Love, Don't Be Shy

Love, Don't Be Shy by Kilian is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2007 in the luxury price tier. It opens with neroli and bergamot, moves into orange blossom and marshmallow and dries down to vanilla, musk and caramel. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
• Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Marshmallow Soft, sugary and pillowy. Pure comfort.

Dry-down

• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
