The Game Davidoff for men

Smells like the original Coolwater mixed with Parco Rabanne's One Million.
Rather generic. The typical spicy woody male cologne scent you'd smell in dozens other fragrances at the store.
However, there's also a tinge of fizziness to this scent that makes it a little sparkling. And, it's lacking the cloying sweetness you'd find in One Million.

Verdict: Meh.

I don't understand all the dislikes on this. My boyfriend tried it earlier this week and it was really nice. Second to Adventure IMO, and Adventure is NICE!!
My brother wears One Million and I honestly didn't get any similarities with that. To my nose One Million is all about Cinnamon and Amber, The Game is woody, spicy Iris with a slight hint of fruit.

Trust me on this - the drydown is really alcoholic. It's horrid, like cheap cologne (Lynx cologne).

I sampled this today and totally agree with Endymion's comment that it smells exactly like Cerruti 1881 Black - despite their totally different ingredients! Thus it's no more than a softly woody and spicy, modern, pleasant, but ultimately quite shy and ho-hum fragrance. I must admit though that I do like the look of the novelty bottle, and the whole package seems targeted at those in their 20s. I can't comment decisively on the sillage and longevity, but from my sampling and concurring with the comments below, it's no more than moderate.

from the first sniff it reminds one million....in other words another clone of it....."the game" which will be the successor and best seller beyond one million continues.....if you like a successful perfumes, make it to smell like others....and everybody wants to knock out one million instead of trying to do something unique themselves....

Just purchashed this... I smelt it at the shop and loved it. Only the day after to regret it. Let me first say, I dig this scent. Its spicy, sexy and smart. I also get tbe one million comparison. I currently have one million on one hand and The Game on the other. Add spice and what smells like oranges to One Million and you have this fragrance. Its actually really nice to my nose. Now the problem is with the projection and longevity. On my skin the projection is about 2 inches after 20 minutes.... I may add I sprayed 6 times in the same spot... Longevity. On me, 1 hour.. if that. To test this I sprayed my neck 6 times, arms 3 times and wrists 3 times each. No shit, an hour gone by I asked my partner if she could smell the fragrance on me... guess the answer. No. I could just about pick it up with my nose pressed against my skin. Do not buy this without testing it on your skin. Luckily I only bought the 40ml bottle for fear it would turn out to be useless. This is kind of upsetting to me as I really like the fragrance. But what use is it if people not 2 feet away cant smell it and it vanishes within the hour. Save your money.

this actually smells good n better sillage than the rest of Davidoff. whats with so many dislike on this one eh?

I see the nod towards 1million, but this is more subtle. Game has quite a good tenacity for this type of fragrance and it's quite clever as i totally see what image they are trying to generate: young guy with a new job in his new leather seat car with loose dollars on the dashboard checking out the ladies ...or ...men

it smells so woody with spicy inside,which is very ordinary among the male perfume.what i like most is the slogan"winner takes all" but unfortunately, the perfume doesn't show a lot of the meaning.

Fierce + 1 Million

Smells really cheap.

This one appears like a mixture of two scents, as if they were worn together. One could be a sweet one and the other one a light manly one. For instance, Davidoff's own Adventure mixed with Hot Water. Although this one develops quite nicely after a while, it seems as if Davidoff waste some inspired new names on scents that are just mediocre.

I own this scent, blind bought it after I read the notes, and thought it would be a long lasting iris based scent. And to an extent I was right.
It is iris based throughout the scent, with a hint of berries in the drydown.
In short, this is a quicktime scent, it may as well be an eau de cologne it is that weak !

I applied 5 shots to the neck and chest.
from 0 to 30 mins there is a 6 inch projection. Nice iris intro.

30 mins to an hour, it is already down to a 2 inch projection, berries creeping in; nice smell.

2 hours later and it is gone. Very quick to get off the skin.

If this works well on your skin it could be a very nice scent, but for me it is awful, which makes this a bad blind buy.

If you can test this on your skin before you buy, do, see how it goes, if it stays with you, it warrants a purchase, as it's quite cheap.

too much like 1 million

nevertheless its good

Nice fragrance, much better what the bottle suggest. Anyway it smells almost exactly like Cerruti 1881 Black, try it yourself ;)

P.S.: guest_ is me sorry :b

Just tried it, on paper and on skin. It's opening notes are very similar to Paco Rabane's 1 Million. It has been on my skin for almost an hour, and not it reminds me of a mix between Armani code Ultimate and 212 VIP Men.
Despite this, the perfume is pleasant and for those who are a bit tired of 1 Million's bottle, this is a nice alternative, and most likely finnatially.
I get the gin and juniper notes, lets wait a little longer.

Good fragrance, but has a lot of alternative ones.

Safe scent, nothing particularly orignial but very nice powdery elegant smell. The bottle is beautiful, photos don't make justice.

Oh dear, bottle is horrible, tack, name is just the same as the one a few years ago, smell is like a cheap fiery joop wild mixed with Bengay or deep heat menthol. Perfect buy for all you youngsters as you move from your cans of lynx(axe). Enjoy!

Sounds very different than the norm can't wait to try it love the bottle very unique idea hope it smells good

Hasancutcu:
It will be available this spring, and let me tell you: It is really worth waiting for: Fresh, balmy, woody..
No "citrus" fragrance, there are so many out there, this is something special!!!

Does anyone know where can I buy this ? Thanks in advance.

I remember back in 2008 when One Million came out, everybody was talking about how tacky, bad taste and cheap the bottle was. Then they smelled the juice and the rest is history... top seller around the globe for the last years. I admit it´s tempting to bash out some new fragrance for their bottles or ads (i did it with Versace Eros for example), but the bottom line is that it´s all about the liquid inside, if the juice is great, everybody will forget in a second about how bad the bottle looks!

i like the bottle design but i am not sure from the note

I love all woody-aromatic freg plus the bottle is elegant , we see about smell like mario.biani said b4 !

Tried a pre-sample of this, its really wonderful!
Fresh,sensual , a bit fruity, but very masculine.
Go get it players!!

Hay alguna gente aqui realmente maleducada. Como pueden juzgar algo sin antes probarlo o solo por su apariencia?. Evidentemente son personas que no respetan el arte de la perfumeria. No se que hacen opinando en este sitio.

the longevity is very bad

@krayonkid
I never rate a fragrance until I test it :)
It also annoys me much if someone rates before even smelling ;)
My review is upon the cover of the substance (name, design, marketing etc.).

Absolutely agree with krayonkid.

Guys, if you're going to rate the perfume based on the bottle and presentation, why not wait for the review instead of disliking the fragrance based just on what you see?

So Davidoff is getting on with cheaper and cheaper names...
