Excusable For Women EDP
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Unforgivable Women EDP
Sean John's Unforgivable Women: a truly divisive scent. Some swear it's a sophisticated, creamy dream; others find it a cheap, synthetic nightmare. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, strongly dependent on your body chemistry. Proceed with caution on this one.

Our Verdict - Excusable For Women EDP
Excusable copies Sean John's Unforgivable Woman - that fruity-citrus opening blooming into white florals over a soft woody-vanilla base. The dupe captures the radiant fruity-floral character but reads flatter and busier, with shorter longevity than the original.

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Also Works:

Formal
While some find it office-appropriate, its strong woody-powdery profile and mixed performance reviews suggest it's best suited for dates or casual wear where its sensuality can shine without being overwhelming. It's too complex and intimate for formal events or sport.
