Mint, vanilla and amber notes with a citrus twist. Inspired by Lafayette and reminiscent of Layton in its minty facet. Over 90% similar to Lafayette. A masculine scent, ideal for men over 30.
A beautiful fragrance; I do not know why, but its notes remind me greatly of Versace’s Dreamer, so if you like that, you will love Wildcard. Very delicious and versatile. Highly recommended at 100%.
A deliciously rich fragrance for any occasion, though given the variety in my collection I only wear it when dressing formally. I can distinctly detect the Carlisle-style apple note. Excellent scent, longevity and projection. For the price, it’s an absolute scandal.
Rich and versatile, although I don’t know the Bond No. 9 perfume, but upon smelling it for the first time I felt I already knew that scent.
I haven’t tried the Bond version, but it reminds me of other fragrances, especially Nikos. It’s a ‘classic’ modernised scent, moving away from today’s monotonous trends. To put it plainly: a solid fragrance with character, masculine and with an unmistakable nineties vibe that evokes scents like Nikos and The Dreamer. I suspect the Bond version took inspiration from this accord. Ideal for those who want to stand out without following passing fads, projecting a masculine, serious and seductive image. When to wear it? Whenever you like. It doesn’t clash in any context. Today’s marketing insists you need a different perfume for every occasion, but the truth is a well-chosen one can accompany you at any moment.
A very good perfume. You can tell the quality of the ingredients. Vanilla and apple predominate. Bottle and atomiser are excellent. It is not a beast; it is a rich scent that accompanies and pleases, though it does not draw too much attention, as when I wear it myself. Scent: 9/10, Longevity: 6.5/10.
A perfume I loved, bought blind by luck (there is nowhere to test this brand here). It opens much fresher than expected, then turns vanilla and slightly metallic. A total men’s fragrance and one of my favourites, but I had to sell it due to longevity. Projection is nuclear for the first hour and a half, then drops significantly. I let it air for two months and it remains the same: it barely lasts more than 5 hours. Same with ‘Full House’ (a dupe for LV Imagination), which lasts a maximum of 3 hours. What a pity with Wildcard as it is attractively irresistible and supremely masculine. If longevity does not matter to you, it is an excellent purchase. Do not be swayed by social media videos swearing by 8+ hours; that is not real. Personally, I will seek another option with the same DNA because I fell in love. Scent: 10/10, Projection: 10/10 for the first two hours, 3/10 afterwards. Longevity: 2/10.
It is an exquisite fragrance, but I must recommend something cheaper: the Onix version from the house Bharara. They are identical, but the latter could even be more potent.
Smells like an elegant, wealthy man (Old Money) without any fuss. Simply too rich and a safe bet. There is no way anyone could dislike it, and every woman will tell you that you smell absolutely top-tier.
It seems common but stands out and is noticeable. It’s super versatile and easy to like; I sense something similar to the perfume my Colloky son used as a child, but it contains ambroxan which makes it more vibrant. I don’t have the Bond nº 9 Lafayete Street, but I do have the Bharara Onyx and I feel this one has more vanilla; the ambroxan is strong and can become annoying. The Wild Card from Game of Spades feels better balanced. I like the sweet tone of the Onyx but prefer Wildcard from JO Milano for quality.
The Allure Homme Original was my father’s signature perfume when I was small; it shaped my idea of a personal scent: sweet but not cloying, masculine but not aggressive, with fresh citrus touches without being sharp. Trying it on a decant ticked every box I was looking for; it’s simply perfect. Don’t let yourself be misled by reviewers using convoluted words like ‘beastmode’ or ‘nuclear’. It’s nothing like that; it’s a simple scent that is noticeable, liked by many, and receives genuine compliments only from those in your bubble.
What a rich perfume CTM. The glory. I feel like a millionaire when I wear it. The balanced notes between citrus and floral are wonderful, finishing with wood and a subtle sweetness. It’s more masculine than feminine. Unisex? It could be, but the dry down is totally masculine.
It’s okay, a decent perfume, although for the hype it has, it’s hyper-mega overrated.
The scent is very pleasant and generates compliments. The performance is acceptable, don’t expect beast mode; the projection is moderate. I keep a decant to reapply as I please after 5 or 6 hours. I wear it on ‘Casual Friday’ and informal outings. There’s no problem wearing it in any season. At Tiendamia it cost 249 soles. Special mention to the velvet packaging, heavy bottle, and shiny metal cap.
Rich perfume, yes, but it’s not the big deal. It feels synthetic, but it’s fine for daily use. Nothing offensive, versatile, but I doubt it will shine at night; it’s sweetly timid and smells clean (like YSL MYSLF but less loud). For the price, it’s okay; I’ll wait for the oxygen to improve the performance because currently it projects for 30 minutes and clings to the skin for 4 hours. On clothes, it leaves a pleasant and warm scent. The packaging is EXCELLENT, it’s a joy to open that box without plastic.
FRAGANTICA PLEASE ADD THE OTHER GAME OF SPADES RAPIDLY
I bought it blind because the notes matched other fragrances I like, and it did. I really liked it. It has something similar to Sculture but lasts longer and is of better quality. It’s not heavy or annoying, conveys cleanliness, and is very easy to wear. The longevity and projection are decent; so far, it meets my expectations.
If you’re looking for something for any occasion, this is it. It smells like men’s deodorant with a hint of green apple; it’s not unique, but everyone loves it. It’s a medium strength, I’ve received plenty of compliments, and the pressurised atomiser works brilliantly.
Incredible, I love it. It opens fresh and floral, then becomes elegant and formal. I’ve been told many nice things already and it could easily be my signature. The atomiser is a marvel and I feel amazing wearing it. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it.
The love of my life, it’s the most addictive perfume I’ve truly smelled. I love it; I got it for 1,480 Mexican pesos or approximately $75 USD, and I feel it should cost more for its quality and scent. The smell is addictive to my taste, and friends are fascinated by it. Super versatile, super charming. From how addictive the scent is to me, I use it as a signature fragrance. I detect a lot of florals and coriander, then the apple along with the ambroxan which I don’t know how to describe but I feel it, and the vanilla which, instead of stealing the show, complements everything to elevate it. The dry down is super grey amber and tonka bean, but it accompanies it throughout. The opening is super rich. I’m sorry if I’m being overly complimentary with this fragrance, but I can’t express how rich it smells to me. I don’t like saying ‘buy this perfume, you’ll like it,’ but this one does; this one deserves to be heard and tried. Nobody talks about this fragrance as much as they should, but I wish it were more recognised because it deserves it. Scent 10 out of 10, longevity 10 out of 10, smell 10 out of 10, bottle 100 out of 10 (very good quality, the cap is heavy and that feels like a plus, and generally the whole bottle and box with the suede pouch). Super versatile, heat and even cold, party or gathering, casual or suit. The truth is, I feel it’s super versatile.
I agree with a comment saying: ‘It’s the first perfume that scares me’. It smells very dark; I don’t know if it resembles Lafayette as I haven’t tried it, but I can speak of it. The opening is very amber and spicy, giving the sensation of cooking with many spices and lots of pepper. Very dark, reminiscent of Asad, though it doesn’t smell like Asad; it’s that feeling of smelling many things at once, making it very heavy, a barrier between you and the other person. Over time, it mutates, reducing the spiciness and becoming more subtle without losing intensity. The apple takes centre stage and reminds me a bit of PDM’s Layton, but without the mentholated part. It no longer cloy; rather, it smells lovely, a pity it doesn’t feel as rich on my skin as on the paper. I do not recommend buying it blindly due to the hype; you can be completely disappointed. Update: I tried Lafayette, and although they walk the same path, to my nose they are 80% similar. That remaining 20% is the quality that makes the perfume less invasive and overwhelming than Wildcard. Lafayette feels elegant and disruptive but not annoying. Wildcard is annoying; it comes out with totally unnecessary steroids. In summary, I do not recommend Wildcard, whereas I do recommend Lafayette.
Do you know when a fragrance reminds you of an old perfume from your dad but you have no idea which one it is? This happens to me with Wildcard. The citrus notes, the florals, and the ambroxan give a vibe of a man with money and class. I don’t feel it’s a ‘hyper-different’ scent, but it’s a gem for those of us starting out. Versatile, mysterious, 100% masculine, sexy, and above all, it doesn’t fatigue in a country like the D.R. Ideal for party nights; some say it’s good for daily wear due to that clean, ‘deodorant-like’ profile, but not in my opinion… I like it (so far) for special occasions; it doesn’t disappoint and it’s a compliment bomb. UPDATE (4th use): The truth is, this didn’t quite fit for me entirely; perhaps it’s not my type, and besides, Royal remains my favourite. But after about four uses spaced over weeks, today was the day this gem completely captivated me. I looked at it almost abandoned and decided to give it another chance, and it was the best thing I did. Immediately, I felt those notable florals from the start and that amber present from minute one. But it didn’t bother me, it didn’t harass me; it was feeling a totally new fragrance that I had already ‘tried’ and didn’t fit at all. A few minutes later, it was no longer the amber, but that special vanilla… WOW, here I started to truly love the perfume, because it reminded me of those little ‘sighs’ I used to buy as a child at the corner store; that vanilla never fails… give it time and you’ll surely fall in love. Of course, now this scent and I are friends, but my favourite remains, until now, Royal, which I finished in just a few weeks…
This DNA was born in 1995 under the master Michel Almairac and was captured in his masterpiece Sculpture by Nikkos. This air from the 90s, surrounding pieces like Sculpture or Minotaure, is excellently replicated by Lafayette from Bond No. 9, scoring a brilliant goal by improving performance. A brutal hit of delightful citrus and floral bursts. Wildcard is surely the heir to this great composition for any occasion.
Smells like the mafia, a drug lord boss, a luxurious casino, a highway at night. It’s the first perfume that scares me.
The olfactory pyramid promised one thing, but in reality, it’s quite different. Floral notes and dark green apple dominate for most of the time. To be honest, it smells like a green bathroom air freshener, the kind you spray. I’m sorry to disappoint those hoping for it, but for me, it’s not worth it. Don’t let the hype get to you. The positive is the luxury packaging: a beautiful bottle, a heavy cap, and one of the best sprays I’ve seen (it mists beautifully). P.S. My girlfriend liked it, but I didn’t. With over 150 fragrances in my collection, I’ll try to sell it.
I just want to know where to buy it online in Spain safely and without scams… I can’t find any reliable store.
The opening can be a bit sharp and disorienting at first. But once it dries down, that’s where the magic happens: a creamy chypre scent with a touch of vanilla. It’s long-lasting, delivers on its promise, and I see it as very versatile.
Smells identical to Lafayette Street by Bond No. 9. Given the scandal surrounding that brand and the fact that this clone is superior, I recommend buying this instead of the original: it’s cheaper and you aren’t supporting an abusive company. Total win and it smells lovely. By the way, if you’re looking for a good deodorant, Stefano Royal also mimics this scent; it’s a great complement.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days with temperatures of 34 degrees, and it smells super fresh; I love it. To me, it smells strongly of citronella. The problem is longevity: on the skin, it doesn’t last more than three hours (one sprays projecting), but on clothes, it performs for six or eight hours without issue. My rating: Scent 10, Projection 5, Longevity 3, Compliments 0, Versatility 7. It is not for everyone, but I am taking it.
It’s a hit, a rich and interesting fragrance. It serves for any season and is a wildcard for any occasion, casual or formal. It is a dupe of Lafayette Street No. 9 with top quality in every aspect. I bought it in a SET of 2 along with Full House by Game of Spades Jo Milano, both 100ml EDP for 120 dollars.
Smells like car air conditioning and fades away instantly. They say it’s the best in the brand, but I still can’t be convinced.
The scent is brutal, but projection and longevity are a disaster so far. I have already tested it in several places and the result is identical. Hopefully, it improves with time.
I look at the clock at six in the evening. The date is later, but the nerves have already set in. The body understands before the mind: restless hands, measured breathing. Five months of being single is an empty room that fills with echo again when you decide to go out. I remember that adventure with a work colleague: brief, confusing, inevitable. She didn’t know what she wanted; I did, but that has never been a guarantee. I wonder if a perfume helps to conquer. It’s not the most important thing, but it softens the frame. It doesn’t open doors, but it whispers that you care how you exist in space. The budget doesn’t stretch to Bond No. 9, but it does cover Jo Milano’s Game of Spades Wildcard. On another point of the continuum, they smell the same. Price differences are human; scent doesn’t understand them. A YouTuber says it smells like car air freshener. I hear it and ignore it. So much assumed knowledge yet they fail to perceive the obvious: this fragrance is a masterpiece because it is precise. I move through time, walk along the tube and the scent appears again. I stop without stopping. Is it an air freshener or someone using Wildcard? The doubt lasts half a second and then ceases to matter. It smells good. The universe demands no further explanation. I return to the now, ready. Jacket on, pulse steady. Then the phone vibrates: ‘I won’t be able to go today, I had a problem at work. Shall we leave it for next week?’. I read the message, feel a minimal disappointment, almost protocol-like, and beneath it a more honest relief. I really didn’t want to go today. Perhaps I want to continue enjoying my single life. Maybe I’ll never meet her. Time expands, I lie back in bed, everything is on pause and yet everything is still happening. I breathe. The perfume remains. How delicious Wildcard smells.
I look in the mirror at six. The date is later, but the nerves are already here, in the body before the mind: restless hands, controlled breathing. I haven’t eaten all day. Five months single are not just time; they are an empty room that fills with echo again when you decide to go out once more. I remember that brief and confusing adventure with a work colleague; she didn’t know what she wanted, I did, but that has never been a guarantee. I wonder if a perfume helps to conquer a woman. The answer exists in several times at once. It is not the most important thing, never has been, but it helps. It does not open doors, but softens the frame; it does not say who you are, but whispers that you care how you exist in space. The budget does not reach for Bond No. 9; that is an absolute fact, but it does for Game of Spades Wildcard by Jo Milano. At another point on the continuum, they smell the same. Price differences are human; the aroma does not understand them. A YouTuber says it smells like car air freshener; I hear it and ignore it. So much supposed knowledge and words, yet it fails to perceive the obvious: this perfume is a masterpiece. Not because it is complex, but because it is precise. Like a simple truth that needs no defence. I move through time, walking down the tube, the air moves and the scent reappears. I stop without stopping. Is it an ambient air freshener or someone using Wildcard? The doubt lasts half a second and then ceases to matter. Anyway, it smells good. The universe demands no further explanation. I return to the now; I am ready, jacket on, pulse firm, about to head out to the encounter I have already lived in my head. Then the phone vibrates: I won’t be able to go today, I had a problem at work. Shall we leave it for next week? I read the message, feeling a minimal, almost protocol-like disappointment, and underneath a more honest relief. I really didn’t want to go today. Perhaps I want to continue enjoying my singlehood. Maybe I will never meet up with her. Time expands; I lie back in bed, everything is on pause, yet everything continues to happen. I breathe the perfume; it is still there. How delicious Wildcard smells.
One must say that liking a perfume is highly subjective; what one loves, another may not suit, and for you it could be the definitive fragrance. I was smitten with it; it is super versatile and I use it for everything. So far, it is the most I’ve been complimented on. Longevity depends on pH; it lasts me about 7 or 8 hours, although initially it lasted a maximum of 5 hours with little projection, but after airing it out, it improved significantly. What I like most is the bottle and box design; the Game of Spades presentations are just beautiful. It smells of apple, floral, and ambroxan; it smells delicious.
Rich perfume, but there are better and cheaper options like Bharara Onyx and Street Luxe. Why are they better? Because they are more economical and last as long as this one, which, for a price of 70 euros, lasts and projects very little.
This perfume was strange for me. At first, it was floral mixed with something I couldn’t explain, yet rich. The dry-down smells odd to others; I told a friend to give it a chance as it is very floral and seems synthetic (I don’t mind), but with time and maturity, my goodness, how rich and attractive it becomes. It is versatile, suitable for day, work, or party, all year round. It is worth it, but application depends on the occasion; don’t use seven sprays to go to a closed classroom, haha, but it is very rich for a night out. NOT FOR EVERYONE. Smell it first; surely not everyone will like it, even if you see 20 reviews or TikTok videos saying it is AMAZING. For me, it is, but smell it.
Exquisite aroma that you never get tired of smelling. I’ve been told Bharara Onyx is superior and maintains the DNA better; we shall see if that’s true.
The opening smells odd. They claim floral and bergamot, but I sense something earthy and masculine. Then the dry-down… ugh, vanilla and apple richer than I’ve ever tasted, and it lasts quite a while. Try it first because of that floral opening.
Bought it due to the hype and was let down. It smells neither elegant nor commanding; it’s a mixed bag. At a dinner, my girlfriend got into the car, and when I entered, she said it smelled like car air freshener because I’d washed it that afternoon. She was right; it does.
