Playing With The Devil by By Kilian, released in 2013 and composed by Calice Becker, is a fruity, sweet and spicy scent. Everyone describes it as sweet, most as woody, about half as spicy and floral, and a minority as resinous and citrusy.

The opening is a fruit basket of litchi, blood orange, black currant and white peach, giving a juicy, tart and slightly exotic brightness. In the heart, rose and jasmine bring a soft floral core, while pimento and pepper add a warm, clove-like spice that gives the fragrance its devilish edge. The base is rich and smooth: patchouli adds earthiness, vanilla, tonka bean and benzoin a creamy, balsamic sweetness, and sandalwood with cedar a soft woody frame.

People report moderate to long-lasting wear and a moderate trail. Votes favour spring and summer and lean towards daytime, so it suits sunny days, celebrations and evenings out for someone who likes juicy fruit with spice and warmth.
