Game of Spades Full House by Jo Milano Paris

One of the best fresh fragrances in the mid-range budget, without a doubt. Forget the designer brands: this is sport luxury in a bottle. Its citrus notes don’t scream like so many entry-level perfumes, and you don’t need to pay niche prices to smell this good. Just the right amount of citrus, clean without falling into motel soap or floor cleaner territory, with an elegance that everyone likes. If you’re looking for compliments from women, this is the one. The downside: it doesn’t work the same on all skin types and its versatility has limits. It’s for everyday wear and summer, but within its promises, it delivers beyond measure.

I fell in love at first sniff; it’s like Aqua Dubai or Hawas Kobra but with superior olfactory quality, I’d even dare to say twice or three times more exquisite. I wore it twice on my skin and it was almost an olfactory therapy; I kept smelling my arm every 10 or 15 minutes. If I had other things to pay for, I’d buy it without hesitation, but here in Chile it’s around $90. I’ll definitely buy it for next spring-summer, as we’re just about to enter autumn. In conclusion, it’s a rich, easy-to-wear fragrance suitable for daily use and outings. I’m not sure if it’s for dates because I never have any, but on its own, it’s a 10/10. Try it on your skin first to see how it suits you; I’m sure you’ll love it.

I agree with several reviews. Basically, I’ve never smelled Louis Vuitton Imagination, but it smells like a citrus I couldn’t define, surely the cider as mentioned in the notes. A friend said mint, but nothing like that from my perspective. Why do I say I agree? The perfume has a very rich and fresh scent for everyday wear. But the ‘big problem’ is that it doesn’t last long; it has little projection and sillage. Could you pull compliments? Clearly yes. But if you’re looking for something that lasts and projects wildly, I don’t recommend it. If you only use it for the gym, university, or an afternoon outing, it’s perfect. In my case, it disappointed me a bit because I expected greater longevity, so I see it as more for everyday wear (which is fine), but it could easily last between 6 hours on my skin, although in other reviews I saw it lasts 8 hours for others; that depends on each person’s pH. Rating: 8/10 (note, I give it this only because I see it as a casual daytime perfume).

A very overrated perfume. On blotter, the opening is so intense it smells like freshly mopped floors with cat urine. It lacks harmony and longevity and is utterly nauseating. Definitely only for those who don’t mind wearing strong scents.

A super fresh and clean perfume. Perfect for daytime hours and for the heat. It has good longevity on my skin and a moderate sillage. I’ll definitely keep testing it.

Absolute madness! This is a super rich, clean, and fresh fragrance. I see it as unisex, with black tea, bergamot, and orange notes really standing out. It’s a dupe for LV’s Imagination with excellent quality across the board. I picked it up in a set of two alongside WildCard by Jo Milano, both 100ml EDPs for $120. Rating: 9.8/10.

Smells like lemon soap, very clean. It doesn’t smell bad, but it fatigues me a bit. I came from WildCard with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised, but I tried FullHouse with more hope knowing Jo Milano usually delivers more, and well… meh. PS: I bought the set and the cream didn’t work for me either.

I smelled it with my girlfriend, and do you know what she said about ONE when she smelled it on my skin? ‘Lemon juice with cream sugar’… Haha, and she’s not lying; this is 100% citrus, fresh, and masculine. Literally, you smell like a man fresh out of the shower. At times, it reminded me of those days my mum washed the laundry and everything smelled like detergent; not that it’s bad or annoying, but honestly, it smells clean… and what clean smells like, soap… the soap… we know. It fits perfectly in summer and hot climates like 🇩🇴. It’s clean, slightly sweet, a citrus where, in my opinion, more than the orange, a sweet lemon steals the show. Ginger is noticeable but doesn’t overwhelm. If you want it to last longer on skin, you need to test how it works for you, but you’ll likely need to reapply in 2 hours or use a bit more.

I don’t understand why they are launching more Jo Milano lines if it’s such a good perfume.

Lately, I’ve been looking for daily wear or fresher summer perfumes, so I wanted to try this. Sadly, I was disappointed because I can’t find the charm; I feel it doesn’t smell like clean clothes at all, more like a wet wipe. Some might like it, but I asked for opinions from many people in my close circle and none of them liked it. If you’re looking for a fragrance with high acceptance, I don’t recommend it, especially considering the moderate price.

Lately, I’ve been looking for something fresh for everyday wear or summer, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it; it doesn’t smell like clean laundry but rather like a wet wipe. It didn’t suit me, nor did it appeal to my close circle. If you’re looking for something everyone will like, I wouldn’t recommend it, especially at that price.

I’ve never tried LV’s Imagination, but this smells glorious. It’s fresh, soapy, with an exquisite citrus touch. 10/10!

What a fantastic perfume. It’s the Imagination clone by Louis Vuitton that I like the most, without a doubt. On my skin, it lasts about 8 to 9 hours and leaves a good trail. The price in Spain is high, but I think it’s worth it.

Smells like cider and black tea. It has good trail and projection. I haven’t received many compliments yet, but I understand that Imagination projects a lot and this is practically identical. I loved it, and after Maison’s Megara, these are my two summer favourites.

I haven’t tried LV’s Imagination, so this is for Full House as a fragrance in its own right. It opens with sweet citrus and sparks of ginger, forming a fresh, rich, and purposeful scent. As it dries down, the intensity decreases and the citrus settles with floral notes, giving it a more unisex touch. I don’t detect much black tea or incense, but I do smell the ambroxan which gives a soapy sensation until the end. Projection is decent for 1 to 2 hours, then it becomes shorter until it stays in a personal bubble. Longevity is good; on my skin it lasts about 7 hours (6 plus 1 hour close to the skin). Overall, it’s a good fragrance and the price is fair given the quality. There are cheaper options with better longevity, but choice is subjective; for me, it’s worth it. Final score: 8/10.
