The review

Forbidden Games scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Forbidden Games.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Forbidden Games's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 91% less than Forbidden Games.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

By Kilian Forbidden Games is apple blossom and peach at first, rose, jasmine and gardenia at its heart and musk, sandalwood and vanilla at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
