By Kilian Forbidden Games Eau de Parfum 50ml Refill is a refill cartridge for the maison's iconic lacquered black flacon, featuring one of the brand's most beloved gourmand-floral compositions. Created by master perfumer Calice Becker, Forbidden Games captures the heady allure of forbidden fruit — orchard-juicy peach and plum wrapped around a heady Bulgarian rose-jasmine heart and a warming honey-vanilla base.

- Heart: Bulgarian rose, jasmine, geranium
- Base: Honey, vanilla, opoponax
Character
Forbidden Games opens with an orchard-fresh accord of juicy peach, plum and apple — slightly tart, slightly sweet — lifted by warming cinnamon. The heart unfurls into a heady floral signature of Bulgarian rose and night-blooming jasmine, while the dry-down rests on the scent's beating signature: a richly sumptuous base of honey, creamy vanilla and resinous opoponax. The result is a beautifully sensual, gourmand-floral with serious magnetism.
Who it's for
This refill is for existing Forbidden Games bottle owners who want to top up their lacquered flacon while reducing packaging waste — and for fans of rich, sensual gourmand-floral fragrances. Particularly suited to autumn and winter wear, evening occasions and statement-fragrance moments. Fans of Tom Ford Lost Cherry, YSL Black Opium or Initio Side Effect will recognise the territory.
How to use
- Open the original Forbidden Games bottle from the top
- Slide the 50ml refill cartridge into the bottle and re-seal
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, base of the throat — after moisturising
- Hold the bottle 15–20 cm from the skin and apply 2–3 short presses
- Let the fragrance dry naturally without rubbing the wrists together
- Re-apply sparingly — niche EDPs with honey-vanilla bases have excellent longevity
