Love, don't be shy begins with the luminous freshness of neroli, immediately softened by honeysuckle and a velvety rose. The composition then takes on the texture of confectionery: the marshmallow accord wraps the flowers in an almost powdery sweetness.
The base, carried by rockrose, leaves a sensual amber warmth. A playful, tender floral gourmand that became one of the house's emblems.

Love, don't be shy in detail
Kilian Paris, founded by Kilian Hennessy, heir to a great cognac family, cultivates a perfumery of seduction and night. Love, don't be shy, signed by Calice Becker, is its most tender side: a gourmand floral that plays with the idea of confectionery.
The official pyramid is short and clear. The top opens on neroli, the blossom of the bitter orange tree, bright and slightly bitter. The heart pairs rose and honeysuckle, two flowers with a soft, honeyed scent. The base brings together marshmallow, which gives the fragrance its sweet, fluffy side, and labdanum, an amber resin that keeps it from being merely gourmand.
Love, don't be shy is worn in autumn, winter and spring, by day or by night: a date, a party, a day when you feel like something soft.
Three florals in our catalogue share some of its materials: Birth of Venus by Argos brings together rose and labdanum; 1804 George Sand by Histoires de Parfums and Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums Privés also place rose at the centre of their composition.
