I tested this one a long time ago. Now I have ordered this one a short time ago. This is a fragrance twin to Creed's Millesime Imperial. My second twin after Ed Hardy's Love & Luck. And I can say: Both come very close and cost only about 1/5 of the Creed. I also like the MI of Creed quite well, but I wouldn't pay the price, especially since the performance is not convincing at all. But as with many Creed scents there are really very cheap alternatives, like this one.

Sean John is the fashion line of Sean Combs aka. Puff Daddy or also P.Diddy. Pretty much everyone should know him by that name. This is not a typical "celebrity scent", because the prices are cheap but clearly above drugstore level. You can also smell that in the fragrance. In my opinion, it is of a very high quality, especially for this price. I bought 75ml for almost 75ml. Fair.
The bottle has been "modernized". Too bad, the bottle indicated here looks nicer than the one I own. The new one fits well in the hand and still doesn't look bad. Since I'm interested in the fragrance anyway, it's not really important. Whether the fragrance has been reformulated. Probably, as can be read here. I can't confirm that, since I don't know him for so long

The first 5 minutes I find the smell slightly unpleasant. Smells like an ordinary toilet freshener. Luckily this disappears quickly. It's hard to break the fragrance down into individual scents here, as the big pyramid confirms. It has many citrus notes, which are wonderfully fresh. In addition, there are fruity notes, especially tangerine. Slightly sweet notes are also perceptible, which can be credited to the Tonka bean. Nevertheless, the fragrance is fresh through and through, and in a very modern way. Towards the end it ends softly woody. A light and sensual sweetness is very pleasant next to the wood.
I don't feel the performance is as bad as I thought. A detailed test showed a durability and about 6-7 hours with good sillage in the beginning and later rather well perceptible.

Beside this one I can also recommend the Ed Hardy, especially since the two are very similar. Also goes in the direction of Creed MI. But it is much softer and more gentle, which I prefer. A nice scent for spring and summer. Not too complicated, which recommends it especially for everyday use.

My 200th comment I dedicate to the fragrance of the brand Parfums de Marly, which I like so far best of this great brand. After I ordered the 4.fragrances as samples, which are so about my taste I must highlight this quite clearly. I will eventually order me a few samples of other this brand, however, I think less that I like the better than this.

The Pegasus and Layton fragrances are also very popular with designer fans. I feel the brand as a whole is high quality, but they could also be sold as designer fragrances under other names. What I have to say positive about this brand is the performance and the sensual aura. Simply great.

Now to Pegasus: this one was on my test list for ages, because it has a really good reputation. Likewise the fragrance pyramid meets my taste, especially for the evening and cold / cool days.
The bottle is noble as all. I know only from pictures, but matching the price and the noble fragrance an elegant typical PdM flacon. Here in great silver.
Excited at the first sprayer. He convinces me from the first second. He seemed familiar to me from the beginning. He einnert me slightly to my beloved Code Profumo by Armani. However, less brutal, softer, more sensual. It definitely starts a bit lighter, which could be due to the bergamot. A nice gentle sweetness accompanies this. Almond and vanilla can be smelled almost completely in the course of the fragrance. In a classy and elegant way. A slight rubber note a la Bvlgari Black also comes to mind, which I totally like. Lavender also comes out well here, which harmonizes with the sweet and spicy notes here. the almonds become stronger as it progresses and harmonize especially with the base of vanilla, amber and soft woods. Even though it has slight gourmand hints, it's not too gourmand. A sweet and spicy fragrance that convinces me all along the line. As I said, it reminds me of Code Profumo, only softer, which makes it a nice evening and date fragrance in particular. Even though it is very sweet and also has feminine hints, I find this one rather masculine. Ladies with preference to this pyramid can of course also test the.
The performance is really good here. Of the tested Marly fragrances the best so far. Sillage and durability are very very good, almost as good as my beloved Code Profumo.

On the whole, a fragrance that I can recommend. To the coming autumn / winter I will possibly secure me a bottle, because you get 75ml already around the 100 euros. Whether the actual price of 125ml/200 euros is justified, I leave here times open. Nevertheless, a successful fragrance that will convince many. Not only niche lovers.

Comment number 2 from my Parfum De Marly test: For a week now I've been testing the PdM fragrances Oajan, Herod, Layton and Pegasus. There was a comment on Herod, now it's Oajan's turn. I have already tested the Oajan twice and can make me so a good picture.

The flacon is like all very noble. Also in this color combination great made. The flacons are already worth their money. Whether the fragrances are worth so much money, everyone should decide for themselves. Price is about 200 euros a 125ml. Or you choose the 75ml, which you get for about 100-130. Not cheap.
Oajan I ordered as a sample, because I like the fragrance twins 1 Million Prive and Dolcelisir very well. One thing in advance: these two really come very close to this Oajan. Oajan starts off very cinnamon heavy. Lots and lots of cinnamon with honey. Very sweet and just great for gourmand lovers. The opening is very well done and totally reminds me of Dolcelisir. 1 Million Prive is also very close to this fragrance. It is followed by more sweet notes with vanilla and tonka, which are actually present almost throughout the course. Add to that a pleasant spice and sensual warm notes and the delicious dessert is ready. Too much it does not change over the course, towards the end it becomes only significantly softer.
Overall, a great gourmand for the cold season. Since I have two similar fragrances with Dolcelisir & 1 Million Prive, this one does not impress me though. Especially since the two mentioned are much cheaper and are a bit better in performance. Dolcelisir in particular is the first of the three I can recommend. With ca.35Euro/50ml very much more price performance than this Oajan.
Oajan you have to let: It is also a high-quality fragrance with decent performance. My buy recommendation I would also pronounce, despite the high price. If it is umbedingt expensive niche should be: The will certainly impress many people and make gourmand lovers happy. Funny I find the rating, just what the performance is concerned. I don't think it's as good as the score here. Dolcelisir, on the other hand, is much weaker, but is in my opinion better than this.

If I evaluate only the fragrance, it has earned a high rating. On P-/L related there would be deductions, because the Gourmand competition is great. Who does not want to spend quite so much money, finds good alternatives in the Gourmand section.
