What does The Game (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer not far behind. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and about half of voters read it as masculine, with many calling it modern.

It opens with gin fizz and juniper berry, fresh, citrusy and lightly fruity. In the heart, iris and precious woods soften it and give it a woody base, with blackwood underneath. The overall feel is sweet and spicy, with a slightly synthetic sheen.
