Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Love Don't Be Shy EDP
A decadent marshmallow and orange blossom fantasy, Love Don't Be Shy is unapologetically sweet, lush, and seductive. It is a niche gourmand for those who want to be noticed and enveloped in plush, romantic warmth.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Delight Extrait
Delight is Aromara's take on Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy, the marshmallow-orange-blossom scent that became a cult favourite for its comforting sweetness. Aromara leans the marshmallow and vanilla base up front sooner than Kilian does, giving Delight an earlier, more instant sweetness at the cost of some of the original's slow-building orange blossom nuance.
