Already, you could see that this perfume has been made keeping in mind the price sensitivities of a certain set of people.

The citrus-y flavor with a blast of berries has been the rocking point of this cologne, which has thoroughly captivated the imagination of a lot of people. And yet, this really has been the cause of some bad press this fragrance has got for some time now. People feel that the sharp and pungent opening, somewhat citrus like, with the blast of berries is too strong a dose to start with.

Some people have not taken a liking to the fact that a cologne could open on such a strong note. What happens next is noteworthy? The intermediate notes border on a vague touch of musk, which could have alleviated a bit of the headache given by the opening notes. But the touch of musk is so faint that you would not even realize something has hit you.

Once the initial hype and hoopla about the perfume is done away with, you would find that the essence of the perfume slowly slips into oblivion. These entire make up for a classical women’s perfume, which I am king is not. It seems like Sean John has instructed the manufacturers to come up with a perfume on the ingredients given by him, and obediently, the manufacturers seem to have followed his instructions.

The bottle of I am King gives you an idea of the type of cologne it is with its chrome cap and sleek edges. In fact, this design gives the cologne a hint of classic style and is in fact, a case of pure encased luxury. It is said that I am King is something that tends to embody the lifestyle Sean John is famous for.

  
 I am King cologne is ideally meant for use by men, but some people feel that the limitations in the opening notes of the perfumes, and the way the fragrance fades out not too late in the day, makes it look like a fragrance for women. And in spite of so much criticism, people have indeed taken a liking to the Sean John Fragrance primarily because of the price point. For $74, you could really struggle to find a top class cologne in the market. With its limitations, Sean John has been able to market this perfume rather well.

“When we first heard about I am King, we thought it is going to be one hell of an expensive affair buying this. When we read more about it, we found out that all it costs is $74. The perfume itself was not bad, when you consider the money you paid for it. Absolutely recommended, for anyone who wishes to get full value for money” – says a customer who has tried I am King.

Comparisons, if any to Unforgivable, the first fragrance launched by Sean John cannot be completely shunned. First, the mix of notes is so typical of Sean John and his fragrances. You would find the strong citrus-y opening note in I am King, though in the Unforgivable, you could find a milder version of the opening note itself. One place where Sean John fragrances score over other fragrance lines is the uncompromising mix of French berries, which is so typical in these fragrances.

Most neutral buyers of this fragrance would rate I am King 4 on 5, with their only problem being with the strong opening notes. People feel that if a fragrance starts with a heavy strong note, it should do well in maintaining it for some time. I am King fails miserably on that front, but with that being said, it does enough for people to try the cologne at least once. If the strong scent is something people can get used to, then I am King truly will make you feel like one – A king!
