The Game

I am having a slightly different experience. Opens with all gin and berry for me which gives an alternative take on an aquatic. The floral and woodsy notes serve to anchor it down and give it depth. This reminds me of what armani code smells like on my friend (but not on me). I prefer it a lot more than code which i gave away. My first wear left me wanting more. My wife unfortunately had only smelled the dry down and asked if the intention was to smell like clean laundry. On that note I gave away individual too but this one does the laundry without all the synthetic might of mont blanc. My bias for Davidoff is that they always get me compliments and in some cases more. If you have dark toned skin, try hot water in fall. Sometimes compliments aren't enough though and I've given away silver shadow, cw deep, adventurer, champion. This I'll wear for me. It's like they took champion and added armani code. Try in fall, it's a great fall fresh scent. Worn multiple times and the scent veers away from champion quite dramatically. It now reminds me of a more balanced bvlgari man which i found too stand offish and cold

I Used to wear This, I Bought 1 60 Ml Bottle, at the time i was wearing this it did smell good but as time went by i started nt to enjoy the scent i could'nt even finish the bottle i js gave it to my older brother to finish it up, Two weeks later i was at the club with some friends and they came along with other guys i did'nt know as well and this other guy was wearing davidoff the game, i jus smelled him immediately and detected it, and asked him" dude are you wearing Davidoff The game? and he said oh yea i am, and asked how do I know it? told him used to wear it. So then we were dancing in the club and this dude starts dancing too and this Davidoff Smell starts to fill the dance floor and i'm smelling it all over and it starts to irritate me, i couldnt handle it anymore and just went straight to the private room and vomited, i could'nt handle the scent and I dont think I will ever handle it anymore, this scent is annoying and it will annoy you especially when ur drunk or ur drinking alcohol.

I absolutely love this one! I have been on the fence about this one for a while now. I have seen tons of mixed reviews and videos and just decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't be more pleased with this. It is an absolute beautiful scent profile. It may not last super long but i get a good 6 hours+ off of it but I will catch whiffs throughout the day. If you don't like iris then you wouldn't like this one. This is a great intro to iris fragrance, similar to how CK One Shock is to tobacco. The spritz of the juniper berries and gin off the top go so perfectly well with the iris and woods in the mid and the ebony wood base. Overall, if your an iris fragrance person i recommend. Great cheapie, inoffensive and very versatile. I was fortunate enough to happen upon it on clearance at my local TJ Maxx for $10.

My brother got this for me as a gift! I asked for something "fancy and sophisticated that I can wear to a date/theather/cinema" and this delivers. It smells expensive! They might've cheaped out on the bottle design (only the cap looks like poker chips now), but I bet a sharply dressed big winner would smell like this for sure. And it has iris! Ding ding ding! Great opening, very much smells like a sweetened gin and tonic. The juniper and iris lingers for a little while. Stays fresh for a relatively average/normal amount of time before going down to the woody notes as it dries down. Love it! Will use this when going out, boys, ladies, and enbies - beware of the high roller!

The sweet woody accord that is prominent during the dry down is actually very close the Burberry Hero EDP, just here there is more camphory freshness from (more) iris (Hero EDP doesn't list iris as a note but does lost alpha methyl ionone in the ingredients so it has some iris effect at minimum), and a bit of juniper berry. It's like Hero EDP lightened up and with a splash of Reflection man. Not overtly Christmasy like Burberry London or Noel au Balcon, but the berry effect is slightly holly-esque and coupled with the pine prominent woods and the camphory-cool iris, it really does feel right at home on a blustery winter day.
