Sean John Unforgivable Eau de Toilette for Men 75 ml

Product Information

Once you’ve tried Creed Millesime, there’s a good chance you’ll fall in love and be able to justify splashing out on a full-sized bottle. At least, that’s what happened to me.

If you want a fragrance that resembles a Creed or if you want to know if the Creed perfume fits to you, take this fragrance. Combs' FIFI Award-winning perfume, Unforgivable, was joined by Sean John fragrance I AM KING in November 2008. [7] Citron Del Mar Alexandria Fragrances– Closest Original Batch Alternative for Creed Millesime Imperial Compared to Armaf Milestone and Citron Del Mar, Osaito feels a little more unisex. The powdery base of cedar and sandalwood is more neutral than the vetiver in Milestone, for example.Sure, it has a masculine tilt, but there is greater emphasis placed on floral inflections of marigold, and it feels more exotic than deep. Projection and sillage are very weak on me though, very soft, and after two hours it's a skin scent and after three hours it's completely gone… Milestone opens with the same beautiful, salted watermelon accord that made the vintage batches of Millesime Imperial so special. It’s a refined, smooth, and natural-smelling opening that I can’t get enough of. Osaito M. Micallef, for example, lasts 7 – 8 hours if you don’t need all the fruitiness of the original – and Unforgivable by Sean John matches that longevity with its darker, boozier profile.

If none of these similar scents are jumping out at you, maybe consider getting a sample decant of the real deal instead. The opening is a strong blast of citrus that projects really well. It’s sweet mandarin, lemon and grapefruit, with a green freshness that I find even more appealing than the juicy opening in Millesime Imperial. The most faithful alternative to the current blend. Will pass a blind test - which is amazing for the price This sweet, orange-led scent is perfect for relaxed spring and summer days. The bright opening mirrors the effect in Creed Milliseme Imperial but introduces muted herbal elements of sage, cypress, and cardamom in the heart.As such, it clings a little closer to the skin, but you only have to use a very small amount to achieve the same power.

The bottle has been "modernized". Too bad, the bottle indicated here looks nicer than the one I own. The new one fits well in the hand and still doesn't look bad. Since I'm interested in the fragrance anyway, it's not really important. Whether the fragrance has been reformulated. Probably, as can be read here. I can't confirm that, since I don't know him for so long The sweetness is still there, but it’s toned down, and the overall scent feels more balanced and airy. Milestones’ oceanic and marine-inspired dry down is a little airier than the musky base of Millesime Imperial. The ambroxan and woodsy notes linger on for 6-7 hours – certainly longer than 2-3 I’ve come to expect Millesime Imperial, at least. While Unforgivable is an approachable and versatile scent, the boozy quality in the base makes it best as a night scent, to my nose. On average, fragrance oils last me twice as long compared to regular colognes. When you factor in the fact that they also cost far, far less, the value starts to become pretty clear.Marks, Peter (February 18, 2001). "Fashion Week Becomes Fashion Telethon". New York Times . Retrieved June 3, 2013. In a blind smell test, I think you’d really struggle to tell the difference between Creed Millesime Imperial and the Fragrance Oils’ impression. Sean John is a privately held fashion lifestyle company created by music mogul Sean Combs. The line made its fashion debut with a men's sportswear collection for the spring 1998 season. But unlike the Armaf fragrance, it maintains the Creed muskiness throughout its powdery dry down, balanced against sensual salty notes that evoke the sea breeze.

To me, the opening is all green and bitter. I don't think this resembles MI at all. There's no citrus or sweetness to me. The drydown is worse, makes me nauseous. Covert, James (May 5, 2010). "Macy's and Sean John ink exclusive distribution deal". New York Post. And if Creed doesn’t either upgrade Millesime Imperial or lower the price soon, I’m convinced everybody will turn to Armaf Milestone, sooner or later. This does remind me of Millesime Imperial, but the quality is not nearly as good and longevity is unfortunately very fleeting. Citron Del Mar Alexandria Fragrances – Closest Original Batch Alternative to Creed Millesime ImperialHowever, if you’re interested in branching out into fragrances that are a twist on Imperial Millesime rather than a like-for-like scent, you can get even more mileage. Fragrance EDIT: Ended up getting a decant of Millesime Imperial and now that I can compare them right up close it's no contest. MI is so much smoother and more natural smelling. Both have bad longevity, but now that I've smelled MI I no longer have any desire to wear Unforgivable. Switching from positive to neutral.
