New fragrance from Davidoff: The Game

[furrypine]

Launching soon: The Game from Davidoff. A woody aromatic signed by nose Bernard Ellena of Symrise.



Notes: Juniper berry, Gin Fizz accord, iris, precious woods, ebony.


The poker chips-inspired bottle is a nice touch.



The press release even includes a little poem:

Never underestimate the stakes.
Always play fair.
Master the rules and leave nothing to chance.
Because life is a game and the winner takes it all.

Well the bottle looks cool, maybe a bit cheesy like something you would buy in a Vegas gift shop. I like it though and the gin/juniper notes sound nice. I am a martini fan, so I could see spraying this on and hitting the casinos in the middle of the night!

Time to play the game...

Davidoff seem to be focusing on their bottles (Champion was a dun-bell) rather than the juice, but if it works for them then great.

The game's bottle is a nice idea, although a touch cheesy, but if the juice is good who cares right?

Thanks for the info. Will be looking out for it.

The notes seems promising and the bottle looks cool.

I hope Davidoff is going to nail it again like what they did wonderfully on Zino.

[silentrich]

Like the notes and love the bottle.

I find the bottle childish.

They should get Triple H for the commercial.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of him when I saw the title.

I'm really like... lol when look at the bottle. I'll buy the game for the bottle alone! and gin notes, I love the smells of Gin but hate to drink it anyway

[andym72]

I didn't think of some wrestler (I had to look him up). I thought of the Queen track "Play The Game". If there is a TV ad campaign, whats the chances that track gets used?

How is Bernard related to Jean-Claude?

How is Bernard related to Jean-Claude?

A brother.

This is now in branches of Boots in the UK.

Juniper Berries, then a undercurrent of powderyness joins in that quickly becomes soapyness before being joined by what I've always associated with dihydromyrcenol. After about an hour the soapyness, or should I say the smell of laundry products becomes pretty much all that is perceivable. This last note is going to be one of those musks they put in Lenor/Downy, but at least its not one of the more nasty smelling ones.

No woods to speak of.

Hmm, sounds like everything I hate! I'll still give it a try.

Wonder when this will make it across the Atlantic.

This seems to be available in fragrancedirect.co.uk. I'm tempted to buy blind.... 40 ml bottle only 24,99 GBP.

I tried it last week. It smells like something you'd hang in the rim of a toilet bowl.
