WoodyWhat does New Game smell like?
The top is lemon and apple, fresh and fruity. In the heart, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, juniper and thyme add a spicy, herbal edge. Vetiver, patchouli and cumaru form a woody base, with aquatic and sweet accords running through the whole.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Voters pick it mostly for daytime, leisure and office wear, with fewer votes for evening and night out. La Rive The Hunting Man and Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Tonic have a close profile.
