Les Jeux Sont Faits Eau de Parfum 100 ml (Unisex)

Les Jeux Sont Faits is composed of heavy notes of gin and tobacco leaf in this fragrance are reminiscent of a vintage cigar lounge serving gin martinis. English gin clinking in a tumbler with ice that is aromatic, fresh and cold is evoked by the astringent herb angelica as the Parfum's first notes. Its juniper-like sharpness gives way to accords that recall the woodwork, leather chairs and gaming men in these clandestine gambling clubs. To offset these olfactory signifiers of masculinity is a warm and fruity accord rounded off by vanilla and labdanum, which also recalls old Cuban rums.

Jovoy is the most glorious example of a phoenix perfume house restored way beyond its former 1920s glory As stories go, it is pretty romantic. Parisian perfumer Blanche Arvoy first created the house in 1923 right in the middle of the Roaring Twenties selling finger-on-the-pulse fashionable perfumes. Her shop on Rue de la Paix quickly became a destination for perfume lovers. This beautiful line faced the axe with the advent World War II but was luckily resurrected in 2006 by Francois H nin with a new range of Eau de Parfums and the largest independent store of artistic perfumery in Paris located near Place Vendome.
