Identity and Release History

Welcome to the world of By Kilian, where luxury meets temptation.

The fragrance Forbidden Games, also known in Russia as "Forbidden Games", first launched in 2012, becoming a prominent part of the collection The Narcotics.

This line explores the dark and seductive facets of perfumery, reflecting the brand's philosophy: artistic rebellion and sophistication, born in Paris in 2007 by founder Kilian Hennessy, heir to the legendary cognac dynasty.

Positioning and Wearability

Forbidden Games is a women's fragrance that captivates with its versatility and elegance.

As a perfume water, it offers the perfect balance of longevity and grace, with a medium trail, leaving a subtle but memorable trace.

For optimal application, it is recommended to use 1 to 2 sprays on the skin and 1 to 2 sprays on clothing, allowing you to enjoy the fragrance throughout the day without overdoing it.

It is ideal for romantic evenings, special occasions, or when you want to add a note of mystery to everyday life.

Creators and Influence

Their collaboration resulted in a fragrance that strengthened By Kilian's reputation as a brand boldly pushing boundaries in perfumery.

This release became an important milestone in the The Narcotics collection, highlighting the theme of forbidden pleasures and elegant seduction, continuing to inspire fans worldwide.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

Pyramid of Notes

The composition Forbidden Games begins with a playful burst of fruity notes: juicy apple, spicy cinnamon, tender peach, and sweet plum create an appetizing and refreshing introduction.

In the heart of the fragrance, elegant floral chords blossom: fresh geranium, sensual jasmine, and luxurious rose add depth and passion, softening the initial fruity brightness.

The base envelops with warm and sweet notes: natural honey, balsamic opopanax, and creamy vanilla provide a long and cozy finish, creating a sense of tranquility.

This journey from fruity freshness through floral tenderness to sweet harmony makes the fragrance multifaceted and captivating, unfolding on the skin with each passing hour.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Medium (2 to 5 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
