The review
On paper, Ciao is a strong bet if you want Love, Don't Be Shy for less.
Riiffs 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.
At $37 per 100ml it costs 94% less than Love, Don't Be Shy — the 9th cheapest of 20 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Riiffs 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 Ciao is working from.
Top
- neroli
- bergamot
- orange blossom
Heart
- marshmallow

Base
- caramel
- vanilla
- musk
For the flirt with a sweet tooth. Orange blossom and marshmallow whip into caramel and vanilla — pillowy, playful, irresistible.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
