I Am King

Wow!! I love this stuff! This will definitely be one of my signature summer scents this year. This is one of the best fruity fragrances I've ever tried. The tangerine and cranberry together create an intoxicating tart & persistent fruity experience. I also love the fact that it stays pretty linear & holds those same intense fruity top notes all the way through the life of the scent. (I tend to love topnotes & scents that don't change too much in the dry down). The biggest complaint I've seen with I Am King is longevity. It's definitely not a super long-lasting scent, but I would say it's about average for a summer fragrance. (also, I have very dry skin & nothing lasts long on me, so I always spray my scents on my clothes. If you do that, then longevity is much better & you can hold those topnotes longer). Anyway, I definitely recommend I Am King for anyone looking for a unique, super fruity summer scent. It's one of my favorites (right up there with ADG, Cool Water, & Live Jazz), and even though it's pricey; this one is worth it to me. I can see why this won an award the year it was released. Good job Diddy!

Great berry opening with citruses with a very subtle aquatic note with very light woods in the background. Great refreshing warm weather scent. Longevity and sillage are not great. This would be good for intimate situations. I wear this in the hot Miami weather just to run quick errands or out to grab some lunch. Much better day and warm weather fragrance. Only last maybe 3-4 hours with decent projection for about an hour. I got this on clearance at Burlington for $13 a bottle and picked up a backup bottle at the same price. At this price or even around $20, this is a great pickup. This is by no means a must have or a banger, but its good for what i use it for. I find myself constantly sniffing this when i'm wearing it even though i'm not at all a celebrity fragrance person. Don't really have anything in my big collection that smells like this. I like it a lot which surprises me. Go trigger happy if you want it to last.

Ryanmmas26's review is spot on for this fragrance. And near word for word what I'd write. One of my all time favorites, absolutely unique and mouthwatering fragrance. Both quite sweet and a little tart from the cranberry. AMAZING smell that has acceptable longevity,(and actually pretty good longevity for a citrus dominate scent if sprayed on clothes)and pretty poor projection after the first hour or two max. Still, for the price this can be had for now and the amount of compliments it receives....it's a no brainer IMHO.(just spray more often!lol) Treat yourself and pick up a bottle of this lovely fragrance before it disappears forever!:) P.S.-I also owned E.C. Carte Blanche and it does indeed smell very close to I Am King. But even though it is supposed to be EDP strength, I didn't notice any significant improvement in longevity or projection. Plus the Sean John is a little richer smelling, so I say stick with it.

This is an AMAZING scent and ive smelled so many fragrances at this point so its hard to impress me right off the bat but this scent blew me away instantly... This to me is fresh,fruity,aromatic and at the same time its very creamy,delicious,slightly gourmandish and is borderline unisex.(WOMEN LOVE THIS tho) Its also weird that it smells very different from a lot of fragrances but its in no way,shape or form extremely unique. Its a great scent no doubt but performance is where its lacking. It projects great for the first hour but after that its pretty much a skin scent and only has about 2-5 hours longevity.Its really spotty. All in all id rate this a 7 out of 10 ! Id give this scent a 9 if it at least had 4-6hrs or more of longevity but unfortunatly it doesnt which is a shame for such a great scent that gets a lot of compliments. SIDENOTE: This would be a perfect cuddle scent or just for running errands

I originally purchase I Am King fragrance by Sean John on pure accident in 2008. I smelt Sean John Unforgivable on a friend and then I went to Dillards told them I was looking for this great new Sean John scent, the sales lady pulls this out sprays it and I liked it and bought it. I had that same bottle until September 2020 (stolen in home burglary). This was among the strongest fragrances I ever owned. I couldn’t handle spraying more than 2 or 3 sprays because it was cause me to sneeze. I got plenty of compliments anytime I’d wear. The only scent I got more compliments with between 08-12 was Fierce by A&F. I have considered adding this back to my collection I hope it hasn’t been reformulated.
