Jacques Huclier crafted The Brilliant Game for Davidoff in 2014, offering a composition that balances sweet and aromatic elements with citrus and woody tones. This fragrance opens with the bold intensity of Campari and Vermouth, red berries, and bitter orange, creating an intriguing contrast between sweetness and bitterness. At its heart, clary sage and orange blossom add depth and warmth, while cedar and tonka bean ground the composition in a rich, enveloping base. The Brilliant Game is a sophisticated blend that evokes both playfulness and elegance.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for maximum impact. The Campari and Vermouth opening is strong but fades within an hour, so let it settle before heading out. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it perfect for daytime engagements.

The story behind the bottle.
The moment when an afternoon meeting turns into a spontaneous game of tennis, where the crispness of citrus notes meets the richness of caramel and vanilla.
