The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Orange, lemon, citron, mint, black currant and coriander: six notes in the top, and they read as a bright mix of citrus and herb rather than a single fruit. Mint adds a cool edge, black currant a tart, dark-fruit sharpness, and coriander a light, spiced freshness.
The heart turns floral and fruity. May rose and apricot give a soft, rounded middle, while basil and carrot seeds keep it green and slightly earthy so it does not turn sugary. The brand calls it a floral-fruity heart, and basil carries the herbal note on from the opening.
The brand calls the base warm. Dates bring a dark, sticky sweetness, fig a green, milky softness, and ambrette a light musky warmth underneath. The brand says this part commands attention, and the sweetness is kept in balance by the herbal notes that came before.
Wearing it
Bonus has a lot going on, so it suits daytime and warmer weather best, when the citrus and mint can show. In autumn the dates and fig take more of the stage. A parfum needs only two or three sprays. Wear it on its own so each layer can be noticed.
For people who like fruit and herbs in perfume and enjoy a scent that keeps changing. It will appeal to those who find plain citrus scents flat and heavy gourmand ones too sweet, as Bonus sits between fresh and sweet. Unisex, with a lively, slightly green tone.
Bonus is named like a poker term, in line with the card and poker names of Game of Spades, and every bottle of the line carries a spade. Its pyramid is long, with thirteen notes, yet the brand keeps it as one balance of freshness, warmth and intrigue.
Questions
Parfum, a concentrated form of perfume. With thirteen notes in the pyramid, that gives the layers time to open one after another.
Both. Citrus, mint and basil keep it fresh and green, while apricot, dates and fig add sweetness. The brand's accords are fruity, citrus, aromatic, green, fresh spicy and sweet.
A 100 ml bottle. The box is part of the Game of Spades series and is marked PARFUM, which shows the concentration at a glance.
Yes, May rose in the heart, but it is one of four heart notes beside apricot, basil and carrot seeds, so the heart is not led by the rose.
The house
Jo Milano Paris is known for Game of Spades, a playing-card themed line of parfums. The perfumes are named after card and poker terms or gemstones, each has its own bottle colour and every bottle carries a spade emblem. The scents run from bright citrus and ginger to hazelnut and caramel.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
