By the editors · 2 min read**The Game** opens with a sharp, juniper-bright clarity that feels almost gin-like—crisp citrus and aromatic woods colliding in a way that's immediately clean and modern. There's a metallic brightness to it, cool and slightly austere, that sets the tone for everything that follows.
As it settles, iris emerges at the center, powdery but not vintage—more contemporary, almost grey in its restraint. This isn't the buttery carrot-seed richness of classic iris treatments; it's drier, closer to orris concrete mixed with cedar shavings. The composition stays linear, refusing to bloom into warmth or sweetness.
**The Game** reads as deliberate minimalism. It's built for someone who wants presence without complexity, a fragrance that suggests boardrooms and precision rather than intimacy. Masculine in the reductive sense—vetiver, woods, iris—executed with the kind of clean focus that wears well in professional settings but rarely surprises.
