Eau de Toilette

Sean John Unforgivable Eau de Toilette is a fresh, citrusy fragrance for men, with an aquatic, fruity side balanced by a woody base, easy to wear through the day. It opens bright and breezy with green mandarin orange, grapefruit, bergamot and champagne. The heart brings Florentine iris, lavender and sea breeze, and the base of Australian sandalwood, tonka bean and amber turns it sweeter and softer. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. It reads mostly masculine, with many also calling it modern. Van Cleef & Arpels In New York and Adidas Ice Dive have a close profile.
