It still remains my number one FAVOURITE perfume of all time. It is me in a bottle. The perfect representation of the flower waters that are in Lebanese deserts. If you ever taste a Lebanese pudding called Mouhalabia it is identical. It is literally orange blossom and rose water drenched is a sugary syrup. It’s DIVINE!!!!!! I kind of hate that it’s becoming popular. It’s also gotten more expensive. When I wear it I feel like a Arab princess. ADORE IT!!!!
Gold Lattes I’m afraid I’m not familiar with civet. It is incredibly sweet yet floral at the same time. It is absolutely DIVINE. But of course to me it has a very strong connection to my heritage. It is impeccable though. I’ve never owned a perfume with this kind of lasting power. It is almost worth the insane price tag. I’m not rich so for me it’s the only niche I own.
Lina Morgana I’m actually a Canadian but Lebanese on both sides. I’ve travelled to Lebanon three times and it is an incredible country with delicious , healthy cuisine and wonderful people!
Christine Shadya I ordered it from the Kilian website last night! I’m so excited lol, thanks for your response 🥰 it’s expensive but my birthday is in a few days so I figured I deserved a treat.
I think love don't be shy means be more assertive and flirty, not timid :D but what you said is a great message, we need to spred love in this world where a lot of people are choosing hate. let's be better!!
I believe just telling a man I'm wearing the same fragrance as Rihanna tonight warms our blood(at least mine) it truly is a gormand scent. And I love Kilian Black Phantom.
Great review as always. My sample of Love was just delivered and I can't wait to get home and smell it. I've heard Kilians Princess (which I have) is similar, but the notes are different.
Khadijah Jenkins I think Princess smells like Marshmellow in the opening but that’s it. It’s so watery and lifeless in my opinion. I will forever search for a dupe of Love. It is positively EXQUISITE to me. The only gourmand that I love that is affordable is Armani Code Casmere. It is also gorgeous but will never be LOVE Don’t Be Shy.
@@christineshadya5741 Your right, Love smells nothing like Princess I think it's beautiful, but I simply can't justify the price....so I'll continue to purchase samples.
Delicious Delights too sweet/feminine with my nose. regarding the rose prick, i just ordered a sample off of luckyscent, since it’s free shipping all weekend (small samples, but definitely enough for a few wears). i’ll let u know how i like it. the rose/patchouli combo intrigued me. but it might take about 3 weeks for me to receive my samples, since the roja dove samples i ordered were on a 2 week waiting period.
This perfume is really elegant and sweet and yummy and so me. I'd just received my travel spray sets and I will rock it during the summer vacation. Really lovely
You need at least hour to get a full potency of this smell. I didn't like it for the first time I sprayed it. Then I got offered a sample and I absolutely don't regret to get it. I used for Christmas and it was just perfect. I am in Love. It becames my nr1 perfume I can't wait to purchase a full size bottle.
Hi Arlene. Could you please compare Love Don’t be Shy and Xerjoff Lira. Do you find them similar at all? Which one do you enjoy better? I have Lira, and Love on the way, but I’m interested in your thoughts on the 2
I personally don't find them similar no, and I honestly love them both so much, would be hard to decide. I guess it would just depend on my mood...Lira for spicy cupcakes/cookies and Love for marshmallows drizzled with orange blossom sugar syrup. Both are fantastic! :D
Delicious Delights Thank you for replying. It’s just that I consider Lira to be the best caramel ever made, but FOMO got the best of me when everyone started talking about the caramel in Love, so I had to get my dirty paws on it smh! I just hope that it’s not an expensive mistake because I bought it blind... Also, is there a difference between the black and white bottles? Mine is in a black bottle.
@@missfelly340 I haven't tried the white bottles but I'd guess it's been reformulated as Kilian was bought out by another company not too long ago. Fingers crossed it's a successful blind buy!
Have you tried any of the My Kind of Love collection? I’m so in love with After Sunset. I just ordered the travel in Love Don’t Be Shy and I’m soooo excited! If I like it I’ll order the full-size. Great review!

Aww Christine I remember this being your absolute fave. The dessert sounds absolutely delicious! :D
Do you get the civet note? A lot of people say it’s undetected. Due to the lockdown I have to blind buy all of my new fragrances.

I'm saving up for this as a special treat! Also always think of you as a sweet, sort of comforting person and always enjoy your reviews!
Oh thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos and hopefully you can get this one soon :D
They have a knock off version on Etsy for 16 bucks if you want to try that! Sold by pureparfums1425 has a lot of great reviews
Happy Valentine's Weekend, Arlene! I hope you have a 'cozy' time with your husband! 💖 Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
Happy Vday to you too Ginny! :D

Hmm to me I find them to be quite different. Both are nice though :D
OMG, i would NOT want my man smelling like love don’t be shy, LOL! but i LOVE it on me and others. great vid.
Lol I'm curious...why not? :)

@@lalad5220 fingers crossed itll have been worth the wait 😊

So many 'influencers' are singing praises on the Eau Fraiche version. i knew I could count on you for an honest review.
You need at least hour to get a full potency of this smell. I didn't like it for the first time I sprayed it. Then I got offered a sample and I absolutely don't regret to get it.

Love the intro!
What’s the difference between the black bottle and the pink? Can’t find the black one either?
Is it just me or it smell very grapey cough syrup in the beginning. I'm not sure but I'll let it settle for a while
It's not just you.
Bought this coz of your review on the top by Kilian perfumes which was a few years back. It was way before it was known as Rihanna’s scent.
Lol nice! Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am :D

Have you tried the new Extreme version, is that one better? Thinking about purchasing for wife for Valentine's Day.
Hi, what's the difference between the black and pink bottle?
You are making my choice hard, lol. I want the original Love and Good Girl too.
Oohh that's a tough choice! They're both sticky jammy sweets...lovely ones! :D
I purchased a sample from lucky scent in bev. Hills and yes I luv it, luv it.
it smells nice but it’s so soft ... esp for the price .
It kind of gives me a narciso rodriguez poudree vibe
Its smells like grape medicine to me, b4 and after i sprayed. I don't like it
I want to buy a gift for me wife, its between love dont be shy and initio pyscadelic love, which would you go for?
Love ❤

Would you say it’s a safe blind buy (for someone who likes something like bon bon from viktor & Rolf)?
I blind bought it. I hate it.
have u smelled that prickly rose scent from tom ford yet? i haven’t yet.
Not yet. I've not seen it in stores here in NL :)
Pls do review LV Les Sables Roses 💚💙💜💛💖💗
Did you smell the coriander in Love don't be shy? And do you consider it a summer fragrance?
Anne-Marie Bodewitz it’s more of colder months fragrance
I personally don't get the coriander. I think most people would probably prefer to wear it for cooler weather. :D
Is this in the realm of bacarrat rouge 540 by any chance ?
To my nose they're very different :)
My fave 😍
This smells verrrry similar to Mancera Velvet Vanilla
Yes! I have both and Mancera has better longevity. At least on me.
Bought it like week ago:))
How do you like it?
HaPpY HapPy VALENTINES DAY
Happy Vday to you too Kathy!
