    With Kilian, even if you don’t like their fruit, you have to admit they dominate the fruity field and exploit it to the maximum. In all their fruity fragrances, each one shines with its star note, such as the peach. Playing With The Devil has been a real treat for me: it’s a spicy oriental floral where the chilli pepper really comes through. It’s super pleasant, spicy, with an erotic touch and totally unisex. The notes don’t stand out too much, although the chilli pepper dominates on my nose, along with black pepper, but it doesn’t smell like an old-fashioned men’s perfume. I get a hint of beer, nothing negative, it’s curious and surprising. Scent: 8 (very original), Sillage: 7 (house mark), Longevity: 10. Would I buy it? No. Would I recommend it blindly if you know what you like? Yes, but the price… it’s not justified, just like the rest of Kilian’s range.
