Which Should You Buy?
Despicable copies Sean John's Unforgivable - that sparkling citrus opening melting into lavender, iris and a smooth cashmere-wood base. The dupe captures the fresh-fougere-to-creamy-wood arc but reads flatter, with shorter longevity than the FiFi-winning original.
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but be warned: this ain't your average crowd-pleaser. It's a polarizing, historic scent - some find it heavenly, others pick up naught but an animalic tang. Love or loathe it, you're smelling a piece of perfumery legend.
