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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Take Part

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Reach for it across spring and summer, where the fruity signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

This one suits casual and daily settings; the easy, breezy character keeps it versatile for date rotation too.

Counterplay

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Counterplay's woody and spicy accords suit the cool, cozy weather of fall and winter. However, its lighter elements like green notes also adapt well to spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The moderate projection and versatile nature make Counterplay suitable for office settings and casual or date scenarios. Its refined character suits formal occasions but is less ideal for sports.
