P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family presents: Mediocre Leisure Scent
Since the fragrance had only three reviews here so far and for a little more than 20€/100ml was to be had, I thought I'll try a blind buy and make myself an image. And well, as the headline and my rating suggests he has me unfortunately not just blown away.

Let's start with the presentation: The bottle is kept simple, which is nothing bad in itself. But he is just so incredibly boring. The thing has absolutely no charm, because you really wonder what the people in the design department have thought of it. For the price range, he is at least quite neatly processed, but that's it for me again.

The sillage is okay, but you get in my opinion unfortunately little of the entire fragrance composition with. For me, especially the sweet vanilla stands out more penetrating than I had expected in this dark bottle.

Really disappointed I was about the durability. Already after 3 hours I could hardly perceive the fragrance on my skin. On my clothes he held better, but also not outstanding.

After an arguably synthetic spicy opening, a sweet top note sets in. In my opinion, the mandarin comes out really pleasant in combination with the mint and pepper. Unfortunately, after a few minutes, the vanilla sneaks into the mix and stays with it until the end, which has me the thing a bit verdoreben. The just described interplay in the top note is brutally quickly disturbed by the early emerging vanilla and also covered quite promptly; and much more comes after that just not. What one is left with is a sweet mishmash that is nothing half and nothing whole. Too bad actually, because I really like the prelude and in my opinion has quite character. So it is unfortunately only enough for me to a mediocre and inconspicuous leisure or party fragrance.

The guy that looks like all the others
when I smelled Sean John for the first time, driven by my curiosity for new character scents I don't know yet, I immediately had this feeling "Oh no... I already know that from where! Boring!"

I just prefer to be flashed by new olfactory impressions than to discover one cloned sheep after the other..

And who does this scent clone now? In much-to-much... i'm reminded of the Montblanc emblem. Where the emblem enters the room with a sweet, slightly fresh pineapple in the head, it is substituted by Sean John's aftershave mandarin. But the sweet-woody-slightly fresh heart chord, and the basis are then very similar with both smells. (Violet Tonka Musk Something blah... or so)
He's also on a track with the Carolina Herrera 212 Vip line, you could say he's a bit like 1 million only without power... so let's say 0.5 million ;P

I would like to know how it comes that this fragrance is currently declared as "fresh green" here... for me it is sweet-woody in the first place.

It's really such a fragrance that you give away because it doesn't hurt anybody, but nobody who gets this far to read these lines really needs it ;P

EDIT: The fragrance actually has some light La Nuit de L'Homme borrowings, I smell that now more since Mazze told me in the commissions :D And I have to admit the more often I test it, the better I find it. He won't shoot at my new rating of 7.5 (just "good"), but he's not concrete enough and obviously too mainstream. There are certainly quite a few people here who would punish him for something sweet and sticky, you can believe me. ;P
