The review
On paper, Love Don't Be Shy is a strong bet if you want Love, Don't Be Shy for less.
The Essence Vault 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 $32 per 100ml it costs 95% less than Love, Don't Be Shy — the 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 The Essence Vault 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 Love Don't Be Shy is working from.

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