Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Take Part EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of By Kilian - Playing With The Devil - a fruity fragrance led by Black currant, White Peach, Litchi, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
