The fourth perfume of Kilian’s In the Garden of Good and Evil collection, released in 2013, Playing with the Devil is signed by Calice Becker: blood orange essence and a rose-tinged lychee are set ablaze with allspice berries, over a smoldering base of creamy sandalwood, which the house now ranks among its woody scents.
The house places blood orange and blackcurrant in the top, allspice berries and rose in the heart, and sandalwood in the base. It draws three main notes from them: blood orange, allspice berries and sandalwood.
Blood orange and lychee
Its story pairs the tart essence of blood orange with a rose-tinged lychee, set ablaze by the peppery essence of allspice berries. In 2013, The Candy Perfume Boy also listed white peach, black pepper from Madagascar, May rose and Indian sambac jasmine.
A smoldering sandalwood
The creamy sandalwood of the base gives the perfume, according to the house, a smoldering quality. The Candy Perfume Boy also noted cedar, patchouli, cistus, ambrarone, tonka bean, benzoin and vanilla.
