This week’s fragrance is a trip down memory lane, to around 2006, when I got Unforgivable by Sean John. It’s a nice fragrance, but I have to admit, it’s never been a firm favourite with me. This could partly be because at the time I had so many other scents which I loved, such as Armani Mania, Gucci Envy and Armani Code, which I got around the same time. This is of course a celebrity scent, Sean John is the label created by hip hop mogul P. Diddy aka Sean Combs.
It’s quite an aromatic style of smell, with a slight fruity and woody notes almost creating some kind of fiery spice smell. It’s a warm and dark style of scent, so I would recommend it strictly for night wear, probably best in a casual setting. It’s pleasant, but not the most inviting, it’s quite neutral in that it does not hit any of the notes strongly enough to have a specific style; For example it’s slightly woody, but not woody enough, it’s aromatic, but there’s more aromatic scents out there.
