What do reviewers say about Love Don't Be Shy and Floral Marshmallow?
Love Don't Be Shy trades By Kilian's usual edge for something disarmingly tender. The opening fizzles with pink pepper and bergamot before an almost childish sweetness takes over.Love Don't Be Shy
Orange blossom and marshmallow is a bold move, sweet enough to flirt, warm enough to wear year-round. It doesn't whisper. Wears close, projects moderate, and lasts into the next morning.Floral Marshmallow
