Love Don't Be Shy from By Kilian is a sweet white floral that leans hard into sugar, vanilla and caramel. Neroli, bergamot, pink pepper and coriander give it a lively, slightly spicy start. Orange blossom, honeysuckle and jasmine form the heart, with iris, rose and a puff of marshmallow. The base melts into sugar, caramel and vanilla, held down by musk, labdanum and a warm hint of civet. Released in 2007, it is usually worn by women who like their sweetness bold. Voters choose it for autumn and winter evenings and nights, and some wear it to work. The longevity vote leans moderate. Most wearers call the sillage moderate. A 3ml decant is a sensible way to live with this much sugar first.
