Playing With The Devil

by Calice Becker

Kilian Playing With The Devil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Calice Becker. The fragrance opens with Peach, Blackcurrant, Litchi, and Blood Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Pepper, and Pimiento, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on Playing With The Devil: Statement

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some reckon it's a juicy, fruity revelation with a spicy kick, while others are convinced it smells like 'pink medicine' or even body odour. Definitely one to sample first before you commit, as your skin chemistry will make or break it.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong fruity and spicy accords, often noted for their excellent sillage and longevity by some, make it a bit much for the office. It's much better suited for casual outings or dates where its unique character can truly shine without overpowering. It's too complex and rich for sport.

About

It kicks off with a bright, pulpy burst of peach, litchi, and blood orange, underscored by a tart blackcurrant. As it settles, a warm, peppery spice emerges from pimento and a hint of rose. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and sweet vanilla, giving it a comforting yet intriguing depth.
