I am King (2008)
by Sean John

I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy the fruity smell.

But for the price it goes for, it is not worth it. Does not last long, way to synthetic, it is not a fragrance is its "KOOL-AID IN A BOTTLE".

The beginning is very fruity, and almost too sweet. While that alone doesn't displease (in fact, beside it being slightly cloying, it does smell great), it completely disappears after an hour. Gone.

So aside from it being from Sean John and strictly speaking on the scent alone, I just cannot recommend it. There isn't enough for me to make a good judgement on!

This smells really good. I can barely smell it but it smells like strawberries. At $20 for the 1.7ml when you can find it on sale I think it's worth buying.

Against all negative opinions, I decided to buy it. I don't like stupid arrogant name, but absolutely love this lemon, fruity scent. It's incredibly refreshing, and makes me feel younger. Doesn't lasts to long (about 4-5 hours on hot days), but like funleong wrote - beautiful things doesn't last long... That's why my thumb up...

Edit: Maybe It's sounds strange, but on my skin, I am King lasts longer than L'instant de Guerlain edt...

I actually expected to see some positive reviews for this one. As hard as Sean John tries to stand apart from other celebrity fragrances, they fall in to that category for me. I absolutely love the opening to I am King! That sparkling grapefruit is intoxicating on my skin. If I had to smell like the first 10 minutes of I am King for the rest of my life... I'd be happy. This fragrance isn't good for much other than the gym or something like that. Longevity is terrible. It's gone in an hour. I give it a neutral rating strictly based on the 007 badass opening.

This opens with an indistinguishable fruit smell, but hard pressed, I would say orange and pineapple. The pineapple was the only saving grace here, as I really like pineapple notes. There was an attempt at a synthetic lime note, but not well executed.

It never really shifted from here, but did attempt to introduce a hint of vetiver to close things out. The closing out was approximately 1.5 hours after the beginning. Poof, gone.

Gents, pass on this one and keep sniffing other options. Your money would be much better spent.
