Game of Spades Wildcard
On request
Pear, orange blossom and woods from day to night
Jo Milano Paris describes Game of Spades Black Sapphire as a bold, modern-luxury parfum that carries from day into evening. Pear, bergamot, mandarin and ginger open it, orange blossom meets Georgywood in the heart, and musk, Ambrofix, Akigalawood and cedar finish it. It is a 90 ml Parfum, which makes a trial before buying sensible.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Pear, bergamot, mandarin and ginger make the opening, which the brand calls crisp and juicy. Pear gives soft fruit, the citrus keeps it bright and the ginger adds a thin line of heat. Watch how long the fruit stays in front on your skin.
In the heart the brand sets orange blossom against Georgywood. The white flower and the woody note balance each other, so neither runs away. This stage decides whether the perfume feels fresh and floral to you or more woody.
The drydown is musk, Ambrofix, Akigalawood and cedar, which the brand calls a warm woody trail. After the bright start it settles calmly and stays near the skin. The decant lets you follow this change across a whole day.
Testing it
Because the brand pictures a perfume that works from day into evening, wear the decant for exactly that: put it on in the morning and check it again before dinner. Notice what remains of the pear and ginger and when the woods arrive. A second day in a different mood gives a fair second opinion.
People who like fruit and citrus in a perfume but want wood and musk underneath, and who prefer one scent for work and dinner. It is unisex, with a crisp, modern tone rather than a sweet, heavy one. If you want a gourmand or a floral bouquet, look elsewhere.
The pyramid shows only a general direction: fruit, flower, wood. How it develops is for your skin to say. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, so you can test it before the full 90 ml.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

No. The Parfum is poured by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial with our label. The house did not make it and is not involved.
The brand says it works from day into evening: crisp and fruity at first, warm and woody later. Testing it at both times of the day tells you which suits you more.
Georgywood in the heart, and Akigalawood and cedar in the base, with musk and Ambrofix beside them. All of them are in the brand's pyramid.
The brand
Jo Milano Paris is known for one idea carried through with discipline: Game of Spades, a line of Parfums named after card and poker terms or gemstones, each in its own coloured bottle with a spade emblem. Behind the theme sit quite different perfumes, from sunlit citrus with ginger to hazelnut and caramel. The names tell you nothing about the smell, which is the practical reason to start with 10 ml decants and let your skin decide.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
