What does Love Don't Be Shy Extreme smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, so it leaves a clear trail. Most voters pick spring and fall, with winter not far behind and summer a small share. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it is also worn for leisure. Half of the voters call it feminine, with modern second.

Bulgarian rose, orange blossom and marshmallow sit at its centre. The flowers blend into a sugary, creamy sweetness, the powdery and fruity tones soften it, and the fresh accord keeps it from turning heavy. Scentiments Shy Neroli Extreme and Kilian Love Don't Be Shy Eau Fraîche have a close profile.
