Love Don’T Be Shy

Parfumour’s Interpretation of By Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy

Love Don’t Be Shy is a sweet gourmand floral, and our version keeps that feel: a fresh neroli opening, an orange blossom heart, and a soft marshmallow and vanilla base.

The Story Behind the Scent

By Kilian built Love Don’t Be Shy around the idea of sweetness and comfort, pairing orange blossom with a fluffy marshmallow and vanilla base for a scent that feels like a warm hug.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the neroli and pink pepper fresh up top, let orange blossom, jasmine and rose bloom in the middle, and finish on a soft marshmallow and vanilla base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a niche eau de parfum sold at high niche pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a sweet, cosy, gourmand floral and wants a niche style scent without the niche price.

Notes

Top notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Pink Pepper

Heart notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Rose

Base notes: Marshmallow, Vanilla

How it Smells

It opens fresh and soft, with neroli and bergamot lifted by a touch of pink pepper.

The heart is a warm orange blossom softened by jasmine and rose, sweet but pretty.

The base is where it gets addictive, with fluffy marshmallow and vanilla giving a cosy, lasting sweetness.

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
