Kilian Love Don't Be Shy Smell-Alikes | Are They Really Dupes? Clones?

[@DeliciousDelights]

Extra note: None of these are an exact dupe of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy. They just remind me of Kilian Love in one way or another and have some similarities, which I explain in the video, but aren't exact dupes of it. So...when I said a scent smells like LDBS in the video, I really meant that in my opinion, they're in the same family or have similar vibes going on. Just wanted to make it clear 😁 Also, I forgot to add that Dear Rose Song for a Queen also reminds me of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy. I have a travel size of it but forgot to include it in the video. Cheers! :D

[@araweelospirit4180]

The Zara rose marshmallow smells nothing and I mean NOTHING like Love don’t be shy. Zero! If you want something in the same range in Zara use the fleur De Orange 🍊 and the layer it with rich warm addictive. You get the orange blossom and the vanilla elements. Thank me later

[@Ash_Lo]

An almost exact clone for love don't be shy is belayered caramel overdose. I tested them side by side yesterday, and not only is CO an almost exact clone for LDBS, it also outperformed LDBS.

[@nima_33]

I have Dossier Floral marshmallow along with a travel size LDBS. The Dossier is so good and so close to LDBS that I can’t justify a full bottle of the Kilian (on my budget lol). Dolce & Gabbana pour femme is like a subdued, boring version of LDBS. I never thought of them as similar till I was sniffing around and realized they have similarities. Also, I think Bath & Body works inadvertently duped LDBS in their PinkBerry Clouds line (now discontinued). I only realized it recently and can’t get more, lol. It smells so good layered with my LDBS travel spray and/or Dossier.

[@lisawithans]

I love “love don’t be shy” it’s one of my favorites. Another one that is close is Reminience Guimauve. thank you, love your lipstick color!

[@ChaoticCurlz]

Memo sintra has been on my radar for awhile, I’m just so interested in the note breakdown. Thanks for another vid☺️

[@krischan5186]

After sampling this when it was getting so much hype, all I could think of is that Love Don't Be Shy is a more delicate, balanced version of Mancera's Velvet Vanilla. Somebody mentioned Sundazed which is a citrusy version and also, Rouge Smoking from BDK. This is quite a popular mix of notes, apparently. Thanks for sharing!

[@gix2lee]

Hello DD. I’ve recently been exposed to marshmallow scents, Kilian’s LDBS in particular, and I think I’ve fallen into a deep fragrance rabbit hole. I guess there’s a controversy w the new vs original/dark juice version of LDBS, so your thoughts about them would be interesting. Thanks Arlene.

[@amynorovich9618]

Thank you for the fun video! I thought immediately of Byredo's Sundazed - which reminds me a lot of Love, but is a bit fresher and more wearable on my skin

[@DeliciousDelights]

Ohh I'll have to revisit that one 😊

[@e.starling141]

I only have Sintra and Love and i agree they smell very similar. I can still tell them apart, but the orange blossom and mashmallow is dominant in both. I think I'm a bit of a weirdo because I'm not a big fan of orange blossom. Perfumes with it as a domiant note are ones i tend to dislike. Love is the exception, i think because theres so much prominent marshmallow and vanilla to tone the orange blossom down. I do like Sintra too, but i find the orange blossom to be a little too prominent for my liking. I wish i liked it! Its such a popular note right now. Thanks for the comparison break down! 😊

[@rozzier7293]

I just purchased Sintra. I love it 🥰

[@Julie_77777]

I own Mancera Velvet Vanilla and when I sprayed LDBS it reminded me of Mancera. The difference is that Velvet Vanilla sweetness is clean, and LDBS is super powdery. I'm not good with powder bombs, had to scrub it off 😥

[@avocadosandwiche]

Hi Arlene ! Great video! Can you please make a video on the comparison of the formulations of loe dont by shy? 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️

[@jessiebop0]

I would love a comparison of the old and new. I have the old black bottle as well as the new and I definitely notice a difference

[@Redsky33]

Love don’t be shy dosen’t last on my skin😢 also i feel that dosen’t projets, i think its a little bit to expensive for that on me last around 4 h with a tiny projection.. do you think sintra will be better for me?

[@shuvanidev]

Ah yes, you hit on it, my favorite quality of the original LDBS is that rich caramel dry down that I think might be missing in the later clear pink bottles?? I say that because no one who reviews the newer bottles mentions anything about the caramel (or the civet) - just the orange blossom/marshmallow aspect. Anyway, the original LDBS was my favorite and I have tried so many dupe house oils trying to find an approximate fragrance with that gooey caramel and have failed. You are right though, these that you mention here are similar but not true dupes. One day when I win the lottery I would hope to find one remaining bottle of the og LDBS - wish me luck :)

[@OsloTime]

Your profile picture makes me happy everytime I see it! So adorable! I've never smelled this fragrance but I've heard that Princess by Kilian is in the same family as far as the sweetness. I had a sample and I loved it, but would have only bought a full bottle if the price was under $50. I don't like the price tag that comes with Princess haha. Interesting bottle though! I'll have to try some of these Arlene. Thanks for the video, have a nice weekend! 🤗🌞 🌼

[@FrenchCocoa369]

Great comparisons video! Maybe my nose isn’t as developed but LDBS just was to much of syrupy sweet flower to me. But Ironically, I absolutely LOVE Sintra. It’s a beast and I’m addicted to it LOL. I really want to sample the Reminiscence perfumes next. Oh and I thought that Princess is another lovely marshmallow. I never even noticed the Matcha Green tea in it, until one day I made a Matcha Latte while wearing it. What a lovely surprise. I love my Matcha Lattes really sweet, milky, with plenty of Vanilla 🍵🍵🍵

[@DeliciousDelights]

Mmm sounds delicious!

[@charmedbymeghan]

I think I would love the JPG fragrance. They seem to be one of my favorite Designer brands for fragrances. I even enjoy Le Male too. Of course I already own La Belle, but I would like to get the flankers too.

[@luzbelmar6244]

I really want to hear your comparison between the original LDBS and the refirmulated version. Cause if they are not too different I would like to get the new one. Thanks for This video:)

[@A.K.00]

Pls do comparison of both formulations of Love. How do they compare one on each hand?

[@rhondadearborn3265]

This is one of my favorite scent profiles I have pretty much all of the ones u mentioned🤦‍♀️🤪🤣 I would add that the pink one “guimauve” from Reminiscence is more similar to this fragrance vibe - also perdizone

[@DeliciousDelights]

Ahh...I don't think I've tried the pink one yet. Sounds very nice :D

[@Joss-Jane]

Great video Arlene!!! 💖💖💖I have Guimauve de Noel and love it!!!

[@greyhoundmama1085]

I have LDBS as well as Dragee and Oriana. I would like to have Sintra too but not for its similarity to LDBS. If I compare what I have, LBDS is also my favourite. In addition to the scent differences, i find that LBDS is much smoother as it dries down. Many thanks for the comparison video, Arlene!

[@gyrlgeorge]

Did you ever do a video comparing the old version of LDBS and the new?

[@shockbbyb9464]

I have never tried LDBS, but i have both Oriana and Sintra. Sintra is a beast, Oriana is more smooth and close to the skin.

[@Ercilianew]

Nobile 1942 Perdizione is similar, Another good option is House of silage Benevolence. They come Close but not the same I prefer LDBS.

[@mamoni7703]

I don’t love Love Don’t Be Shy because it’s a bit too overwhelming for me but appreciate the composition. Thank you for suggesting other similar brands with a similar scent profile 😊. Want to try out the Pin Up one from JPG.

[@charmedbymeghan]

I think I could buy all the marshmallow fragrances and be happy... I recently bought PHLUR Not Your Baby and that is an Orris Marshmallow fragrance. It is BEAUTIFUL! And I also have a travel-size decant of BROWN GIRL JANE Casablanca and that is another beautiful marshmallow fragrance. I will for sure get the full-size hopefully on a good sale!

[@DeliciousDelights]

Sounds lovely! I'll have to add these to my test list! :D

[@charmedbymeghan]

@@DeliciousDelights have you ever tried Orientica Melodie? It's supposed to be a dupe to Memo Paris Sintra. I haven't tried Sintra yet but it sounds lovely, plan on getting a decant soon. But I just bought Melodie! Hoping it is as beautiful and green+marshmallowy as everyone says lol

[@pryak6581]

Another good and very affordable one along those lines is Motörhead's Bad Magic. :)

[@Brandon3T]

yes the juice in the new bottle is lighter in color & scent. Its been reformulated. Same for black phantom as well

[@mounze90]

I like love don’t be shy and recently I have been getting a lot of perfumes that smell like it. I’d like to add Roja Reckless essence de parfums to the list it’s smell quite similar to love and oriana. Sundazed too

[@wenavi8289]

Can u make a video comparing the original vs the EXTREME version pleaseeeeeeeee

[@alisamitchell8826]

THANK YOU FOR THE SIMULARITIES REGARDING LOVE DONT BE SHY PERFUME I HAVE NEVER SMELLED IT MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL GET A TESTER TO SEE HOW IT SMELLS I WILL BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE ONE BY ZAR EMOTIONS JUST TO SEE

[@lobi5104]

I find Rouge Smoking by BDK to be similar. Obviously it has cherry and not marshmallows, but I find that it has that same fluffy vanilla.

[@amynorovich9618]

That is so interesting! For me, the cherry really dominates so I hadn't made that connection. I'll have to have another sniff :)

[@JuttaBerlin]

In my opinion Reminiscence Dragee and LDBS are very, very, very similar, so not Guimauve but Dragee would be the perfect dupe.

[@youreverypicture3877]

I think dragee is excellent; &; the price & lasting power, is excellent, I thk - doesn't last as long as LDBS but it's good in it's own right🙏💜

[@penelopepalm]

I haven’t smelled love don’t be shy but I think it sounds appealing. I do like the marshmallow sweetness of sintra on the dry down. But of all the choices I’m most intrigued by classified pinup. I’m just so confused by the naming of the jpg products. Are all the classiques the same with different bottles?

[@DeliciousDelights]

I think they're all versions of Classique except for the La Belle collection 😊

[@missyrivas8623]

Reminiscence guimauve is VERY close to LDBS

[@just.jaimie.]

To me, Love don’t be shy is a decadent yet airy marshmallow and sexy bourbon vanilla scent, I LOVE it so much, it’s just so gorgeous. I also recently acquired JPG pin up and that to me is much more about the orange and the ginger. I sampled PDM oriana and having Pin Up, I think oriana would be redundant in my collection. I don’t think having love don’t be shy and either pin up OR oriana would be too redundant. Haven’t tried the others, they all sound lovely 🥰

[@charmedbymeghan]

IMO Oriana is not worth the price. I have a decant and I just don't think it smells that expensive. I feel dupe house could probably easily clone it pretty well.

[@kuga7423]

Zara has new series with interesting rainbow bottles . I bought the marshmallows addiction and petal lollipop.

[@DeliciousDelights]

Nice! I'll have a video up very soon about those ;)

[@lightwithloveyourlife]

Could you please tell me where can I buy the black bottle LDBS ? thanks.

[@DeliciousDelights]

I've only seen the white bottle available in stores unfortunately :(

[@stephanier2690]

I really enjoy wearing LDBS, but I smell a lot of civet in it! I always feel very dirty when I wear it. Perfect clubbing scent.

[@pinkfabulous248]

I don’t think we have this Zara in UK, is it new ? 🌸

[@eryabolonha]

It is from the children section, not new though

[@DeliciousDelights]

I think it was released in 2020 😊

[@pinkfabulous248]

Ah ok thanks 🌸🌸

[@joellalouisa]

Love this video. Could you make a video about Divain? The website with dupes for popular scents. They also have Kilian inspired and so much more. 🥰

[@DeliciousDelights]

I'll keep it in mind, thanks! :D

[@ownkindofbeautyldj]

Thanks for sharing… I must try ldbs

[@МаринаМайгун]

Are Oriana and Zara alike?

[@snoocherific139]

I don't understand the hype around love don't be shy. I was so excited to get it, but when I put it on, I gagged because it smells like sunblock. I don't smell anything like orange blossom, vanilla, or marshmallow. It literally smells like coppertone sunblock. It's nasty.

[@demi-minwi3063]

That zara kid perfumes smells like kiddy perfume. Waterdown marshmallow. My kids use it. Extremely light.

[@MsMeGUka]

Is dragee similar to Killian princess ?

[@elisabeth400]

Not at all.

[@DeliciousDelights]

I haven't tested them side by side yet, I should do :)

[@figarroscentstories6067]

Perdizione 1942 in a similar style to Love :)

[@rosanybaker8209]

UNIQUE’E LUXURY ISTANBUL is an exact replica. Amazing! Is 98-100% the exact same thing.

[@Hannah_Rachel_and_Kotik]

If nothing is close, l will buy the original...

[@brigittelehmann9749]

I Just love Jean Paul Gaultier

[@EverythingQueen]

I blew through that Zara one so fast, I scared myself. 😅

[@DeliciousDelights]

😆

[@c.k.6287]

So many people say this.. i was in the store yesterday.. sniffed it and did not smell anything similar to it 😭 i dont understand it... was it already gone bad maybe?

[@AS-mq1hr]

Forbidden Pink by Zara ... currently available is extremely close to Rose candy marshmallow, only it lasts longer and is stronger!

[@garycalcagno408]

The Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40, the scent of the Bom Dia body cream, smells a lot like Love don't be Shy! No marshmallow note, but has a very similar gourmand feel.

[@a.g.g9995]

Ive been so curious about this one.haven’t smelt it you

[@leelooswan5766]

Dragée? Definitely not similar for me

[@leelooswan5766]

@@owly4972 agree for this but not for love ! Indeed i love dragée i wore iT at My wedding

[@Emuletipsi96]

Exactely my opinion - but Reminiscence Les Notes Gourmandes Mi Fa Guimauve from the same line is

[@youreverypicture3877]

@@Emuletipsi96 I think both Guimauve & Dragee are similar; dragee is a little soapier, but the drydowns are similar. The new btls of LDBS are not great - even after you let them macerate for months; I can see why ppl go for Be Layered or others; haven't tried it, but the new LDBS is so diluted, it's a bit cheeky🤭💜🙏💜

[@demi-minwi3063]

Every marshmallow perfume cant be love dont be shy. Princess should be in the video that is a good marshmallow note.

[@KoopaTroopa2021]

They now use synthetic musk instead of derived from whale musk so that's why it's lighter. Yay for cruelty free!!

[@elonr1018]

I had no idea I had a new bottle? Was it reformulated?

[@DeliciousDelights]

I haven't heard officially but I'd guess yes :)

[@debramartinez2665]

DUAs Be in Love is a spot on dupe!!!!!!!
