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 Sicilian citron make up the top. Three citrus notes together give a bright, clean opening with a slightly bitter edge, the sun-drenched freshness the brand talks about. There is no sweetness in it to weigh it down.
Tunisian neroli brings a soft, faintly bitter floral note between the citrus and the spice. Nigerian ginger adds dry, peppery heat and Ceylon cinnamon a rounder, sweeter warmth. The brand calls this part spicy-floral, and it is where the scent turns from cool to warm.
The brand calls the base rich and smoky. Chinese black tea gives a dry, tannic note, guaiac wood a smoky depth, and olibanum is a resin with a dry, incense-like edge. Ambroxan smooths it into a clean, ambery glow that stays close to the skin.
Wearing it
Full-House suits moments when you want to smell fresh and put together: office days, dinners, weekends in town. Citrus and ginger keep it lively in spring and summer, and the warm base makes it comfortable on cool autumn evenings. As a parfum it is dense, so a few sprays on chest and wrists are enough.
For people who like citrus fragrances but find a plain cologne too light. Full-House adds spice, tea and a smoky base to the brightness, so it suits anyone who wants a polished, rather dry scent that changes over the day. It is a unisex scent and deliberately not sweet.
Game of Spades is the playing-card line of Jo Milano Paris: every bottle carries a spade, each scent has its own colour, and the names come from cards and poker. Full-House is the blue one with a silver cap. Its pyramid is clear and balanced between citrus, spice and smoke, so it is easy to picture before you try it.
Questions
It is a Parfum, a richer concentration than an Eau de Parfum. The scent is dense, stays close to the skin and is built to last, so a small amount is enough.
Bright Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian orange and citron over neroli, ginger and cinnamon, finishing on black tea, guaiac wood, olibanum and ambroxan.
A 100 ml bottle of blue glass with a silver cap. The box is patterned with card-suit symbols and marked PARFUM.
Yes, for someone who likes fresh, spicy scents. It is a bright citrus parfum with a warm, smoky base, so it suits a person who prefers polished to sweet.
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
