Not a blind buy
Gambling is a unique take on a night out scent ️
In its core it's a green aromatic but with a dominant alcoholic whiskey note and subtle roasted coffee. The green notes are mainly cypress with some fresh bergamot. Pepper adds another edge

It has that WOW effect but without being easily likeable

In the dry down the woody resinous notes become more dominant, while the sharp green notes leave the scene - definitely making the scent softer and 'easier' over time.
It does not have any real sweetness, but the resinous notes give it a hint of balsamic softness

One of the most interesting notes is Adrenaline. While I have no idea how that hormone smells, I believe it evokes an alertness in this fragrance. It does not make me feel cozy or relaxed - it does the opposite. It wakes me up with the sharp green aromatics. Very very interesting

Performance is good - Sillage is moderate and very close to skin after about 3h, but it lasts pretty long. I got about 7 hours on my skin. Easily working for a night out

The bottle is, as with all THoO scents, absolutely gorgeous

I believe this is a good signature candidate - it is unique and definitely niche. Try before you buy!

Poker Night
The room around you is dark. The only source of light is the old lamp with the rusty lampshade above the table you are sitting at.
The two men at the table look at each other furtively, slowly you fan out the cards in your hand. The hand looks good.
You look around again, sweat dripping from the forehead of the guy on your left. The guy on the right takes a drag on his cigar, also looking tensely at you.
A slight smile twitches across your lips, then you slam the leaf down on the old solid wooden table!
Royal flush!
In horror, the guy on your left knocks over his Ardbeg whisky glass.
The cigar falls out of the right-hand man's mouth and lands with a thud first on the table, then on the floor.
The whisky seeps into the old wooden table, the wood emits a warm smell, the alcohol of the whisky quickly dissipates.

The Gambling has a nice whisky note that quickly fades away, after which warm wood and peat remain.
The fragrance lasts a long time and does not develop, except for the first 10 minutes in which the whisky smell disappears.

Not for everyone, but super nice.

The fragrance delivers what the name promises!
The name and design couldn't fit the fragrance any better! When I smell the fragrance, I smell an old bar with a poker game going on in the corner. In the other corner, someone is sitting with a cigar and a Laphroaig in their glass.

It's all a bit dark but still cozy.

This fragrance delivers what the bottle promises.

A great fragrance! Woody, smoky, a little alcoholic, a little sweet in the background

My scent if I'm ever in Vegas
You definitely have to let it soak in. It smells slightly alcoholic and spicy. The alcohol is mixed with a slightly sweet note that is very similar to whisky. At times, the fragrance also reminds me a lot of the smell of cigars or tobacco.

I wasn't sure about Gambling at first. After a while, however, it develops this alcoholic, sweet note that makes me think of casinos and I really like it. I would wear it in Las Vegas or sometimes for a meal in a restaurant.

I would classify it more as an evening fragrance. I can imagine that it is too smoky for some people. I personally like the smokiness. Gambling gives me an alert feeling when I smell it.

In my opinion, the gambling theme is well taken. For people who are looking for such a fragrance, I can only recommend it.
