The Brilliant Game

by Jacques Huclier

Davidoff The Brilliant Game is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2014, created by Jacques Huclier. The Brilliant Game opens with Clary Sage, Artemisia, Lemon, and Red Berries, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Caramel, Tonka Bean, Coumarin, and Hay. Davidoff's The Brilliant Game carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a budget boozy-sweet affair for those who like a familiar scent profile but don't want to break the bank. It's affordable, generally pleasing, but don't expect groundbreaking performance. Many will like it, but few will be truly wowed.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet and boozy nature, combined with moderate projection and longevity, makes it best suited for dates and casual evening wear. It's generally too playful and strong for a typical office environment and lacks the gravitas for formal events or the freshness for sport.

About

The Brilliant Game kicks off with a spirited, boozy red berry and bitter orange cocktail, livened by a touch of clary sage and lemon. It settles quickly into a warm, inviting heart of cedar and orange blossom, soon joined by a generous helping of caramel. The dry down is all about sweet warmth - a creamy tonka bean, infused with hints of earthy hay and deep caramel, creating a comforting, slightly gourmand finish.
