By Kilian Love don't be shy review

September 14, 2010

By Kilian love don't be shy perfume is one of the four love themed fragrances from luxury perfume house By Kilian. Love don't be shy is a warm gourmande fragrance that embodies the devouring passion experienced during a love affair. By Kilian love don't be shy is created from the highest quality ingredients, making the fragrance seem as if it was created in your own kitchen.

By Kilian love don't be shy starts off with the warm scent of roasted marshmallows sprinkled in sugar. The fragrance takes you back to your childhood when you were camping in the Santa Cruz Mountains and making smores over an open fire. After about thirty minutes the sugar scent cools down as the sweet smell of orange blossoms rises up. At the end of the day, the sugary, floral scent is smoothed down with the warm fragrance of musk.

Top notes:  bergamot, neroli

Middle notes: honeysuckle, orange blossom, jasmine, iris, pink pepper

Base notes: musk, vanilla, caramelized sugar

By Kilian love don't be shy is arguably the best gourmande fragrance on the market. Fragrance Fashionistas who shy away from sweet, foodie fragrances will find this is the one gourmande they enjoy. Every Fragrance Fashionista should have By Kilian love don't be shy in their fragrance collection.
