Game of Spades Wildcard
On request
Citrus, cardamom, two peppers, Java vetiver
Double Bonus puts its emphasis on the heart, where cardamom, nutmeg and two kinds of pepper meet neroli, between a citrus top and a base that lists only Java vetiver oil. Jo Milano Paris frames it as a bold, polished scent about confidence and success, for people who wear it by day or night. It was released in 2025.

Reviews of FragranceGems, the shop behind NicheGems
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
Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian orange and mandarin start the scent. The trio is bright and rounded rather than sharp, with the mandarin softening the bergamot and the orange adding a juicy, sunny note. It sets a fresh, clean stage, and the spices follow soon after.
Five notes share the heart. Tunisian neroli gives a clean floral thread, Guatemalan cardamom a fresh, aromatic spice, Indonesian nutmeg a warm and slightly sweet one, and pink pepper and plain pepper bring dry, tingling heat. The brand's accords here are fresh spicy and aromatic.
The base lists a single note, Java vetiver oil. Vetiver is a grass root with an earthy, dry, woody character, and here it grounds the spices without sweetening them. The brand also lists a woody accord and a sweet one, so the finish has both a dry line and a soft edge.
Wearing it
According to the brand, Double Bonus is made for day or night, and its fresh, spicy character suits spring, summer and early autumn. Because the heart is full of pepper and nutmeg, a measured hand works best: two or three sprays on the chest are plenty for a parfum.
For people who like spice that stays fresh instead of turning heavy: cardamom and pepper rather than vanilla and amber. It fits office days, dinners and anyone who wants a citrus scent with more texture than a cologne. Unisex, with a clean, aromatic tone.
Double Bonus carries the spade emblem of the Game of Spades line, whose names come from cards and poker, and its box is patterned with card-suit symbols and marked PARFUM. What stands out in the pyramid is the number of spices in the middle, paired with a simple one-note base that keeps the scent clear.
Questions
Parfum, one step above an Eau de Parfum in concentration. That suits a heart so full of spice, and a few sprays go a long way.
Yes, but a fresh kind. Cardamom, nutmeg, pink pepper and pepper are balanced by bergamot, orange, mandarin and neroli, and the base is vetiver rather than a sweet resin or vanilla.
A 100 ml bottle. For a spice-led parfum like this, that is a generous amount for regular wear, since only a few sprays are needed each time.
Day or night, according to the brand. Fresh citrus and pepper work well in the office, and the vetiver base keeps it composed in the evening.
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
