Love, Don't Be Shy

How it moves

Neroli, bergamot and orange blossom hit first, the way an opening line should. The middle belongs to marshmallow, rose and jasmine. By evening it is caramel, vanilla and musk, and it is better for it.

What wearers say

4.02 out of 5 across 12,800 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.

• Famous as a marshmallow-and-orange-blossom gourmand; described as sweet, creamy, and irresistibly cozy, like edible vanilla candy.
• Performance leans intimate to moderate for most, with good longevity but soft, close-to-skin projection some wish were stronger.
• Beloved as a flirty date-night and cold-weather scent; the main criticisms are the luxury price and how sugary-sweet it can read.

Who made it
