CreamyWhat does Sean John smell like?
The top is black pepper, bergamot, water mint and mandarin orange, and the citrus and fruity accords keep that first impression bright and lively. In the heart, cardamom, angelica root, nutmeg and violet leaf bring out the spice. The base of coumarin, sandalwood, musk, amber and vanilla softens it into a woody, creamy, sweet oriental feel, with a synthetic edge running through. Gammon 2 - The Black Suit Eau de Performance and Rasasi Junoon Satin for Men have a close profile.
