Celebrities love creating their own fragrance lines. Many do a piss-poor job at it. Puff Daddy and his Sean John line of scents for men, did a pretty good job at it. Now, I wouldn’t rate any of these colognes as having blown me away but there are definitely some that are quite nice, and can be had for a fair price. In this post, I’d like to put forth the five best scents from Sean John, that are actually worth a try.


What are the Top Sean Jean Fragrances?

Crisp Citrus and Spice

Sean John 3 AM Eau de Toilette Spray for Men, 3.4 Ounce– Fresh citrus notes meet gin and tonic for an appealing late night encounter.

It’s got a light spicy feeling, that has a cool aroma, and not a heavy overhanded spiciness. It’s like Very Cool by Tommy Bahama with a citrus/tonic blend sitting on top.

It’s a nice scent, but I don’t really dig the lack of longevity on this one, which can be a problem when you get into the less expensive designer fragrances. Still in the top 5 for the opening alone.


Best Overall Sean John

Unforgivable By Sean John For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 4.2 Oz.– Again Sean John decides to hit you with the citrus notes and the booze (is it any wonder Puff went into Ciroc vodka?) but this is probably the best the line has to offer.

Unforgiveable is blend of the citrus notes, but the orange note really comes through the most. A pinch of saltiness and the rest combines to create a bit of a melon-like smell.

Very clean scent that is actually quite attractive to the opposite sex and has a nice support of rum, tonka bean, and sandalwood notes. It’s also one of the most popular colognes from this lineup.


Fruity Semi-Aquatic

I Am King by Sean John for Men – 3.4 Ounce EDT Spray– Cranberry/Orange aquatic mix that is a light daytime type of wear but good for the warmer months. The fruit notes are almost candy-like but I must admit that I kind of like it. Longevity isn’t so great, though.

The opening has some tartness for the cranberry note, but that fades and the fruit notes feel a bit sweet and bright.

Then, there is an underlying aquatic note. It’s a light and watery sort of aroma but has a enjoyable cleanliness.


Boozy Unforgivable

Unforgivable Black by Sean John For Men. Eau De Toilette Spray 2.5-Ounces– Has a lot of similarities with the original but this one really hits with the rum note, so, if you like boozy scents you’d be well-served getting this one ahead of Unforgivable.

Also, Black has good longevity, which makes it a nice deal for the price. It’s not too different from the original, but that rum note and some citrus is pumped up higher. It’s more difficult to find nowadays, though, if you can get a cheap bottle it’s worth a try.


Fizzy Citrus and Amber Woods

Sean John Unforgivable Night by Sean John for Men Eau De Toilette Spray, 4.2-Ounce– Citrus, amber, boozy notes, and wood make Night a very interesting fragrance. It is an energetic nightlife composition with the right hint of sexiness to attract the ladies.

There is a fizziness to this cologne with notes of juniper berry and champagne. The citrus is the star and there isn’t a strong rum note like the fragrance listed above.

The performance isn’t as good as the other two Unforgivable fragrances, so this would be my third choice. Nonetheless, I do enjoy the citrus here.
