Game of Spades Full-House
Arriving soon
Bergamot, apple, vanilla, tonka and ambergris
Wildcard is the Game of Spades parfum that Jo Milano Paris calls an unconventional blend, one that embraces the unexpected. It begins with bergamot, flowers and coriander, puts apple, ambroxan and vanilla in the heart, and ends on tonka bean, ambergris and woody notes. The bottle is black with a gold cap, and the scent dates from 2022.

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
The top starts with bergamot, a bright citrus, and coriander, which adds a fresh, slightly green and spicy edge. The brand also lists flowers here without naming one, so they work as a soft, unspecific floral lift rather than a single recognisable bloom.
In the heart, apple brings a crisp fruit note and vanilla a smooth, creamy sweetness, with ambroxan between them adding a soft, diffuse warmth. Fruit, vanilla and amber are the accords the brand highlights, and this is the stage where they meet.
The base is tonka bean, ambergris and woody notes. Tonka adds a warm, rounded sweetness, ambergris a soft, slightly salty depth, and the woody notes give a dry frame so the sweetness does not stay syrupy. The finish is warm and full.
Wearing it
Wildcard is warm and sweet in the base, so it is most at home in cool weather and in the evening. Autumn and winter suit it best. Two or three sprays on the chest are enough; let the apple and bergamot open before the vanilla and tonka settle in.
For people who like vanilla and amber but want some fruit and a fresh start in front of them. It suits anyone who enjoys an unexpected pairing, apple next to ambroxan and vanilla, over a classic sweet scent. Unisex, with an evening character that fits dinners and gatherings.
The brand frames Wildcard as a blend that embraces the unexpected, and the pyramid backs that up: bergamot and coriander, then apple, ambroxan and vanilla, then tonka and ambergris. The black bottle with its gold cap carries the spade emblem of Game of Spades.
Questions
Parfum, as printed on the box. It is a rich, concentrated form of perfume, built to last, so a small amount is enough.
Moderately. Vanilla and tonka bring sweetness, but bergamot, coriander and apple keep the opening fresh, and the woody notes make the finish drier.
A 100 ml bottle, black with a gold cap, packed in a box marked PARFUM. As with the rest of Game of Spades, the box is patterned with card-suit symbols.
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
