Gioco all'Alba

I am not an expert in drinks or claim to be one, but to my nose, Gioco all’Alba smells like rum, not whiskey. A delicious, deep, dark, very sweet rum blended with leathery, tobacco, vanilla, woody facets and a hint of davana and saffron added for contrast! It’s a great combination of powerful notes that create something different and intriguing. Sophisticated, complex, boozy, smokey, sweet, a scent on tethering to gourmand side... Unlike any other boozy fragrance that I have or tried as of today. Since I’ve not tried any of the fragrances listed in the reminds me of section, this is a unique perfume to me. Unisex and cold weather appropriate in my opinion. Performance-wise, this fragrance is a star. It boasts excellent longevity and a projection that’s strong enough to get you noticed without feeling overwhelming. It’s a head turner fragrance for sure! Bois 1920 make some outstanding fragrances for both genders, all season and all occasions. Gioco all’Alba is just one perfume from a long list of memorable creations launched by this Florentine house throughout the years! Performance, quality, uniqueness, creativity, packaging, all of that you get from Bois 1920 for such affordable prices compared to other niche European houses. One of the most underrated Italian niche houses! I feel like the past ten years, Xerjoff eclipses all the other Italian brands...

Start very sweet, boozy and caramelized, and after 10 minutes you can start to appreciate the soft leather and the tobacco, I don't know how boronia,davana and peat smell like, whatever the effect does? to me smells like beer malt, strong, dark and sexy, no BS...

It is one of the whiskiest fragrance Ive ever smelled. You get this whifs when you open and sniff bottle of scotch. Great one !

Selling my bottle. Few sprays missing. Full presentation, UK shipping

Damn, I've never smelled anything like this. The opening smells EXACTLY like a bottle of whiskey, as if someone poured whiskey on your face. The first 15 minutes are alcohol scent heavy, but after 30 minutes to an hour, the middle notes are kicking in, strong, burned tobacco mixed with sugar, not as smooth and creamy as Mancera's Red Tobacco, though, but manageable. After an hour, the vanilla, oud, and musk kicked in, giving somewhat of a pleasant smell—a lighter version of Kilian's Angel's Share. The drydown is amazing. First time I'm in love with a fragrance this whiskey heavy, if you're an alcoholic or your nose is unbothered by strong off-putting scents, then this one is for you. In terms of longevity and sillage, this thing is a solid beastmode. DO NOT BLIND BUY!!! 9/10 from me.
