Game of Spades Black Sapphire Extrait
Coming soon
Citrus, mint, May rose, dates and fig
Bonus belongs to the Game of Spades line of Jo Milano Paris and comes as a Parfum. Thirteen notes sit in its pyramid, from orange, lemon and mint at the top to dates, ambrette and fig at the bottom, and the brand frames it as a balance of freshness, warmth and intrigue. That much going on is worth trying on skin first.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Orange, lemon, citron, mint, black currant and coriander arrive together. Together they read as bright citrus and herb, with mint adding a cool edge and black currant a tart, dark-fruit sharpness. Give this layer a minute, as it shifts quickly.
May rose and apricot make a soft, rounded middle. Basil and carrot seeds keep it green and a little earthy so that it does not go sugary. The brand calls this a floral-fruity heart, and the basil carries on the herbal thread from the opening.
Dates, ambrette and fig close it. Dates bring a dark, sticky sweetness, fig a green, milky softness, and ambrette a light musky warmth under both. The brand says this part commands attention, so see whether it does so pleasantly on your skin.
Testing it
Put it on in the morning of a spring or summer day and follow it through to the evening, since a long pyramid like this reveals itself in stages. Wear it again in early autumn. Note whether the dates and fig feel too sweet for daily use or welcome as a contrast.
It is unisex and has a lively, slightly green tone. It appeals to people who find plain citrus scents flat and heavy gourmands too sweet, since Bonus sits between fresh and sweet. If you enjoy fruit and herbs in a perfume and a scent that keeps changing, it may be your kind of composition.
The line takes its names from cards and poker, and Bonus fits that playful idea, but a perfume with this many notes can end up in very different places on different skins. A concentrated Parfum is a lot to commit to at 100 ml. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems and labelled by us.

Both. The opening is citrus, mint and herbs, while the base has dates and fig. The sample shows which side you notice most on your skin.
Yes, May rose in the heart, together with apricot, basil and carrot seeds. It is part of a floral-fruity heart rather than a rose-led perfume.
No, it is not an official brand sample. FragranceGems fills the 10 ml glass spray vial from the original bottle and labels it itself. Jo Milano Paris is not involved.
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.
