up. It costs mere pennies so I pulled the trigger on this fragrance. I watched reviews and was like they have to be getting paid. It comes, I try it and all of a sudden we'll damn!!!! I cheated myself all this time! The smell is light and airy so I put it on your clothes and it has staying power. It's a cheapie, your nit going to lose sleep , skin or money over this one. What you will get is a new easy reach! As always! Try it for yourself, everyone has different DNA!!!

What a hidden gem i've stumbled upon in 2020. Another drugstore cheapie except this has all the sillage and performance you could ask for. It has to be one of the best sprayers of all time as well. I put on 3 sprays this morning as a test, biked 4km to work and was sweating on arrival - as I clean up, I sit down at my desk and get hit with a compliment. Un-real. I sprayed some on a test strip last night in my apartment, it clouded instantly and upon waking up in the morning I could still smell that strip within 4 feet of it. Its very floral in the opening - Fresh. SUPER fresh. Now this isn't a very intricate cologne, but its an all around good smell..I can't think of anything quite like it, but I would not call it unique. You've probably smelled something similar before. 10/10 for a drugstore cheapie. For its price it is flawless. Very impressed with the performance and sillage.

Wow! What a beautiful surprise. This one opens up with a very bright and invigorating tonic and light citrus. As the fragrance dries down the leather note becomes more dominant and the overall scent more masculine imo. It is a fresh, slightly green scent- a unique addition to any one tired of the same old freshies. This one definitely has an elegance and maturity to it. Performance is decent and is one of the absolute best fragrances for the money ($17 for 100ml)! The legends about the atomizer are absolutely true - which upsets me in a way bc if a super cheap fragrance like this can have a world class atomizer, why don’t all fragrances use this??? If you are wondering what fragrance you can compare this too, I would say it actually smells a bit like “78 Vintage Green” by banana republic. Both are green freshies that use fig leaf (3am is more citrus, less green than 78).

I received this bottle today and was quite surprised with the quality of this fragrance, I blind bought this and it’s a really nice fragrance and paid only 15€ for a 100ml – not only this is a good bang for your buck, it smells also quite original, I haven’t anything in my collection (which is unfortunately a too large collection ), what smells similar to this – the tonic note is very prominent with some citrus probably the bergamot and mandarin orange and I also get the geranium a little bit in the background when I smell my arm ... I still have to wait how it will perform on my skin, most freshies don’t perform that well on my skin hopefully this will do better ... I recommend this to anyone who wants something different. A safe blind buy for sure ... I think I am going to drink a gin tonic tonight ...

I've learned never to go by the comments on this site before purchasing a fragrance. I do however look for the notes. With that said, kudos Sean Combs for this fragrance, you didnt let me down! It smells good to me. This is a good summer fragrance for me. At $55 dollars plus tax why not. I've smelled fragrances that cost way more that didn't deserve to be bottled. The longevity isn't all that great. About six hours for me. But hey, if your wearing this at 3 AM for a rendezvous,6 hours is plenty of time to prove your point and shoot your shot. UPDATE: In order to get the max longevity you'll have to give it about 5 to 6 pumps, but that's nothing with the way the sprayer mist into a small cloud. I worked 12 hours and could smell it through out the day and still had a hint on my t-shirt that evening.

I grabbed this one at the rack stores 2 different times. The first time I sprayed it the first time and was immediately turned off because it reminded me of raid bug spray or off. I think it was because I smelled it up close. I ended up selling my 30 ml and called it a day. About 6 month later, I saw a deal for the 100 ml, so I thought I would give it another try (bottle is nice and atomizers are awesome). This time around I had a better experience. I see you have to let this one do it's thing over time. Yes, it can be a little harsh in the opening but it settles down really nice after about a minute or two. Overall, it's a pretty nice casual scent by Sean John. It's a slightly unique freshie. Here are my ratings. Scent: 7/10 Value: 8/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 6/10 Versatility: 7/10

This is one I wanted to get my hands on ever since I heard about it on all the YouTube channels. I could say that's because of the smell, but in reality, I just wanted to spray that atomizer. I don't think you'll find a cheaper fragrance with a better atomizer. Heck, most fragrances 3-4x what this cost don't have one as good as this. Besides that, this is a pretty unique fragrance for its price point. The opening does come off somewhat bitter, almost as if you're getting the pith of the fruit in the notes, rather than the essence of the rind. There is a dominant leathery/citrus smell as it dries down, but it's light and zingy rather than heavy and cloying. I love wearing this in the summer on a 90+ degree day, I just wish it lasted longer. 8/10

What a nice surprise ! Listen to some YouTuber's reviews/thoughts on this one.....and I took the plunge. This scent is just a great everyday type and may I even say "unique"...IMO. I got different vibes during my wearing of this and that was very interesting. I got little tidbits of other fragrances that I have smelled/and owned. Ok...the scent at first spritz seems like it will be a long-lasting scent....however....the opening smell lessens quite rapidly on my skin.....and fortunately, I still enjoy what's left in the drydown. Great prices on this...under $20 for the 100ml. I am enjoying this hidden gem. Fresh...yet woody...yet a tad boozy....herbal-ish/green.....light figgy vibe touched with light orange blossom. Cardamom for balance.

Damn, just got myself this masterpiece, a blind buy and i'm speechless. The scent is sooooo good, I started to scream of happyness. It's so fresh but not really your common freshie DNA scent. It's hard to put it by words but i've never smelled anything like this one. My first thought was like, fresh coconut with the finest leather you can find on the market combined with the fig and a touch off tonic. So pure even Hades himself would get calmed by it. Big up! 100 ml for around $15 is a steal imo. As mentioned, the atomizer is the best i've ever tried. Really can't answer bout longetivity but I would guess around 5-6 hours perhaps. Really depends on how much and where you spray it. Might be my new signature scent!

I blind bought this fragrance with low expectations, but I found a gem! 3 AM is a great spring/summer scent. It is ultra-versatile and unique. 3 AM opens as a fresh spicy/citrus and dries down to a soapy/leather. The fig note is very prominent in the opening, which may take getting used to. This fragrance has gathered me many compliments. It only lasts about 5 hours on my skin, but leaves a great sillage for the first hour. You can get 100ml of this fragrance for about $20. This is a great cheapy! Opening: 8.5/10 Dry down: 8/10 Uniqueness: 7.5/10 Versatility: 8/10 Presentation: 7/10 Sillage: 8.5/10 Longevity: 6/10 Overall rating: 8/10

All I can say is that women love this scent on me and I love the way it smells too. I always receive compliments when a woman smells it on me. It doesn’t project as much unless you overspray. I usually do like 8-10 sprays which gives me nice projection and sillage for about 4-6 hours. It has a Dior quality pressurized atomizer too which makes it feel luxurious to spray on. It’s a perfect dumb reach for any occasion, but I particularly like it for warm spring days. I got my 100ml bottle for $30, but the price has gone up since it has been discontinued. I’d say if you can snag it for under $80 it is definitely worth a blind buy.

I bought this after the review from Big Beard B , first i doubted but he convinced me and Sean John got some other fragrances i really like so i had to check this out. First impression ? smells really great , Nice fresh opening with some good smelling notes. Tonic,leather,fig leaf,citrus,orange, really interessting formula, what a suprise this is , i can't stop smelling it!! longevity moderate, sprayed it on ( 5 or 6 sprits) 8 hours ago and i can still smell on my wrists, first day went clubbing and tons of female compliments One Also nice looking bottle and BEST sprayer i ever experienced... Overall 8+, almost a 9

I bought this today. 3 AM has a light, bright and fresh opening followed shortly by a descreete and dusty fig leaf very nicely mixed with tonic water accords and fresh leather. The smell is unique and very descreete, light, not at all in your face. Projection and sillage are moderate, longevity was 5 - 7 hours on my skin, close to it. Overall a very nice and interesting olfactory construction, does not resemble any frag I have in my collection ( over 100 bottles currently) and none of the frags I have encountered so far. Nice compliments from females coming closer.. An 8,5 out of 10 well deserved, I sense.

Just wow!!! This is the BEST blind buy cheapie that I have bought. It is the perfect combination of fresh and aromatic. I do not understand how this is so cheap, you can get a 1 oz bottle for $9.99 and 3.4oz bottle for $19.99. It is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed unless you hate fresh fragrances. Wear this whenever you want, you will love it no matter if it's below zero or 100°+, my only complaint is that I didn't purchase this scent sooner. If you want this to last longer, just apply a few more sprays. For the value, versatility, and awesome scent this is hands down a 9 / 10.

Buy it. Review over. No, but seriously, believe the hype. I bought this before the weather warmed up and liked how it smelt when I tested it out. But it wasn't until I gave it a full wearing in the heat that I truly understand how great this fragrance is. The scent trail on this smells phenomenal. It's unlike anything I've smelt so far. It's clean and fresh without just being a boring clean and fresh scent. And the longevity on this is ridiculous. Other summer scents just don't perform like this. Don't let the affordability fool you. This is worth a lot more than you're gonna spend. Buy it.

This thing........ at first I thought why have they given the name 3 am for a freshie, didn't really add up. But as I wore it, I realized it's not the 3 am where you haven't slept till 3 am. It's more like the 3 am of a summer, where you wake up in the middle of the night, after you've had an amazing evening followed by an "eventful" night. The room is cool but you are feeling hot, there's some mild hints of your fragrance amalgamated with the fragrance of your partner. You step out to the balcony, to breath in some fresh air and are hit by a cool 3 AM breeze. Just so satisfying <3

It twists my melon why this scent smells so realistically gin tonic. It's a sexy creamy citrus scent that works best by night in any season. I have about 20 citrus scents, none has this night time sexual appeal to them. The bottle is outstanding and the applicator deserves a special mention, as it atomizes the scent on release instead of on push! I paid around 15€ for the 100ml and it's just INSANE value for money. It doesn't last as long as you wish it did, but neither you do :) This is on my top 5 in my collection and the best citrus scent followed by Van Gils Basic Instinct.

This stuff is honestly just insanely good! Somehow it manages to capture the actual scent of fizzy bubbles jumping from the top of a fresh vodka-tonic! Hard to describe such a scent. Only other fragrance that comes close is Micallef gntonic, which is fantastic as well, but I think I prefer 3am to gntonic by just a smidge. I should have bought multiple bottles of this a long time ago when it was really cheap! It's a summer staple that sets itself apart from the typical blue/marine/fruity/Citrus scents.

Yes, this stuff is subtle and light, but it is sooooo good! And the atomizer? I thought the Diors were pretty nice but this one is just awesome! I love how it sprays, and the heavier the better. As for the fragrance, this actually reminds me of how the night air in Southern California during the Springtime can smell in the very early morning, so 3 AM is the perfect name for this. The fig and citrus compliment each other very well here. Worth having in any collection, especially for the price.

I bought this fragrance because people state that it smells like Tommy Bahama's "Very Cool,"--the version with the wooden top from back in the day. Upon first stiff, I was brought back to childhood. I've always loved "Very Cool," but the new reformulation is a miss. Thank goodness for "3 AM". It reminds you of Tommy Bahama's fragrance. This is one of the few things that Puff's name is stamped on that I endorse. It's clean, fresh, light, and it reminds you of a crisp sunny day. I love it.

I got Tommy Bahama's Very Cool and really enjoy the scent. However the longevity is awful and its gone after 2 hours (I'm talking about the plastic cap not wooden). I saw on Fragrantica that SJ 3AM is very close to that scent and saw the pyramid that seemed pretty close. I bought it and I got to say it smells better than TB and it's in the same ballpark. The longevity is superior as well. Great buy for spring and summer.

The hype is real with this one. Awesome presentation, awesome scent & lastly, the atomizer on this bottle would put to shame well known expensive niche and designer fragrances. This one vaguely reminds me of Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Fico di Amalfi, but only because of the fig note. Don't sleep on this one guys, this a safe blind buy, unless one does not like fresh/green fragrances.

Underrated cheapie gem. Definitely not a projection beast, but great for intimate settings or a daily casual scent. Starts with a unique bottle design and a Dior quality atomizer, then out comes a bright citrus freshie with a slight fruity zing, then dries down to a masculine woody leather with a subdued fruity freshness lingering in the background. A steal for the price.

I love this it is a nice spicy clean scent, the bottle is heavy and the atomizer sets the standard for the industry. This will be the best atomizer you’ll every get on a $20 Cologne. You could wear this anytime anywhere but probably will perform best in a controlled environment to warmer environment. Spray away this will make everyone around you happy including you!

one of the most luxurious fragrances ive ever smelled its masculine mature elegant and truly unique perfect for spring and summer for men over 25 it has a distinctive scent profile that does not smell like any other fragrance on the market performance is good if you can find it take him trust me you will stand out from the crowd

This really does smell like tonic water. It's refreshing in a unique way. I didn't like at first sniff but it tremendously grew on me with time. It smells totally unisex to me. It's not winning any awards in the performance category but it just gives me that pick me up I need every time I wear it.

First of all, snatched this for 14 euros on Notino (100ml!) so great deal to start with. Second of all, wow, i LOVE the way this smells. Ofcourse it will not last a crazy amount of time, but this is a refreshing, yet slightly sweet (fig) scent. Very uplifting, love it!

The one I got from Burlington years ago at $9.99 lasts a decent 5 hours on me in a hot and humid climate. Maybe the newer formulation has terrible performance. Sad, it's a damn good freshy but not like the others. You'll smell ultra clean with this.

Tonic, Mandarin Orange, Leather and Fig leaf. Good idea. I don't get any other notes so far. Very good for the price. Average longevity and projection. Semi sweet and little bit green quality. Good for someone who is new to fig note.

Rich and unique aromatic scent. Has the best sprayer of any sprayers I have ever tested. The bottle is heavy and beautiful. Sometimes it gives a vinegary vibe, which may put some people off. The fresh fig is prominent.

My personal favorite cheapie and dumb reach for years. Used to see it at discounters all the time but I still had a bottle so I didn't look twice. I regret not getting a backup bottle of this now.

FANTASTIC fragrance. Perfect mix of of fresh citrus and fig. Underrated frag. Only thing that lets it down in longevity and project but it's pennies a bottles so you can drown yourself in it.

Got it for $4 at a flea market, best purchase ever. It smells so fresh, so inoffensive, and light. Kind of reminds me of Terre De Hermes Eau Givree but less sharp and cleaner.

I put this in the same realm of YSL ultime, because of the fuzzy natural it has with the fruitiness and spice. Definitely a unique and great smelling cheapie.

This is one of the best cheapies one can get. Original, easy to wear, no drama, delivers all the time and again, with a good twist of originality

A great perfume doesn't always need to cost an arm and a leg. This is a perfect example. A gem. A blind buy i don't regret. Thank you Ilias!

3am is one of my favorite cheapies. A fresh floral with an awesome drydown and decent longevity. Love. 😁

Why its price suddenly went up for like 100%? It was like few weeks gap. Is it discountinued ?

Why don't all fragrances come with this atomizer?!? This sucker is top notch for dirt cheap!

Citrus + soap. No leather in this one. I put a bottle in my car glove box.

To me, this smells like the lobby of the Yacht club in Disney.

I like it for the summer. Cheap, too.

Sean John 3 AM does not land where Diddy wants it to land. I don’t see where it is really that sexy and represents what a woman would want to do you at 3:00 AM in the morning. I just don’t see it. What I do get is a weird crossbreed of two different scents. Pitbull Man, especially on its open and then a less boozy Carolina Herrera 212 VIP Men like say Trump Empire as it dries down. This is so much of a letdown knowing the amazing nose behind Jay-Z Gold in Illias Ermenidis made this kind of generic letdown. The open for 3 AM is pretty much the generic Pitbull Man mandarin orange, bergamot and cardamon open that Adidas Deep Energy also has (see my Pitbull Man review.) That said as the scent turns from citrus into a more virgin Gin & Tonic, it goes into a weaker 212 VIP Men, 212 VIP I do like better than Pitbull so I must say this is where this scent shines. 3 AM isn’t as spicy but rather floral as compared to 212 VIP Men in its (3 AM) mid, more like Trump Empire. As the scent hits its base, 3 AM fully becomes 212 VIP with its gin mid and leather base through the tonic and leather notes. 3 AM is not very strong sillage wise. I would rate it soft honestly. Maybe at best moderate. It isn’t as strong as I would say other scents like especially 212 VIP is (which I list as “heavy”) which normally isn’t a problem, but this is one you basically need to stick to your nose. So perhaps this is good for close encounters rather than a bar. 3 AM lasts about four hours on my skin and that is being a bit generous. This is because the citrus and cardamon open lasts about 45 minutes before turning into the 212 VIP/Empire like mid and base. Once it kicks into this base, I honestly like the scent while it lasts for the next three hours. I feel 3 AM is an Axe bodyspray rather an eau de toilette. 3 AM to me is that scent you use to freshen up with while your significant other is in the bathroom before you engage in a close encounter. Its length of scent and sillage seems to play into this whether it is by chance or design, I’m not sure. I find 3 AM is good for spring to fall use, especially in night-time. That said, it is light enough and not boozy enough to work as a day scent. It don't smell like you got splashed with a Gin & Tonic, maybe just a virgin one at worst. Before anyone asks, I don’t hate celebrity fragrances. On the contrary, I actually love them. Most have great smells at low prices. Out of my top five scents, three of which are celebrity scents. Those being the aforementioned Jay-Z Gold, Antonio Banderas King of Seduction and Rihanna Rogue Man. Michael Jordan, Usher and even Puffy released some other celebrity gems too. That said, I think the only scents I’ve smelt that last less than this scent is Playboy Hollywood and Playboy Play It Wild. Both are virtually Axes in edt bottles with the Playboy logo, but I digress... 3 AM is a scent that barely gets a like. For my rating, anything below a 6, gets a dislike. 3 AM I have to give a 6. As I said, there are a good number of negatives, none of which are related to Puffy himself but I think the goods like its dry-down scent and how it is perfectly designed for close encounters along with the clear 212 VIP Men bottle meets a Dior Homme bottle, slightly outweight the negatives.
