The Scoop

Kilian says the inspiration of Love (Don't Be Shy) was the marshmallow…a mouth watering treat for sensuous connoisseurs. It's sweet (but not overly) and tender at first, a soft and sugared elixir mixed with the orangey delights of bergamot and neroli, warmed with caramel and vanilla. It's almost nostalgic in some way…not an old fashioned feel but more like youthful exuberance which gains a gentle sensuality as it warms on the skin and the rose, jasmine and sweet notes combine. Love captures that sweet transition from innocence to worldly, but it never crosses the line into beat-you-over-the-head sexy territory. It's a memory scent, somewhere between a young girl's unicorn, rainbows and purple phase and her door slamming, love struck tirades…right in-between innocence and not.

Here's what other people are saying about Love...

I so love this!!! After sampling it, I added it to my collection immediately. It reminds me of a pleasant bubble gum or some kind of exclusive expensive candy. Definitely recommended for a summer night of fun and romance with a girly girl vibe.

By Linda - Investor from Miami on 2/7/2019

T.his is the scent of a marshmallow, but it is a rich, decadent, and somewhat musky and mysterious marshmallow. It is not a linear or boring scent, but sweet and mysterious in its dry down. Of course it goes without saying that you must like sweet gourmand scents to appreciate it. I however love these scents and this one is now among my favorite new bottles. I would add that when I originally got my sample that the juice was red and I hesitated thinking that it might stain my clothing. I forged ahead and bought a bottle and have had no issues with the color. Delightful addition for the gourmand lover. I think this scent would be lovely on a man as well who appreciates these sweet mysterious scents.

Smells like Neroli Parfum from La' Occitane! exactly like it. La' Occitane has less sugar which i like a whole lot better plus its cheaper!

By Tamara - Admin from Washington on 8/4/2017

I don't like very sweet scents so I probably should have stayed away from this one, but I love Hanae Mori Butterfly so I tried it based on one reviewer's comments. The sweetness was not gourmand on my skin, it was just cloying and unpleasant and had a mothball undercurrent (citrus often does this on my skin, unfortunately). This is the kind of perfume that, if I smelled it on someone, I would avoid her. I don't agree that it smells like Butterfly- this one lacks the creaminess and freshness.

I LOVE this scent!! It is my favorite out of all the perfumes I've tried. I love sweet smelling scents and this one is the best! It doesn't have any kind of synthetic smell like other perfumes and it lasts so much longer too! I can still smell this on me at the end of the day. I can't really afford it so I have to buy the samples but it's definitely worth the price since it's made with oils and doesn't have alcohol like all other perfumes. I'd love to own a full bottle someday!

By Kari - Daycare assistant from Springfield on 3/1/2016

Creamy, sweet orange blossom, sunny jasmine, a hint of red rose, and a good dose of vanilla marshmallow sweetness. This is one of the happiest fragrances that I own. It's a lovely, sweet, gourmand floral, and the orange, gold and red feel of it makes me think of sunshine.

By Eden - Writer from Toronto on 10/8/2015

This smells exactly like Hanae Mori Butterfly.

By Laura - from Middleville on 2/26/2015

Oooh, this one is interesting and complicated! When I first applied it at night, I was taken aback. WAY too sweet. I was drowning in the marshmallow-caramel sugar of it. I almost washed it off. Over the next few hours into dry down, it was still too sweet for me, but no longer cloying. Definitely marshmallow, lots of sugar. I shrugged and thought, "next"! But then... I woke up this morning, and I am left with only the most haunting, magical remnants of a perfect blend of spice, jasmine and neroli. It's heavenly. I want to bathe in it. So the question here is: can I live with the first few overbearing hours of sugar to get to this gorgeous finish? I am undecided as yet, and going to work through this sample and decide....

By Kathleen - writer from los angeles on 2/22/2015

This one develops beautifully. For me, it is an evening scent. Sweet and mysterious, I don't get any marshmallow from it. It develops over time, leaves a wonderful scent painting over time, and lasts for 12 hours. Test first. I get better effects from wearing it sprayed 8-12 inches from my clothes or wrist.

By Quinn - Writer from Phoenix on 11/28/2014

You can't go wrong with scents by Kilian, unusual and beautiful and so alluring to wear. But "Love" is without a doubt the best one on me, and the sillage is insane. I put in on around 8 am and by 8pm it is still going strong and true to scent… worth every penny.

By Sarah - from Graham, NC on 11/7/2014

By far my favorite Kilian, and I think I've tried them all. I wear perfumes to amuse myself and not for others, that being said, my husband loves this. I can understand the connection to marshmallows; subsequently, when I smell this, I also get a sweet orange blossom. Love is sweet on an ethereal level. I find it quite subtle and not cloying. I also only spray it once or twice. If you like light, sweet gourmands that are reminiscent of Peeps marshmallow treats, you'll really need to try Love. I know when you hear the words "marshmallow" and "Peeps" you're thinking cheap...Love does not smell cheap at all. It is very well put together and I would highly recommend this to any lover of sweet perfumes. I just purchased a full bottle and it is certainly worthy of the price. Get a sample!

By vanessa - from New England on 9/14/2014

A long list of luscious notes that just ended up being a sort of unremarkable sweet muddle, with the neroli taking charge. Faded to almost undetectable- save for a whisper of the neroli- in less than fifteen minutes.

By K - artist from San Francisco on 11/24/2013

love not. was really looking forward trying by Kilian fragrances. can't say I hate it but nothing special either. Spicy, yes, but without depth and mystery, a bit sweet. reminded of some synthetic commercial fragrance. Kilian's Love is anything but love.

This insanely delicious scent was a gift from my love. I found it in at COS BAR in Santa Barbara and fell in love. The price was a bit daunting for me, a student, so I admired from afar. A few weeks later, while waiting for a flight to depart to NYC with my sweetheart, he surprised me with a beautifully wrapped pressie! Inside was my coveted bottle of LOVE. I wear it religiously. It spans seasons and emotions unlike my other perfumes. This one reminds me of romantic love with the promise of forever.

By Tinkerbell - Grad Sudent from Los Angeles on 3/19/2013

This scent is so beautiful. It is light and very feminine. The dry down was not powdery on me at all. The scene has a good mix of sweet and sexy.

By W - Teacher from Lexington on 3/16/2013

Not impressed by this perfume, just sweet and boring, not in love with love.

By Rose - from New Zealand on 2/13/2013

My all time favorite!! Sexiest on earth! No way to give less than 5 stars, those may not just be enough sexy who did, sorry :) Best ever feminine fragrance made on earth!!!

By Barbara - doctor to be in a few months from Pécs- Padova right now on 11/26/2012

This is so good there is no other gourmand to even come up to it's bar. No words describe the feeling and richness of this. I flipping love it! Give it a try!

By Deppylicious - Karate Kid from City of Brotherly Love on 9/29/2012

I can absolutely see where the inspiration is marshmallow, but very sexy marshmallow. This stuff is soooo good. I can't believe how long it lasts on me. I sampled it almost 6 hours ago and it still smells great! I am guessin' I will own this one soon. SOOO GOOD!!!

By Anonymous - Mom from Minneapolis on 7/13/2012

I really like this fragrance, for me it smells just like orange sherbet and I get just a hint of the jasmine and rose in there too. It is quite a sweet perfume, but not sickly or plasticky. It doesn't seem to last long on my skin though. Nice one for spring/summer as it is quite light.
