What does Les Jeux sont Faits smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and lean towards evenings and nights out. Both its longevity and its sillage are rated good. Most see it as masculine, while some call it classic.

The top opens with gin, dried fruits and angelica, giving a fruity, sweet start. In the heart, tobacco, cumin and Cuban rum add a spicy, smoky tone. The base of patchouli, cistus, sandalwood, labdanum and vanilla settles into a resinous, earthy, woody warmth.
