El Ganso After Game is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2019, created by Sidonie Lancesseur. After Game opens with Mandarin, Ginger, and Basil, settles into a heart of Petitgrain, Mint, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Vetiver. El Ganso's After Game carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag. Some reckon it's a solid, natural-smelling freshie and a great budget-friendly alternative to Dior Homme Cologne, but others think it disappears faster than a free pint at last call. Try before you buy, mate.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, the gym, or office environments where you don't want to overpower. However, its perceived moderate-to-poor performance means it might not hold up for formal events or longer dates.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

After Game kicks off with a zesty wallop of mandarin and ginger, sharpened by a hint of aromatic basil. As it settles, you'll pick up on the green, almost leafy notes of petitgrain and mint, blended with a comforting whisper of tea. The dry-down brings in earthy vetiver and a clean, subtle musk, grounding the initial freshness with a woody warmth.
