By the editors · 2 min readLes Jeux sont Faits opens with little ceremony — cumin arrives immediately, dry and slightly skin-warm, before tobacco settles in alongside it. The pairing is deliberate rather than dramatic, suggesting worn leather and cool evenings rather than any obvious sweetness.
As the base asserts itself, labdanum and sandalwood deepen the composition without softening it much. Patchouli adds a faint earthiness, while vanilla stays restrained, functioning more as a bridge than a destination.
The overall character is smoky and resinous with persistent tobacco at its core. This reads as a cool-weather fragrance built for evening or unhurried indoor settings — spare, a little austere, and better suited to proximity than projection.
