Love, Don't Be Shy Amber & Oud

Love, Don't Be Shy Amber & Oud by Kilian is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. The house lists its notes as oud, amber, rose and akigalawood, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Listed notes

• Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
• Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
• Akigalawood Patchouli with the earth taken out. Peppery, lightly spiced dry wood that makes a base feel expensive.
