Kilian Love, don't be shy Anniversary Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Calice Becker. Love, don't be shy Anniversary Edition opens with Bergamot, Neroli, Pink Pepper, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Marshmallow, Musk, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Kilian's Love, don't be shy Anniversary Edition carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Love, don't be shy Anniversary Edition is a big, sweet white floral gourmand that skips subtlety for pure indulgence. Orange blossom and jasmine meet marshmallow, caramel and vanilla, so it smells like a sugared bouquet. Lovely if you want sweetness with your flowers, a lot if you do not.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

The opening is bright and slightly spicy, with pink pepper, neroli, coriander and bergamot giving a sparkling lift. The heart is a full white floral bouquet of orange blossom, honeysuckle, iris, jasmine and rose, rich and creamy rather than airy. Then the sweetness arrives: marshmallow, caramel and vanilla wrap around musk and labdanum, which adds a warm, resinous depth. The result is a sugary, flower-heavy gourmand that feels soft, warm and very sweet. It is a scent to wear when you want comfort and a little glamour together.
