Wear feedback is mixed, but the written reviews show that game lover can project strongly. Some voters place longevity around moderate, while others call it long lasting, weak, or very weak. In real comments, it can feel extremely loud and persistent, so a light hand is the safer choice, especially indoors or in shared spaces.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
game lover is a dark fruity gourmand built around chocolate and black currant, with berry liqueur, jam, nutmeg, dried fruit, woods, musk, patchouli, and a powdery floral softness. The unusual part is the green currant leaf or cool herbal facet some reviewers notice after the opening, which keeps it from becoming a simple dessert scent.
Main Accords
14 MAPPEDThe fruity accord feels dark and tart rather than sparkling, closer to black currant jam or berry liqueur. Chocolate gives the perfume its gourmand weight, while warm spice and nutmeg add heat. Woods, patchouli, and musk make the base firmer and more adult, and the powdery floral side smooths the edges without turning it into a floral fragrance.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“game lover MAYME? Review”
game lover by MAYME? is not a polite chocolate fragrance. It opens in a darker gourmand direction, with chocolate, black currant, and the impression of berry liqueur or jam. The house note description quoted by a reviewer, dark chocolate filled with berry liquor, nutmeg, light-hearted flirtation, and dried fruits, fits the way people talk about it in wear.
The first impression can be delicious, especially if you enjoy tart fruit with chocolate. One wearer describes chocolate and blackcurrant jam over woodiness. Another picks up very tasty chocolate and black currant liqueur with nutty tones. This is the part that will attract gourmand lovers first, because it has enough richness to feel edible without being only vanilla sugar.
What makes game lover more divisive is the green and woody turn. A reviewer who expected a sweeter gourmand noticed fresh herbaceous tones about five minutes after application, then dark chocolate with currant leaf and later a cool mint-like nuance. That gives the perfume a more unconventional shape. It moves between sweet, woody-spicy, and cool-grassy rather than staying in a creamy dessert lane.
The floral and powdery materials seem to soften the structure rather than dominate it. Magnolia, jasmine, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, cedar, and patchouli are listed among the notes, and the accord profile supports a fruity, floral, chocolate, warm spicy, woody, powdery scent. In practice, the floral side reads more like texture around the gourmand core than a classic bouquet.
Performance needs caution. The voting data does not point in one clean direction, with responses spread from weak to long lasting, but the written reviews include strong warnings. One wearer found it extremely loud and persistent, with two sprays drawing attention in transport and at work. Another says it filled space within a radius of about three meters, while still not feeling intrusive to them. This suggests skin, setting, and dosage matter a lot.
game lover is officially a fragrance for women and men, and the gender feedback leans between unisex and slightly more feminine, but the written reviews bring up a masculine impression more than once. The dark chocolate, woods, spice, and sharp edge can make it feel better suited to someone comfortable with assertive gourmand perfumes rather than soft, fluffy sweetness.
The best audience is a wearer who wants chocolate with character: tart black currant, nutmeg, patchouli woods, musk, and a strange green chill underneath. It is likely strongest in fall and winter, and it deserves a sample before a bottle. If you want a cozy chocolate vanilla, this may be too angular. If you want a darker gourmand that does not smell like everything else, game lover has a clear point of view.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREThere is not enough supplied evidence to name a reliable dupe. The safer comparison is by style: look at dark chocolate gourmands, black currant fragrances, and woody-spicy sweet perfumes rather than assuming it copies a specific scent. If you want something smoother, choose a softer chocolate vanilla. If you want more bite, game lover’s currant leaf and woody spice are the reason to sample it.
