What does Love Don't Be Shy (Perfume) smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, then spring, with summer well behind. It sits most comfortably on evenings and nights out, and also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine.

Rose, neroli, honeysuckle and orange blossom absolute form a floral frame, with a fruity touch alongside. Marshmallow and amber pull that frame towards a sugary, soft, creamy warmth. The notes read as one whole from start to finish; Avapari Rose Marshmallow and Ariana Grande R.E.M. Cherry Eclipse have a close profile.
