Kilian Love Don'T Be Shy

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full.

It opens on neroli, bergamot and pink pepper, moves through orange blossom, honeysuckle and jasmine, and settles on sugar, vanilla and caramel.

• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
