If the modern man is supposed to smell like this, then I’d rather remain a musty relic!
Right from the test strip, the stuff didn't blow me away. But recently, a totally enthusiastic "perfume saleswoman" practically shoved a sample of this "new product" along with a shower gel sample at me. Resistance was futile.
Now I had the time to test it and I am appalled!! No development on my skin whatsoever! Just a mix of citrus and spicy notes! You can sense juniper, and I certainly don’t find any wood here! All of this is accompanied by a fresh, sweetish, and disgustingly synthetic base note that makes even me, a lover of "blockbusters," see Boss Bottled as a masterpiece of perfumery.
I can't imagine that a man with this scent appears attractive, mysterious, and slightly daring or risk-friendly. But maybe at the age of 40, I understand these qualities differently than the trendy marketing strategists at Davidoff. Why then choose the name "The Game"? They really couldn't have come up with anything more inappropriate. Nothing is being risked here! The fragrance is so one-dimensional and boring that it actually hurts.
By the way, the bottle feels better and heavier in hand than it looks. That's something.
This synthetic, sweet base note is also found in Rouge by Dita von Teese and My Insolence by Guerlain. Fizzy powder. Those two fragrances came to mind when I tested The Game.
