I Am King Sean John for men

it has a nice fruity medley in its opening which is very fresh and aromatic but it does not evolve very well and has almost no staying power.

It is a typical celeb scent where the juice is designed to make you want to buy it after testing on paper, without putting much fragrance oil in to give it that lasting power it should have

I seem to be very sensitive to newer fragrances, especially aquatic ones, so I was worried that this one might nauseate me. Fortunately, it's not bad at all. Keep in mind that Del Mar Marbella Edition Baldessarini made me start to feel ill, as a point of reference, as did Black XS (had to wash them off quickly). Also, I don't know much of anything about this guy (P. Diddy, Puff, Puffy, Puff Daddy, Sean John, Sean Combs, etc./whatever), so that was not a consideration. However, as inoffensive and somewhat pleasant as this is, it seems to be an indicator that I don't like strong fruit notes in fragrances, at least certain fruit notes. I recently acquired a little Zara Gold and liked that (strong pineapple note), but I still need to wear it again to know how much, and whether it is rotation worthy. I didn't have any longevity issue but the projection ("sillage") loses quite a bit of intensity over time. What's interesting is that there is a middle phase to this fragrance that seems rather generic, but then comes another phase that is quite nice. Clearly, the fragrance aficionado is not likely to think much of this, but if you want something that can work for many occasions, this is one to consider (price aside, which I haven't researched).

I classify my fragrances in 3 catagories(sp) luxury,sport and general purpose,this is def a luxury fragrances.

check out the miami edition ~ iv tried its so cool greenintense

I think this fragrence is one f the most misunderstood cologne's on the market today. First of all the name is not an ego boost to Mr. Combs (he's got better reasons to do that than a damn fragrance), it's title is meant to inspire the feeling of being a king in the man who wear's it. Like Clinique Happy does for women. Second is that although this fragrance is titled "I am King" almost no one in your kingdom will notice it but you. It is extremely light and stays very close to the skin. Mr. Combs says this fragrence is not meant for every one in the room to smell just the one closest to you. I use it when I know me and my lady are going to be very close. Sharing a blanket at an outdoor event, or a secluded table in a resturant. It smells fantastic a crisp fruity/tangy sent that stays the same from start to finish. It is different fragrence with a different approach so if you are trying to get the attention of the whole room this is not for you.

really good smell will turn around when the smell passing my nose! :)

He has a new King on macys.com. I Am King of Miami. I wanna try it! : )

KING? Are you joking? This one is a typical summer scent for 14-17 year old guys. It is sweet and fruity in the way of Clinique Happy - a splash of sugary oranges and tangerines. A pleasant fragrance, but not for such price (it smells cheap) and nor for such marketing. The longevity is below average.

I Am King is too fruity sweet. Intensely sweet. It's not for me.

Wow!! I love this stuff! This will definitely be one of my signature summer scents this year. This is one of the best fruity fragrances I've ever tried. The tangerine and cranberry together create an intoxicating tart & persistent fruity experience. I also love the fact that it stays pretty linear & holds those same intense fruity top notes all the way through the life of the scent. (I tend to love topnotes & scents that don't change too much in the dry down). The biggest complaint I've seen with I Am King is longevity. It's definitely not a super long-lasting scent, but I would say it's about average for a summer fragrance. (also, I have very dry skin & nothing lasts long on me, so I always spray my scents on my clothes. If you do that, then longevity is much better & you can hold those topnotes longer).

Anyway, I definitely recommend I Am King for anyone looking for a unique, super fruity summer scent. It's one of my favorites (right up there with ADG, Cool Water, & Live Jazz), and even though it's pricey; this one is worth it to me. I can see why this won an award the year it was released. Good job Diddy!

Very weak, too close to the skin.
No projection for me.
Starts fruity, a lil citrusy but not bad, but doesnt really dry down, just fades away.
ANDY the jumping shark was right, it doesn't offer anything really, I think its just connected to Diddy, so most people will want it regardless.

too weak! will soon be forgotten.

I didn't realize colognes and perfumes were made for ethnic groups.In that case,this is also good for (ITALIAN AMERICANS).Actually,i think its for everyone.Don't be afraid to try, its a very nice choice!!!

THIS IS A REAL GOOD "AFRICAN AMERICAN" FRAGRANCE FOR MEN. WOMEN LOVE IT. I GET TONS OF COMPLIMENTS. P. DIDDY KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE MADE THIS!

doesn't last an hour but smells really good

I have come to expect very little from celebrities who try to come out with a fragrance line. 9 times out of 10 they just copy what's already on the market and just try to cash in. Puffy's no different. The fact that he would call this fruity nightmare "I am King" is truly laughable. This doesn't even smells like a man's fragrance at all!. There are great fresh scents available that are masculine and appealing - take Chanel Platinum, for example.
I am King should be called I am Queen, 'cuz that's what it smells like!

I think that this should be marketed as a unisex fragrance. It is very fresh, and suitable for women just as much as men. The opening is a bit fruity, and dries to a clean lemon cedar, without sharpness.
I've heard many women say that if their men doesn't want to wear it, THEY will!

I would totally buy a bottle of this for myself.

Fruity and musk. Good fragrance, but to expensive for what it offers.

Unforgivable is a cheap imitation of Creed Millesime Imperial and I AM King smells like something a 16 year old girl would wear - What a Joke!

The Original Bernini (black bottle) or perhaps Tsar from Van Cleef and Arpels could be called I am King.

The fact that Puffy would call his girly concoction I Am King is just pathetic!

Lemons! Lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons, lemons, LEMONS!! THAT IS ALL I SMELL! AND YOU ACTUALLY PUT THIS ON THE MARKET? TSK! TSK! TSK! HOT A** MESS!!

Ok, I hate P-Diddy and Rap. But i tried this fragrance at the store a few times now and must say it smells DIVINE! Might buy this when the prices come down a bit.

First impression; I Am King is not a manly scent. Instead, its fruity and less serious than anything else from SJ. Cranberry is easily detected; making the scent tarty fruity and sweet. Because of the cranberry, it reminds me of Kool-Aid or Ocean Spray juice drink. I can smell salt which helped the scent from becoming too sweet, and as it dried down into something bit more masculine scent; nice and plasticky. I think woman can easily enjoy this scent as much as man. Too bad I must say its name is a bit obnoxious.

Hi.

I could not undesrtand why this was winner oscar fifi awards 2009!Yes i believe in is OK but not a particulary great.

Top notes full of citrus fruity.the base notes is soft on my skin.it is like a smile on a young boys face.one of the positive thing about is that it is extremely lovely for girls!

Also is romantic and Good choice for intimate occasions in summer nights.the longevity is average on my skin.anyway not king and not unique for me.

7/10

It's really an alright fragrance. It would be good if it would last more than an hour.

this frag is really nice, it has a really citrus opening. the tangarine,lemon,berry are great top notes. as it drys down it becaomes sweet to (me). the woods in the basenotes make it even better. it lasts 6/10 hours on my skin althogh i has dry skin. it takes 30 mins to get to its middle notes. all round this is a perfect frag 4 20 under but if ur over tht n u can pull it off thn thts great. great 4 any events from BLACK TIE to CASUAL use. MUST TRY/BUY 4 anyone

Nice fragrance...most like Charriol for me...fresh and too sweet at first, but at last the woodsy-sandalwood dominating away.

Lovely citrus opening - reminds me of grapefruit though that's not one of the listed notes. Drydown seems very similar to Polo Black and as everyone else has mentioned, longevity isn't great. Nice but nothing special.

The cranberry in this makes I AM KING a unique fragrance. Im not going to comment on longevity b/c everybody has their own reaction to any fragrance, but this is a good buy. A pricy cologne but this cranberry just rides out for hours on end with a lush fruity freshness. If you want unique pay the price b/c this is like no other, hence the unclassified olfactive grouping above. Great for spring, better for summer day & night.

Really nice and refreshing scent that reminds me of sparkling orange juice. BUT diddy must think he works for Creed bc this shiz is wayyy overpriced for a mediocre celebrity scent.

I love it, the drydown is remarkable, but like everyones stated, it doesnt last long.
I usually apply 3-4 sprays on the neck. Too expensive though.

Well, I saw loads of this frag ads, expecting something macho scent, but when I tested it, it smell just like a pack of fresh mint with extra fruity chewing gum scent! Very disappointing and it smell cheap and very feminine.

Update:
To be fair, I give it a second try... and I've got same result, boring minty fresh scent that only last 2 hours on me. On paper, it smell 90% alike the Hugo Boss Pure minus the fruity scent. Guys, ads may trick you, your nose won't!

Damn...if only the scent lasted more than 30min. What an energizing fresh scent that is diff than most citrus colognes out there. Sparkling is the one word that comes to mind with I AM KING. I love it however it doesn't last more than 30 min.

might grab an edp imitation of this for 3.99 at citi trends tomorrow

I love this fragrance !! it is one of my favorites !

Smells really nice everyone around me likes it when i first put it on. After about thirty minutes you cant smell it at all nor can anyone else. The scent fades quicker then any cologne i have every had the body was i use scent last longer its like scented water fades way to fast cheap stuff last longer but it does smell good for the five minutes you can smell it.

ES UN EXCELENTE PERFUME, LO PROBE SOLO POR MUESTRAS QUE ME ENVIARON DEL EXTRANJERO, OJALA LLEGUE A PERU PARA DISFRUTAR DE SU INCOMPARABLE AROMA. RAFTIFICARE SENTIRME COMO UN VERDADERO REY. GRACIAS SEAN JOHN.

ابك ذا عصير

This one starts with a really zesty sherbety blast, and to me is somewhat like pink grapefruit (even though that is not one of the listed notes). Most likely the combination of cranberry and the orange and lemon notes gives this effect.

The initial citric sharpness passes, but the fruitiness lasts in a tamer manner throughout the life of the fragrance. There are woody notes in the background, but these are held in check by the citrus.

I quite like the fragrance, but not enough to buy it.

When i seen this fragrance, i was....i know who this is made for a "Reag Wood"
Its takes a true King to be ale to pull of such a scent, i think if youre not a King it would stink on u!

Since when are Americans able to create
good perfume?Leave it to those who are masters,i.e. the French.
Boring,Pop-Star-nonsense scent.
Good for the toilet seat maybe.
As bad as music is nowadays(GaGa and so on) as bad is their....oh I won`t call it perfume.I hope it vanishes very fast.

Do not buy this product without putting it on your skin first. You might get very dissapointed, especially for the price. I love unforgiveable but this one is very similar to ANY fruity acquatic fragrance, and not citrus at all... tends to be very sweet like mango or something like that.

First of all, i do not think a king would smell like this... lol... but it is a great scent. Its something new, modern, and classy.

It is fruity but not too fruity. It holds up well on the masculine part. The top notes are a nice blend of mild citruses with a nice woody dry down. I do like how this isn't your typical or ordinary fragrance. It's such a relaxed scent that isn't overpowering or offensive. I would wear this for any occasion.

I also agree on it smelling like Unforgivable but i wasnt very fond of Unforgivable. This is more smooth to my nose.

The longtivity is outstanding. I'll spray it in the morning before work and a would still get nice breezes of it late in the evening.

A sexy, modern fragrance for men that energizes with a burst of citrus tempered by natural herbs and spices.

A scent that is supposed to be "dedicated" to the Honorable Barak Obama. A scent that supposedly says that "we have arrived, let us breath new air" Martin Luther King, probably wouldn't approve of this....you can only do so much with a fragrance..I like the attempt, but Diddy, you'll get it.

I hate to say because I look at Diddy and I think he thinks his shit doesn't stink. But.. I REALLY like I AM KING! he made a fresh & fun cologne but come on...$60? yeah right no thanks diddy..

Ok I'm a girl, but I reallt hink this fragrance is good. I wear it sometimes and steal it from my boyfriend, because to me its very soft and fruity, but still masquline. I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE!!!

"Walk into a room proud, confident, sure, knowing that your presence will be felt, that this mysterious, intoxicating scent, which is now a part of you, will linger long after you have departed, subtle and unique,
captivating and alluring, the embodiment of all that you are, the one that proclaims "I am King"!"

The same as Unforgivable a little different and refresh the best as could be I LOVE IT SO MUCH and its nominated for an FIFI award Thank you very much Sean John for creating a sparkling beautiful and amazing fragrance that i call "THE SCENT OF MY LIFE".

Smell exactly like rotten fruit from beginning to end. Start out really strong and annoying then fade away quickly.

Diddy has hit the mark again. Clean and sexy cologne just bought it for my boyfriend.

I REALLY LOVE this scent! This might have to be my next cologne! The bottle isn't all that, but the Juice smells sooooooooooooo good! It's very fruity, but in a masculine way. This is what I imagine P.Diddy smelling like

I bought it for my fiancee. He likes it and I do too. It is very fruity.

i was kinda disappointed in this one. i really enjoyed unforgivable and unforgivable black but this one just doesnt cut it. it smells like any other fruity aquatic mens fragrance. if anything its fruitier and can easily be wore by a women. its boring and has nothing special to it. the bottle is quite hideous as well. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! ushers ur is much much better!

LOL Love the name. My hubby always says he's "the king" I'll have to get him this one just cause of the name.
