"Launching an album is something that I know a lot about. So, naturally I wanted to launch Unforgivable Multi Platinum – the ultimate, concentrated version of Unforgivable – just like I would my music, and I’m doing it at Sephora. So sophisticated, so sexy, it had to be limited edition – the ultimate collector’s item," says Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Created by Sean "Diddy" Combs, Unforgivable was launched nationally in early February of 2006. The dramatic success of Unforgivable was followed up by Unforgivable Sensual Body Spray and now with this limited collector’s edition, Unforgivable Multi Platinum. Unforgivable Multi Platinum is the ultimate expression of classic fragrance craftsmanship with a modern point of view. This "platinum" version of the original Unforgivable scent is a sensual combination of luxurious ingredients hand selected from the most superior harvests and blended seamlessly to create a sexy scent with a refined edge. It does not get more exclusive than this, with only 100,000 being made. The concentrated fragrance is housed in a gorgeous frosted glass bottle, the epitome of elegance.
Sean John’s Unforgivable Multi Platinum fragrance Suggested Retail Price is $65.00 USD for 2.5 OZ. It is available at Department and Specialty Stores across the country.
