Kilian Forbidden Games is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Calice Becker. Forbidden Games opens with Cinnamon, Apple, Peach, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Honey, and Opoponax. Kilian's Forbidden Games carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

More like 'Mildly Tempting Games'. This one's a divisive mix: some get juicy, honey-drizzled fruit perfection, others a cloying, dated floral with serious shampoo vibes. Definitely not a blind buy.

Its moderate sillage and sweet, fruity-floral profile make it a good fit for dates and casual outings, though some find it a bit too strong or 'loud' for office wear. The prominent gourmand and fruity accords generally steer it away from formal events, with 'younger crowd' mentions suggesting a more relaxed vibe.

About

Forbidden Games opens with a burst of lush, ripe fruits - think succulent peach, crisp apple, and juicy plum, all dusted with a hint of warm cinnamon. This gourmand sweetness transitions into a soft floral heart of jammy rose and delicate jasmine, before settling into a syrupy base where golden honey, smooth vanilla, and a touch of opoponax create a comforting, dessert-like warmth.
