GOS - Wildcard vs Mykonos - California Signature (Bond No.9 - Lafayette St inspirations)
I love Bond No. 9 - Lafayette st so I picked up Games of Spades - Wildcard and Mykonos - California Signature. In my opinion, Wildcard is stronger, very masculine and projects more whereas California Signature (weird name in my opinion since it's an inspiration of a NYC scent) is smoother, creamier, less strong and more unisex.
GOS Wildcard:
-in my opinion, it's closer to Bond No.9 Lafayette st. And great value saving you hundreds. It lasts a good six hours for me and protects for 2-3hrs (I am not an over sprayer). It can be worn all seasons and occasions such as date night or even special events like a wedding or even everyday scent and office scent.
Mykonos California Signature:
-very smooth and creamy. It's probably 85% of Bond No.9 Lafayette st whereas Wildcard is 95% in my opinion. Because it's so smooth and creamy it leans more unisex than Wildcard to me. It's also not as strong as Wildcard which makes it even more safe for the office and everyday/every occasion scent. This is not a 1:1 and they are not trying to be 1:1 whereas Wildcard wants to be 1:1.
The big question, which one is better? I'd say GOS Wildcard is slightly better but Mykonos California Dream is not far off and can hold its own. The price for both are about similar give or take $10. Both are EDPs so they last long and project but Wildcard is stronger and projects more.
