Game of Spades Bluff by Jo Milano – Sample Decant

Overview

Fresh, fruity, and confidently sophisticated, Game of Spades Bluff by Jo Milano is a modern woody-aromatic fragrance that blends sparkling citrus, dark blackcurrant, aromatic sage, smooth vetiver, and creamy tonka bean.

It opens with pink pepper, bergamot, and mandarin, creating a bright citrus introduction with a crisp, sparkling spicy edge. The opening feels energetic and fresh while carrying just enough sweetness to give it a more luxurious character.

As it develops, clary sage and blackcurrant become more noticeable. Blackcurrant adds a juicy, slightly dark fruitiness while sage brings a clean aromatic quality that keeps the fragrance refined rather than overly sweet.

The dry-down combines vetiver and tonka bean, creating a smooth woody foundation with earthy freshness and a subtle creamy sweetness.

Inspired by Speed Legends by Ex Nihilo, Game of Spades Bluff delivers a similar sophisticated blend of bright freshness, aromatic spice, dark fruit, and smooth woody depth.
