Unforgivable

This is my updated review of Sean John Unforgivable. Sean John Unforgivable is some really good stuff. Let me start off by saying that I cannot compare it to Creed Millisime Imperial. I have not smelt MI so I cannot truly compare the two at all. That said, I can compare this to Ed Hardy Love & Luck, Exceptional Because You Are for Men, Cuba Wild Heart and New York Yankees. Before I get into the comparisons, let me state how good Unforgivable is in its own right. Unforgivable is citrusy opening scent that projects really good that dies off into a great boozy base. The citrus open is highlighted by the somewhat metallic tangerine and green mandarin with some hints of bergamot. The base however is a strong rum scent with a little bit of cashmere and a slight tonka bean and sandalwood base. The mid is rather unrecognizable to me nose for some reason but that is entirely fine. The scent lasts just about a work-day at about 7/8 hours before dying off. It projects for about an hour/hour and a half, at a pretty good moderate sillage. Let's face it, most male fragrances aren't super-strong in sillage, especially during summer. Unforgivable is very verstatile. It is light enough to be a day scent but the booze makes it a bit more of a night scent to my nose. It can be worn virtually any season too, well at least in Arizona. I find it can be worn for night dates fairly easily and may work for close encounters. I wouldn't say skeleton key since it is not a club banger. Now Unforgivable is far more mature than Love & Luck is and far less soapy than New York Yankees is. It is far better than New York Yankees due to the length and smell, but if you talk Love & Luck, it's harder. If you are looking for a mature night scent, that's Unforgivable. If you are looking at a more youthful scent ready for vacations, that's Love & Luck. I love both Unforgivable and Love & Luck but I think I have to go Unforgivable being a little bit better, especially on more wearings. Unforgivable I have to give a 8.5 out of 10.

The first time I smelled this, I was on a bus. The year was 2012 and it was fall. I was absolutely mesmerized but too damn shy to figure out who was wearing it and ask them what it was. I had never smelled anything more beautiful and sexy! (I'm way more bold now and never stopped kicking myself for letting the opportunity to get my hands on it literally walk out of my presence.) I smelled it again on a guy I went to high school with and asked him, but the bastard lied to my face and told me it was something else. I finally found out what it was from a teacher a few days later. I bought a bottle online but it was fake! I've been going crazy for years trying to find the original 2006 version. I bought a bottle off eBay 2 weeks ago made by the Sean John Fragrances Dist. line (the original house maker, not Jacavi & Parlux- I don't care for that version). The original version smells absolutely heavenly and beautiful but I can't seem to find it anywhere, which is driving me nuts. The formula I received smells good too, although not what I wanted- it's missing that cool Bubu (insider) sexiness that drove me crazy for it in the first place, which makes me question if it's the original. But it's long-lasting, fresh, and sexy. Definitely one of my favorites!

This stuff is incredible. Point blank. Compliments galore!! Citrusy-fruity heaven. This scent is one of the most versatile scents I own. It's perfect for the gym. It's perfect for the office. It's perfect for lounging around the house, going out with friends, clubbing, anything really. It's got this citrus-fruity scent that reminds me a lot of that smell you get when you get a whiff of wet hair that was JUST washed with a really good scented shampoo. I think of that everything I wear it. It's amazing. Quality with price considered? Unbeatable! One my male fragrances in my collection (which is a ton) this is no exaggeration, in my top 5. You can get a 125ml/4.2oz bottle on ebay for $28. This would get a perfect 10/10 score from me if performance were slightly better. It isn't terrible...somewhere in the medium range so due to that...I give this one a 9.5/10 Longevity - About 5-6 hours depending on how heavy handed you are with it. Projection - Very good for the first 2 hours...then it starts to come closer to skin. Definite 9.5/10 for this one! HIGHLYYYY RECOMMEND!! Women absolutely love it. Everyone that smells this one me loves it actually. Two thumbs up P Diddy!

Before I got acquainted to the wide world fragrances, this was my signature scent. Within the first week it was released in 2006 I received a sample and and fell in love with it. The following Christmas I was gifted a 100 ml bottle and for 15 plus years it was basically the only fragrance I thought I needed. It has niche like qualities. Easy to wear.. most people love it.. especially women. Has that fresh, clean citrus aroma making it a perfect summer time fragrance, while the iris, tonka and rum make it perfect for a sexy date night. Leaves a nice scent bubble and strong enough projection to cut through the cold winter air. About average longevity. (4 to 6 hours) Even though now I've grown to appreciate and own many other fragrances, there is and always will be a bottle of "Sean John Unforgivable" in my collection.

Has always been my wife's favorite fragrance on me and has been my signature scent since out of high school. That was before I got into fragrances recently. I've come to really not care for it anymore and I'm starting to wonder if the only reason my wife likes it so much is just because it strikes the nostalgia of when she first fell in love with me lol. Performance is abysmal on both new and OG batches. If you want this smell do yourself a solid and get Armaf Milestone instead. Very very similar but higher quality with much better performance all around. Even give Love & Luck a try. Similar but different scent that is better imo. Though performance is also on the weaker side. Time to retire Unforgivable. The rest of my bottles will now just be used for the gym most likely.
