Review of Playing with the Devil
Playing with the Devil by Kilian is a bold statement in the world of women's perfumes. Its fruity and floral profile, led by blood orange and white peach, provides an initial burst of zesty freshness. This invigorating start settles into a mélange of floral and spicy heart notes, with a dash of rose and pimento. The base, a warm blend of sandalwood and tonka bean, anchors the fragrance with an earthy touch.
This perfume is definitely one for the daring. It doesn't shy away from making a statement and is best suited for those looking to make an impression. Its sillage is moderate, ensuring it won't overpower but will leave a lingering, memorable scent in your wake.
With its fruity-spicy character, it seems to sparkle most in the spring and summer seasons, evoking a sense of playful mischief. However, it holds its own in the cooler months of fall, with the warm, woody base notes adding a comforting depth.
While it's versatile for various occasions, it shines brightest in leisurely settings or for daily wear. It adds a hint of excitement to routine days and casual outings. For business or night outs, it might not pack enough punch for those looking for a powerhouse fragrance.
In terms of value, it is a bit of a splurge. The longevity is decent but not outstanding, calling for reapplication for all-day wear.
Playing with the Devil is for the woman who embraces her playful side, who isn't afraid of a little mischief in her scent. It's a fragrance that says 'Yes, I am here' without shouting it.
