Game of Spades Ruby

I am new to this maker. Never tried any of jo Milano fragrances before this blind buy of game of spade ruby. First spay on to test strip at home I was more than impressed with its powerful opening notes(in a good way). I just recovered from a sense lose flu so I haven't been able to smell anything completely, every fragrances I have i tried to smell seemed muffled/faded. But this first spary was so clean and addictive I was not expecting that at all. And I kept the testing strip to see the dry down. I experienced that this one has a longer top notes time than average, it says unisex and I totally agree. I am giving this to a male friend who never had it either but I am confident that he would like this one that's how much I am happy with it. Its not expensive compared to the top sellers (creed,tom ford,mfk,etc). Its a great one to have without have to think about it for a minute of the cost. Definitely no headache with this new found favorite of mine.

Clean, simple rose. Fully unisex. Great for layering.

Good lord, normally I’m always happy with my Jo Milano GoS frags, but this is one of the worst smelling fragrances in my entire collection. I mean, this was definitely not a safe blind buy for me. All I smell is a strong headache inducing scent of rose & rubbing alcohol. And when I say strong, I mean STRONG! It smells more like a household cleaner than a fragrance. Just an absolute assault to your nostrils, this one gets 0/10.
