Unforgivable Women Sean John for women

Sprayed this on paper and wasn't a fan. This scent really isn't anything special.

Aleluia! A celebrity perfume that is not rancid and synthethic!!
I like this one a LOT.
This perfume works in a very subtle way on my skin, its very creamy, woody and reminds me of the smell of cocoa powder.
Perfect for office wear, makes me feel confident and feminine.

I have tried this perfume while I was searching a b.day gift for my aunt who is going to be middle of 30s. After the testing, I gotta say this perfume, is strongly recommended for women who are in their late 20s at least and above. (It is very mature scent, that was my opinion when I sniffed it)

I don't really like celebrity fragrance since most of them are not unique enough to induce pleasant surprising, but this one is very different from any other celebrity fragrances for women. At the first time, I thought it is a bit fruity with florale background, but it didn't last that long - After around 2 minutes, it turned out to have very strong, masculine scent which is quite pleasurable to enjoy even though I'm not a big fan of those masculine or woody, powdery scent.

I thought this perfume is going to be the best for women who are like 'Miranda', from Sex & The city series. It really provokes about smart, chic and very self-indipendent features of women. Long lasting power is another positive tick from me.

I just received my first 2.5 ounce eau de parfum bottle in the mail today (a blind purchase) and I am in love!!! This perfume is one of my new favorite fragrances. When u first sniff the bottle it's a very masculine scent but you should never judge a book by it's cover; when I sprayed it on my wrist the aroma changed dramatically into a sensual, soft, powdery dream. It's subtle sweetness mixes beautifully with the woody vetiver and amber. It's divine. On me the staying power is EXCELLENT and I'm happy I decided to purchase the shower gel to layer with it as well. I can't wait to find out if it's a man magnet! lol

These notes sound amazing, this might be a more than worth while celeb frag! hmmm.. I'll have to investigate! lol

And Sean Jean.. is prety much the perfectionist.. so I'm sure he had much to do with the final product, or atleast aprooving it.lol

Funny, cuz right now.. I'm reserching celeb frags.. and with the ones I already own aside (queen latifas and SJP's covet being the best so far) ... it's now between Sean Jean and J Lo's 'Still..lolol

I'll report back on the winner!

a totally beautiful one,got it on my anniversary....funny enough i got my boyfriend unforgivable man and he got me this.....makes me feel very sexy

Astonishingly complex and alive, a refreshingly unique character, compelling and seductive. This one will become a classic.

I don't understand how one can dislike this, it is such a versatile fragrance, at first floral and afterwards woodsy, a little masculine and creamy. men love this scent, so I've heard. This is one of my favs, Diddy did a good job.

This is one of the few celebrity scents that I enjoy! I find its staying power is somewhat lacking, but for the price that's not much to complain about. I don't care for the opening - it's dramatic and sharp...even a bit synthetic and overwhelming at first. But after five to ten minutes it mellows out into an alluring, sexy smolder. I agree with the other reviewers who found this scent rather masculine. It is...and that's why I like it! It's spicy, dark, and audacious. On me, I don't get any of the creamy/fruity notes that some other reviewers are smelling...in fact it's difficult for me to pick out individual notes in this one. It's spicy all the way through! If you like spicy scents with masculine overtones, I would definitely recommend that you try this one. Good scent, great value.

my daughter just bought this and wore it yesterday. she put it on at 7 and it lasted all day and smells like she just sprayed it on. the smell is fabulous. spicy/floral and you can smell the lily of the valley. irrisistable. on dry down, a wonderful,sexy lingering scent, not loud or obnoxious. i'm buying it.

A few perfumes have been popular on here and I've heard several mention it's worn too often by too many people. Since my first review I have noticed this scent on several women on different occasions, and it was lovely each and everytime. This is the first scent I've ever noticed to be "popular". It seems to be the younger 20-35 girls/women. I'm so in love with this one and thought it horribly sexy, but I'm finding through others that you can be horribly sexy even at a funeral! I think if this were worn too heavily it wouldn't be appropriate but that hasn't been the case. This scent is better than Sean's vocal career! The ultimate best in all my celebrity scents!

This smells very good on me, but for some reason I only like to wear it on a rainy day.

Unforgivable Woman is a captivating, uncommon, sexy scent. It is shocking & sharp at the beginning, but few minutes after its well defined panoply of notes takes over and challenges my nose and grey matter with unexpected scents: musk, pear/pineaple, sandalwood, vetiver, amber, alcohol (must be the Pina Collada), patchouli.
The ellements of the blend complement each other well.

What is left at the end is the ethereal scent of some burnt aromatic wood, much like those Indian incence sticks. I love incence sticks and smokey notes, I very much like UW by Sean John.

The lasting power is disappointing though.

I so, so wanted this one to work. Love the history, the background and all the poetry around this fragrance. Alas, I've discovered that oakmoss and my chemistry just don't mix. My loss. Aside from that, I felt a melancholy sadness with the fragrance...maybe it's best for someone else. I do admire its timelessness.

I wanted to take balloons away but then I thought, if this scent has changed, maybe it doesn't last now, maybe it IS a weak watered down version? I think mine is so rich and sexy sexy sexy, and mysterious. I don't think it's smells anything like a man unless he's been with a woman wearing this! Oh this is just plain down and dirty sexy to me. The very first whiff I about fell to my knees. This is a perfect sex perfume just like D&G's red cap. This however does not last near as long, and that's a shame. It's the only fault I have with this one, IF it's a fault because it does last quite awhile! I just love it so much I don't want it die down or fade out at all. GOOD job Sean! Gosh, I can't even think of a woman right away that is beautiful enough to properly portray this.

The staying power is really bad. I sprayed it on me today for a test several times and it's hardly discernible after an hour on my skin. While it was still there I thought it's very woody and nutty - maybe a little like Trusardi Inside, but stronger and more masculine. It also had a strange sweet and cheap undertone I didn't like. It's not a buy for me although I usually like scents with a nut aroma.

Smells very masculine to me, I will be returning this sadly.

Aptly named, in my opinion - an unforgivable crime against perfumes! I usually avoid celebrity perfumes but thought I'd give it a chance. To me it was an uncomfortable mish-mash of indistinct notes that reminded me of the smell of a perfume hall when people have been spraying different fragrances all day. Definitely not for me, this one!

I find this fragrance very powdery and I couldn`t smell it on me at all.
Someone said it is a cheap version on L`instant de guerlain (that`s why I decided to give it a go) but I strongly disagree.
Won`t be buying again

In my opinion, Unforgivable Woman is along the same lines as 212 Sexy & also Guess by Marciano. It's sweet, fruity, woody, a bit spicy, yet very powdery and alluring. I don't know if I have the first version or the reformulated one, but my guess is this is the first version because it's very nice and in my opinion, quite well done. I really can't distinguish any particular note, though I can definitely tell it's an oriental floral. As others have already mentioned, Unforgivable Woman is very strong, so a little goes a long way. Needless to say, my 125ml bottle will be more than sufficient to last me my lifetime.

I was soooo disapointed.
Of course that's what I get for buying without trying again-

I really had good expectation though:)

anyway after seeing how many notes are actually in it- guess that may be why I couldnt even single out one note- and it just smells plain bad to me.

too many notes spoil the perfume ...

This is too masculine smelling for me. I bought this based on great reviews I've read but I personally don't like it. It smells more to me like a guys cologne than a ladies luxurious perfume. I wouldn't say I hate it, it's just kinda spicy. Never smell any of the heart notes I wish I could smell, only smell the base.. almost overpowerlingly so. I wish I didn't get this one

Nothing special, I can´t find any special notes in this fragrance. Unfortunately I spent a lot of money but I was pretty disappointed. Doesn´t stay long, smells quite boring. Don´t recommend it, there are much better summer fragrances you can get much cheaper.

Just nice, pleasant, a little sexy, but doesn't last at all :(

i purchased this when it came out mentioning there is coconut in it from the review i've read about this - here not listed though... anyway at least it has a tropical touch which smells slightly coconutty to me! it's very nice, fresh and sparkling fisrt and creamy on the drydown. very loveable for summer.
lasting power average, sillage good! it holds better on clothes and hair than on skin.
a delicious one if it lasts longer would be top!

Very pretty scent that dries down to a creamy, soft floral. It's definitely a romantic scent to wear on a date or to bed.

The perfume title is misleading as this is not for an "unforgivable woman." This isn't a bad girl scent but more of a good girl scent. This is an innocent fragrance that won't offend anyone and will actually bring people closer to you. I like it a lot.

I purchased this over two years ago after trying it very time I went through Macy's. I finally hunkered down and purchased it but then I rarely use it.

I recently rediscovered it and now I remember what I like about it and also why I shy away.

Initial blast is strong and busy. You smell everything! Wood, flowers, fruit, etc, it's allover the place in its composition. But then the dry down is beautifully creamy and heavy on the wood with great longevity. So I've decided, my compromise to Unforgivable is that I'm going to wear this one for work but spray it at least an hour before I leave the house.

Hi.

A blend of of an exotic and modern oriental with lower notes of Vanilla and Amber makes a strange scent that is pleasant and deserves more attention. UNFORGIVABLE is a clean yet romantic scent.in other words Creamy,Feminine,Warm,Floral, Charming and Interesting.

I suppose these composition making a heavy and heady perfume even at first slight it was very strong but quickly fades to a Soft and Pleasant scent on my skin.in fact a little fruity in the top notes mingle with floral heart on a warm woods base by soothing and feminine vanilla,amber and vetiver as i like it but not unique enough for a Oriental Floral.

It has a touch of sophistication without being overpowering.Soft and Subtle enough for Daytime wear and Seductive and Interesting enough for Romantic Evenings and perfect for young and mature ladies alike.i recommend it for AUTUMN weather.

Sillage?Pleasant.

Longevity?Good on my skin.

6.5/10

The topes notes, except the pear, do not last long. It goes right to the middle with lots of jasmine, peony, and rose. The drydown is awesome. My favorite combo of vanilla, tonka bean, amber and patchouli makes it a creamy dream. My only complaint... I wish it were a stronger, heavier scent. It is so soft, almost too soft. Regardless... It has some of my favorite notes and I think it's well done.

The name is also misleading. When I think of the phrase an "unforgiveable woman"... I think bold, daring, risk-taker, with a big scarlet letter "A" written across her chest. This is too modest and polite of a fume to be called Unforgiveable Woman.

my friend swore by this perfume so as soon as I got a chance I sprayed some. On me it just oily and there is no scent. So I didn't buy it, have no clue what she was speaking of. It must be one of those that really reacts with your body chemistry, on me there was no reaction.

This perfume is one of my favourite, the scent is flowery soft and sexy, hmmm, love it

first spray smells of alcohol. After about 15 mins starts to smell fruity, sharp and fizzy. Middle notes are powdery, flowery (but not sweet), and burnt wood. My boyfriend loves it, but I am not keen reminds me of furniture polish/fly spray.

I just couldn't not believe it but I actually like this one, its really nice and clean smelling. I usually do not like celebrity fragrances, but this one is very likable.

My friend has this fragrance and I test it on my skin. OH! it's very feminine and creamy,I like it only top note. Middle note is powdery flower,but I can't stand basenote,smell resemble like Paco black XS maybe because of vanilla and patchouli, every time I smell,it gives me a headhache.(I hate black XS so much)I'll like this fragrance unless basenote scent is the same of black XS.

I don't like this perfume at all. It's boring, not feminine at all. It reminds of hair oil for some reason.

I honestly don't know what to say about this one, as I got it as a birthday gift from a very good friend. Unforgivable Woman? What does that mean? I was kind of put off, but used the perfume anyway.

It is a strange fragrance that needs getting used to, as it keeps transforming from a formal woody, powdery smoky and amber like smell to a hint of darker flowers. I don't seem to be able to keep the scent on, as it leaves after an hour and needs a good three to four spritzes to be detected.

I checked the ingredients and still can't understand why the perfume doesn't give the amazing scent it should, as the after effect mostly comes off as dry alcohol and wilted flowers.

...finally a unique scent that stands out from the crowd. It is shocking at the beginning, and captivating few minutes after with its sexiness and creamy/powdery power.

This is a remarcable perfume.
It's something else.

I tried this on my wrist today and although I can't say that I totally dislike it, I am not particularly keen on it either... As someone mentioned - it smells almost as if it's not a female fragrance... but somehow to me it doesn't smell like masculine one either... So I am a bit confused and undecided on this one - it's creamy and I like that, but that's about it...

It smells quite light, flowery & creamy, which isn't such a bad combination on my skin. However, still not sure whether i want it as it is a rather common scent in my home town & don't think its long lasting or has that wow factor.
Therefore i find this scent to be in the unsure pile (will come back to it later -maybe) like most other celeb scents.

I've worn this perfume on & off for 2 years - not a scent I would have ever thried if it wasn't for smelling it on a friend. Never tried any other SJ fragrances but this one gets a thumbs up from me!

hmmm i loved the i am king (mens) cologne. but this seems to have WAY to much going on. the best scents have only a few notes and this has too many.

Its not a scent I would wear all the time but def one of my fav's. Creamy and soft! Im surprised at all the negative reviews but scents have diff effects on each person.

Its a nice smelling perfume very nice for going out but the hype over it was too much because when I did smell it I thought it was nice but not fantastic the way they were all going on about it.

I wont purchase a perfume twice if it looses its scent quickly-Why spend lots of money on a scent if nobody can smell it ?? This perfume stays on strong,and long..I can even smell it in our clothes hamper, days later on the laundry..
If oversprayed,it can definatley be overbearing,but 2-3 sprays,and its sort of spicy,powdery,and oriental.
I have to say,I like it,because its strong, and lasts long ,but I am not "in love" with the scent itself..

I love this scent and am shocked over so many bad reviews! I think it's very sexy and feminine. Powdery, creamy and just overall very nice. Sean has a lot of style and class, so I somehow knew before I even spritzed some on that I was going to love it. I plan to purchase a bottle soon.

It was just like watered down patchouli, nothing really distinctive or even wearable. Seriously, it was like a pitcher of water with some patchouli thrown in.

Some find this either too pungent or too evasive.

I found the notes of the fragrance rather creamy at the start with subtle florals towards the end, but seconds later it all seemed to have fanished.
I then sprayed it on cardboard and all I could smell was cardboard.
Friends of mine complain that there is nothing remarkable about this, since theres nothing to smell at all

I personally love this fragrance. It has so many ingredients in it, I really can't pick anything out. I sort of reminds me of champagne. I wear it all the time. I'm considering buying the bath products.

I agree with missk. I got no floral or fruity notes from this. It's warm, spicy, deeply woody and almost not female. It is however, rich and layered and definitely not like the preponderance of fruity floral whatevers that the shelves are groaning under. It goes on with almost incense notes, fades through an unfortunate sharp stage, and follows on to a lovely dry chocolate-wood-spice end that is perfect for cooler weather. Interesting and a nice change from the admittedly pretty but kind of boring fruity florals of the day.

smells good and lasted all day long on my skin.

I bought this as a replacement for the unobtainable Calandre & Shalimar.I didn't like any of the floral fragrances so out of sheer desperation the sales girl let me smell this.A big halleluah went up when I said I liked something.I find it subtle,not too overpowering & longlasting.I love the way the fragrance fades to this hint of spice,so sexy.

A colleague of mine wore this and it smelt lovely on her. I purchased a mini bottle for me and YUKKI YUK it is the worst perfume I've ever put on myself. It is sooo strong and a nasty base note came through which was rather nauseating. Smells a bit like an even more sickly version of Red Door or a stronger, sour version of Beautiful.

omg i actually like this better than the original unforgivable and it really has a nice scent i almost passed it up as a mans scent....... which makes this a little too spicy and sharp for many womens tastes

sean john is a virtually exclusive mens clothing company and i think he should stick to mens scents becuase the other perfumes are just too sharp and strong

I've had this perfume since it was first released - still the same bottle, now half-full - and it's easily my favourite. I note that the negative reviews are quite recent, but before that there were lots of people who loved it. It seems the ingredients have been changed. Obviously I can't comment on the changed version but the one I have is easily my favourite perfume. It's sensual and sexy and has great staying power, although I do tend to spray on my clothes, not my skin. It's one of the few perfumes I've really 'clicked' with and felt like it's just right for me. I love the soft subtleness of it after it's been on a few hours. I even bought a mini version so I could take it on holiday with me! I have recently bought 'Unforgivable Woman Eau Fraiche', which is very similar but lighter...I still can't decide which I prefer out of the two, but I adore this scent!

I'm actually surprised by all the negative reviews on this fragrance. I certainly did not find this scent boring or rotten-smelling. I actually consider this fragrance to be rather unique and special.

I'm rather shocked that the top notes are primarily citrus and fruits, because I did not get even the slightest hint of these notes on my skin. On me, the top notes were warm and spicy, quite sensual and comforting.

The heart of Unforgivable Woman is so odd, yet so appealing. I can smell a minty note mixed with fresh, green leaves and a hint of spiciness. This combination had me hooked and I couldn't help smelling my wrist every couple of minutes to see whether the fragrance had developed further.

The drydown, although lovely, was a little predictable with sandalwood being the most dominant note followed by patchouli, vanilla and amber.

Although they are not completely the same, Unforgivable Woman reminds me in some ways of Daisy by Marc Jacobs.

I certainly have a lot of respect for Sean John's recent merge into fragrances. So far, so good. I wouldn't say that this fragrance is sexy, in my opinion it is more of an intriguing and mysterious scent. It is certainly refreshing to have a celebrity create something so original these days.

Sean John's Unforgivable Women...if they wear this, I can't forgive them either!

What on earth is going on with this perfume? It's like a list of every scent that's ever been connected with femininity chucked into a test tube and shaken. I tested it on paper and was afraid. Then I tested it on myself to my instant regret.

Much as I like blackcurrant notes, they are very easy to get wrong; without a trace of sugar they can create a buzzy syrup of a scent, as they do here smothered with violets and roses, cloying and trying far too hard.

Flowers I got, but thick and stuffy like a whole bunch of women wearing different perfumes all crammed into an elevator in midsummer. I'll take the stairs!

This is a multi dimensional fragrance. There was so much going on in it from the fruity top notes to the floral middle notes to the spicy base notes. There was something in it reminiscent of coconut, which I'm not opposed to, but it must be used correctly. I liked it and I didn't like it. I don't exactly know what ingredient/ingredients in it that turned me off, but it did. In the end the cons outweighed the pros, and I just didn't find this scent all that appealing.

when tested on paper really liked it but when i put it my skin didn't work fo me. The scent fell apart very fast and dissapeared....

i will say also that it has a nice ending tho. the subtleness works well here. it is a nice clean scent. hmm.

i don't really like it.... smells like old library and wood? and its so subtle, you can only smell it if you push your nose right up on it... which i guess is the point. so not for day to day wear i suppose. its not that special tho... oh well. i also think the formula changed, b/c i remember i liked it the first time i sampled... hum...

I love it actually because it smell just like the tradition Chinese fan that made of sandlewood. It's warm and elegent, I don't mean this perfume gives me an elegent image but I do like it. It's s seduction for myself.

WoW this is definitely not a scent for me.I have to say that the top notes were utterly horrid with this blend of florals.I am not sure which notes throw it off for me but even my husband was like...Uhhh what did you just spray???Please Dont do it again!

I would like to say that it was just bad with my chemistry but I am afraid that that isn't the truth.I just feel that this blend is very ""off"" & very synthetic.It also smells very similar to another scent but I cant remember which one at the moment.It is the floral that smells similar to something else but the rest of this mixture is all on its own.
I'm afraid that I can not work with this fragrance!Maybe with the right lotion on & the right scented hair products they might all blend together & make someone a wonderful signature scent.
I am disappointed because I expected something Pretty good from P Ditty.You know, with all his high class bling & clothing I figured his scent would be as top notch as everything else he does.

Oh well =(

Unforgivable Women? Try Unforgivable STENCH! Ai yi yi. It sounds wonderful - juicily mouth-watering, in fact, and I generally like Oriental Floral fragrances, but when I tested this? It smelled rotten, like ferret urine or something. Oily and greasy and generally unpleasant. Not one I'll be adding to my collection.

I bought this perfume February 08..gorgeous..purchased another...eeeek! it has been changed. It smells completely different...bug spray. I sent an email to Sean's web site.. confirmed it has been changed. Too bad!

this perfume is DELICIOUS! its soo juicy fruity & mouth watering im crazy about it ..its sooo sexy i LOVE IT!!

Very common fragrance, but nevertheless very sexy

Tried this on today, and the first thing that came to my mind was the smell of real spicy incense made in India (the ones they sell at vietnamese grocery shops here in Norway)...mmm, quite special and lovely, I have to say. Unfortunately there was also a sour note that came to my attention pretty quickly, which i couldn't stand! Oh, how I wish it hadn't been there...After a while in the dry down the scent grew calmer, with a dusky, smoky and seductive feel to it, which I loved....hmm..too bad about that sour note:(

Loved the smell in the paper... but in my skin turns out to be tobacco, it was so strong that i have to wash it away... it is just not the one for me.

I bought this one as the initial scent really makes you feel sexy, but definately not an everyday thing for me. It got too much for me so I only use it for intimate occasions.

It's really sexy and special fragrance. Deep floral with some fruit. Nice! I Like it!

this is really sexy and it smells amazing as well.

This perfume is very sexy, confident and one of those perfumes where people you don't know will ask you what is that perfume your wearing...it is wonderful, it reminds me of Christian Dior Addict

Superb!So sexy and so feminine...

I don't like it. And all those notes, leave it to diddy to over do it.

This one is a really nice combination of different notes - I discover a new facet of it every day.
One of these facets is like Intimately Woman by David Beckcham. Just more balanced and richer.

I've been searching for what the scent was to an unlabeled vial sample I had gotten from Sephora about a month ago and this was it. I love it! It's a kind of perfume I haven't smelled before, very unique. Don't know how to explain it! It gives off a vibe of confidence and sexiness... incredibly feminine in a very headstrong way. Almost a bit mischievous, playing the game of "hard-to-get." Wonderful.

I was torn on this one... on one had I liked it but there was just something underneath that I couldn't quite put my finger on that I just wasn't sure appealed to me...
