Inspired by Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill.
Description
Game of Spades Bonus is a unisex Parfum from Jo Milano Paris built around citron, mint, orange, lemon, blackcurrant and coriander over apricot, basil, carrot seeds and May rose before fig, dates and ambrette form the base. It is widely recognized as Jo Milano's interpretation of Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill, translating that green fruity citrus DNA into the Game of Spades collection. Product Overview Bonus is one of the more complex fresh releases in Game of Spades. Jo Milano sells it in 100ml, 30ml and 10ml formats and also pairs it with Full House in the brand's official Exclusive Collection gift set. The concept balances fresh citrus, green herbs, fruit and soft musky warmth rather than relying on the heavier amber style associated with many clone house releases. Scent Profile Citron, orange and lemon give the opening a bright citrus rush while mint adds coolness and coriander adds spice. Blackcurrant gives the fruit a darker edge. Apricot and May rose soften the heart, while basil and carrot seed introduce the green earthy character that makes the scent more distinctive. Fig, dates and ambrette create a smooth fruity musky drydown. Technical Structure and Development The fragrance begins bright, minty and citrus heavy, moves into a greener and more textured fruit heart, then becomes softer through fig, dates and ambrette. The herbal notes are important because they stop Bonus from reading as a generic citrus freshie. Performance Community reports are mixed. Some reviewers get around six hours with moderate projection and praise the similarity to Pacific Chill, while others report much shorter skin longevity. The Atlas position is moderate performance with strong scent accuracy rather than guaranteed all day projection. Wear Scenarios • Spring and summer daytime wear • Holidays and outdoor social settings • Gym to casual wear • Fresh green fruity fragrance wardrobes Scent Family Positioning Bonus sits in the fruity citrus aromatic lane. Key accords are citrus, mint, green, fruity, fresh spicy, herbal, fig and musky. Inspired By and Style Comparisons Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill is the direct community reference. Multiple reviewers describe Bonus as extremely close to the original, particularly through the citrus, mint, blackcurrant and green fruit structure, although some find the Jo Milano version drier and less juicy. Flankers and Variations Bonus is part of the Game of Spades family and is officially bundled with Full House in Jo Milano's Exclusive Collection gift set. It also sits alongside Double Bonus, although the two are separate scent profiles rather than concentration flankers. Market and Community Reception Jo Milano currently lists the 100ml bottle at $220. Independent community reviews strongly praise the Pacific Chill resemblance, including direct side by side comparisons, but performance receives more divided feedback. That makes Bonus especially relevant to buyers prioritising scent profile and luxury style over maximum projection.

What does EDP mean?

Most Middle Eastern clone brands release their fragrances as EDP, which is a significant reason they tend to outperform designer equivalents in longevity and projection at a lower price point.

It lasts the longest, projects most richly, and develops the most complex dry-down. Bujairami releases all its fragrances as extraits, which is a significant part of why the brand has developed such a strong reputation for performance.
What is maceration and should I let my new fragrance macerate?
Maceration is the process of fragrance molecules fully integrating and settling after production. A newly bottled fragrance can smell sharp, synthetic, or unbalanced because the individual ingredients have not yet harmonised. Leaving a bottle to settle for two to four weeks is standard practice in the fragrance community. Remove the cap and let the bottle breathe overnight to accelerate the process. Most heavy Middle Eastern releases benefit significantly from maceration.
What is a blind buy in the fragrance community?
A blind buy is purchasing a fragrance without having smelled it first, based on notes, reviews, community consensus, and comparisons to fragrances you already know. The Atlas compare tool, scent accuracy scores, and community reviews are specifically designed to reduce the risk of a disappointing blind buy by giving you data before you spend money.
