Love Don't Be Shy - 112

No. 112 takes direct inspiration from By Kilian's Love Don't Be Shy, a fragrance built around a distinctive marshmallow, neroli and orange blossom accord that has become one of the house's most recognisable signatures. The Essence Vault's version opens with the same tender neroli and orange blossom, moving through an innocent honeysuckle-and-rose heart before landing on a soft marshmallow and amber base that captures the addictive, comforting sweetness the original is known for. The gap is in staying power: Love Don't Be Shy is regularly praised for a potent, sweet 'bubble' of sillage that lasts eight to ten hours on skin, while this interpretation projects well for the first hour or two before fading into a much quieter sweet-musk finish. A charming, cozy gourmand floral for intimate evenings, best applied generously given its shorter runtime.
