What does The Brilliant Game smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring stays close behind, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, with night outs and daily use also getting votes. Most voters read it as masculine, and some call it modern.

The Americano cocktail in the top gives a fruity, sweet opening. In the heart, cedar sets a woody frame and orange blossom softens it. Tonka bean in the base brings out the gourmand and oriental side. Joop! Joop! Homme Red King and Jaguar Excellence have a close profile.
