Launched in 2012 by By Kilian and crafted by perfumer Calice Becker, Forbidden Games is a Floral Fruity Gourmand fragrance that embodies the spirit of indulgence wrapped in playful sweetness. The composition opens with a burst of fresh peach, apple, and plum, creating an irresistible fruity charm before transitioning to a heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and bourbon geranium. This floral bouquet adds depth and warmth, while honey and vanilla base notes provide a rich, gourmand finish. Forbidden Games is neither gender-specific nor conventional, inviting wearers into a world where hedonism meets elegance.

Application Tips
One to two sprays are sufficient — the fruity top notes are bright and assertive but dissipate quickly. The rich base notes take about an hour to fully bloom, so apply early for a full experience throughout the day.
