Cheap price/ Niche quality
Sensational ! Fresh, a bit sweet, bit woody, bit floral. It somehow has a vibe of Sprite/7UP but much better. Bitter, effervescent and sparkly. It reminds me of the classic Acqua di Gio but even more refined.
The quality is unreal for my nose taking in consideration the price. I feel that this is more versatile that you might think. I will for sure try it in each and every season.
The performance didn't let me down. 7-8 hours with decent projection. Even if you won't feel it as strong after 2 hours, it will continue to be around you for few extra hours. This is the perfect performance that a fragrance can have. I want to believe that we need a bath after 7-8 hours lol.
The presentation is also brilliant, heavy bottle, thick box, very unique and nice design.
The sprayer is out of this world. With just 2 sprays you will be chocking yourself.
It was a big surprise for me and I urge you to try it !

Overall : 8.25/10

Effervescent versatility
I'm surprised there's not a single review here yet, so here are my thoughts.

I really dig the presentation of course :)
Nice textured box, heavy bottle with a thick plastic cap and an iconic, pressurized Dior/Juliette Has a Gun style atomizer.

This fragrance is citrusy, bright, fresh, crisp and spicy.
Kind of has a vibe of pickle juice when you sniff the atomizer, but don't get discouraged, just give it a try, it literally takes just seconds to change.
It opens up with sparkling tonic water and a very realistic mandarin orange note (it's like peeling a mandarin, awesome), hinted with some fig leaf and cardamom.
The leather and the geranium are either really light or non-existent and the 'sensual skin accord' is just a marketing gimmick, as you would expect.
Very linear, it doesn't really change over time, it just starts getting weaker until it's gone completely.

Super versatile, really easy to pull off, you can get away with this almost anywhere: in the office/school, on a date, gatherings etc.
You can wear this year-round, except Winter, but that's not a problem in a temperature controlled environment.
It leans more casual and has a laid back feel, but you can dress it up if you feel like it.
Pretty unique as well, doesn't really smell like anything I've tried so far.

The performance is about average, some may say it's lacking.
I get 7 hours of longevity at best, it barely hangs in there in the last hour or so.
(definitely shorter lived even than that in the Summer)
Projection and sillage are decent in the first 2 hours, the people around you can easily pick it up in that period.
Carry a decant with you, because reapplying is recommended with this one.

Overall, this is a really good buy, you can find it between $15-20, it's well worth the price.

Sweet Tonic water note
This is all about Tonic water note, and it's an intresting one for me. Citrus-sweet and fresh. No leather or suede note on my skin.
For increased longevity and projection i spray it on shirts.

The atomizer, WOW, it should be standard for all this kind of easy to wear parfumes. Just amazing qualitty!

I think it might combine well with other parfumes, i plan to combine it with a cold sugarless one, like encre noir sport.

Sporty Cheapie - One of the Better Star Scents
Sean Combs aka P. Diddy launched a very affordable, sporty fragrance in 2015. Both the Sean John brand and the scent were completely unknown to me until I heard about it on YouTube from Tltg Reviews. He rightly praises it.

The dominant notes are fig, mandarin, and cardamom in the opening. Later, a decent portion of gin and tonic comes in, with a leather accord subtly noticeable. Although not specified, I also smell pepper. All together, it creates a really good fresh scent that is quite unique. I don't know any other fragrance with this DNA; it might remind you a bit of Kenzo Homme Night (which, however, drifts more towards sweetness and is less fresh).

I also give 10 points for the not only beautiful but also wonderfully sprayer-equipped bottle. In this price range (25€ for 100ml), such high quality... Impressive! The scent is solidly lasting for a freshie, 4-5 hours close to the skin, with an okay sillage for the first 2 hours. It is especially suitable for the mild to warm seasons, as well as after showering, before or after sports, or whenever you want to avoid being too bold but still desire a certain uniqueness in your EdT. Thumbs up!

Unfortunately Discontinued
I don't like to write about discontinued fragrances, as I don't want to get people hooked only for them to find that this scent is unavailable. However, I wanted to say a few words about this great fragrance, as I find it surprisingly good and, in my opinion, there are few alternatives with this DNA. This 3AM is the number 2 in sales after Unforgivable Eau de Toilette with this Millesime Imperial dupe, which I also like. Such star brands are often not really my thing, which is probably how most people in the perfume community feel as well. There is a lot of junk and uninspired stuff at the drugstore level. However, good work was done here for the scandalous rapper P. Diddy and his brand Sean John, and you get a wonderful fresh scent that is already quite soft yet still has its edges and corners. An absolutely great fragrance that is a worthwhile alternative, especially for warmer days. I love this charm and its unobtrusive citrus freshness. In the past, it was a great cheapie available for 20-30€. Now you can find it on eBay for around 200€. It’s certainly not worth that.

The fragrance came in a typical designer/drugstore box, and the bottle was also quite high-quality with this texture. The highlight for me was the sprayer: this is, in my opinion, the best on the entire market. Simply wonderful, this sound and this buttery soft spray. The amount of fragrance was also just great. More of that.
In terms of scent, this EdT has its very own charm. A wonderful citrus-fresh DNA with this delightful fig leaf note. A lovely green note that is simply very beautiful and very unique. In the opening, you get a combination of bergamot and mandarin, which together provide a wonderful juicy-citrus freshness. The bergamot is also a bit bitter. Added to this is a subtle cardamom spice, which is never too heavy and doesn’t spoil this summery creation. The fig leaf is present for many hours and offers a great blend of fig and this green freshness. The floral notes of orange blossom and geranium are not detectable, but they could play a role in this well-woven overall concept with their gentle touch. The skin accord note doesn’t mean much to me right now, but it could make this fragrance special. This creation has its own charm and sits wonderfully on the skin, smelling very pleasant. Later on, a subtle sweetness and a bit of wood come through. However, this base is not so potent that it would play an important role. I don’t perceive the suede in the base, but that doesn’t bother me with this wonderful freshness. Overall, very harmonious, and the fig leaf note is certainly the star of this creation.
Performance is typical for freshies in this price range. After 4-5 hours, this fragrance gives up the ghost and may only perform a little close to the skin. But that doesn’t bother me, as it is a top option for casual wear. A great freshie that is very unisex.

Overall, it’s a shame that this fragrance was discontinued. I love the lightness of this scent, and the fig leaf note is convincing as well.

The sprayer, I've had super soakers with less power. Two soaks. Scent is a bright citrus, Sprite. I prefer as an out of shower or summer.

Citrus, effervescence on opening and smooth suede. BEST SPRAY ON THE MARKET. Skin scent accords with fig and soft champagne. Best dumb reach

Does it last all day? - No. Does it have to? - No. Do I enjoy the hours with the refreshing fig-tonic combination? - Absolutely!

Mandarin kisses bergamot.
Orange blossoms peek from afar,
comfortably from the soft leather sofa,
gently dusting themselves with cardamom.

Fig and sweet - yes, it probably goes perfectly with hard-core gangsta rappers. Not.

Nice scent for youngsters ;-)
Reminds me of disco deodorant with a slightly metallic-cool note,
refreshing, fun!
Decent!

Fresh mandarin with a very pleasant fig leaf. An underrated scent in my opinion and by far the best sprayer I've ever had.
