The main accords of The Brilliant Game are sweet and aromatic. It opens with Campari and Red Berries, reveals Cedar and Orange Blossom at its heart, and dries down to Tonka Bean and Caramel. It lasts a moderate time and projects moderately; people reach for it in autumn and winter, mostly in the evening.
