Game of Spades Full-House
On request
Bergamot, apple, vanilla and tonka
Jo Milano Paris Game of Spades Wildcard is a Parfum that the brand describes as an unconventional blend embracing the unexpected. It starts with bergamot, flowers and coriander, moves through apple, ambroxan and vanilla, and lands on tonka bean, ambergris and woody notes. A blend meant to surprise is best met in small amounts first, which is what a 10 ml decant is for.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Bergamot and coriander open it, with an unspecified floral touch recorded as flowers. It is bright and slightly aromatic. A good test here is how quickly the freshness gives way, since the sweeter notes follow it fairly soon.
The heart puts apple beside ambroxan and vanilla. Apple adds a juicy, fruity edge, ambroxan a clean, airy warmth and vanilla a soft sweetness. The mix is what the brand means by the unexpected, and it is the part that people react to most differently.
The base closes on tonka bean, ambergris and woody notes. Tonka and ambergris give warmth and a faintly salty softness, the woods a dry frame. The listed accords lean amber, vanilla and fruity, so expect a warm finish more than a crisp one.
Testing it
Wear it on a cool evening, with a modest amount on the chest, and let the bergamot and apple open before the vanilla and tonka settle in. It is warm and sweet in the base, so it makes the most sense in autumn and winter. Wear it for a few evenings to see if the sweetness suits you.
This page lists it as unisex. The sample suits people who like warm, sweet, amber and vanilla scents with a fruity twist, and who wear them in the evening. If you prefer plain citrus or fresh aquatic perfumes, a decant will show you early whether this one is too much.
A blend that mixes fruit, vanilla and ambergris can feel playful on one person and heavy on another, and 100 ml is a lot to be unsure about. Our decant, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, gives you several evenings to decide.

The box and the brand's page both say Parfum, so that is the concentration recorded here. The decant you receive is filled from that 100 ml bottle.
A 10 ml amount of the perfume in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. It is not an official brand sample, and Jo Milano Paris is not involved.
Leaning that way. The heart has vanilla and the base has tonka bean and ambergris, and the brand's main accords include amber, vanilla and fruity. Apple and bergamot give it some lift at the start.
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.
