The events surrounding last weekend's NFL Draft Pick in New York City drew more than a handful of NFL's finest. Knowing they'd come out to take advantage of party perks includuing potential endorsement deals and skintight dress-clad beauties, this Stylespotter jumped on the opportunity to ask several including New York Jets cutie Kerry Rhodes (above) and a model, former ANTM contestant Whitney Cunningham, to weigh in their opnion of the new, limited-edition Sean John Unforgivable Black and Unforgivable Woman Black scents. (We couldn't leave the ladies out of this one, sorry.) Packaged in beautiful, solid black bottles there was no denying its sex appeal visually but did the scent hold up to its image? Remembering that honesty was the best policy they kept it very real and divulged their most recent purchase and dream campaign they'd love to be in.
Kerry Rhodes of the New York Giants
Unforgivable Woman Black: "Summer breeze. I'd like for a woman to wear it in the summertime to the lounge. When's she's coolin out, chillin'."
Unforgivable Black: "It's cool. I'd wear it to a dressed up, classy event."
Dream ad campaign: "Anything for Calvin Klein. Clothes, underwear..."
Favorite recent purchase: "Louis Vuitton knapsack."
Fred Robbins of the New York Giants
Unforgivable Woman Black: "Light and clean. It's ok."
Unforgivable Black: "I would buy it. I'd wear it to a casual event like this (NFL Draft Pick) weekend.
Dream ad campaign: "Ceasar Clothing, a hot new line out of New Jersey."
Favorite recent purchase: "SL 63 Mercedes Benz"
Calvin Pace of the New York Jets
Unforgivable Woman Black: "Too mainstream, doesn't feel exclusive."
Unforgivable Black: "Like it. Feels similar to the woman's. I would wear it to practice. It's a nice, clean fragrance. I wouldn't wear it to the club."
Dream ad campaign: "2xist underwear, I love their stuff. Or PRPS Jeans."
Pierre Thomas of the New Orleans Saints
Unforgivable Woman Black: "Smells like hair shampoo!"
Unforgivable Black "Smells nice."
Dream ad campaign: "Sean John."
James Ihedigbo of the New York Jets
Unforgivable Woman Black: "A lil' too sweet but has a nice coconut scent so I like it."
Unforgivable Black: "Too strong. It would be better if the scent lasted longer."
Dream ad campaign: "Sean John definitely. Tell Diddy to call me for real!"
Former ANTM contestant Whitney Cunningham
Unforgivable Woman Black: "It has a nasty smell to it. With a floral tint. "
Unforgivable Black: "It's too soft for a man to me. I thought it was a woman's scent! I would wear the men's before I would wear the woman's version."
Dream ad campaign: "Marc Jacobs."
THE VERDICT: The majority ruled in favor of Diddy's new splash. It totally lacks bitchassness if you get what we mean.
You can take a whiff and purchase it yourself at www.seanjohnfragrances.com or at Macy's, Dillards, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. The 2.5 oz size retails for $65. The Mother's Day Gift Set just dropped, $75 for a set that includes a larger size spray and body lotion.
Blonde wig (a' la Janice Combs) not included.
