Jovoy Paris Les Jeux sont Faits is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Amélie Bourgeois. Les Jeux sont Faits opens with Angelica, Petitgrain, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Gin, Cumin, Tobacco, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Jovoy Paris's Les Jeux sont Faits carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is pure opinion, mate. It evokes strong reactions, from 'masterpiece' to 'rancid curry'. If you're after a bold, boozy tobacco with a seriously grown-up vibe, and you’re fine with a hefty dose of cumin, this could be your unique signature. Just don't say we didn't warn you about the marmite factor.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its strong, boozy, and tobacco-heavy character, combined with a noticeable sillage and decent longevity, makes it too assertive for office wear. However, these same qualities lend themselves perfectly to evening occasions like dates or formal gatherings, especially in colder weather. It’s definitely not one for the gym.

About

Les Jeux sont Faits opens with a bracing herbal and dried fruit sharpness, quickly ushering in a robust and boozy heart of rum and gin, spiced up with a prominent cumin note and rich tobacco. As it settles, a warm, woody embrace emerges from labdanum, sandalwood, and patchouli, softened by a hint of vanilla. It’s a complex, deep, and unapologetically masculine scent, a smoky, boozy amber with a dry, almost ashy undertone.
