The review

On paper, Modest Affection For Women is a strong bet if you want Love, Don't Be Shy for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Love, Don't Be Shy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 85% less than Love, Don't Be Shy — the 18th cheapest of 20 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on neroli, bergamot and orange blossom, turns to marshmallow, rose and jasmine, and settles into caramel, vanilla and musk. That is the brief Modest Affection For Women is working from.

Top

  • neroli
  • bergamot
  • orange blossom

Heart

  • marshmallow
  • rose
  • jasmine

Base

  • caramel
  • vanilla
  • musk
For the flirt with a sweet tooth. Orange blossom and marshmallow whip into caramel and vanilla — pillowy, playful, irresistible.
