Love Don't Be Shy Extreme

Love Don't Be Shy Extreme by By Kilian offers a brighter, more floral interpretation of the original gourmand fragrance. It emphasizes Bulgarian rose, adding a dewy, powdery floral layer that tones down the sweetness while enhancing the fragrance's complexity. The scent unfolds with vibrant citrus and neroli at the top, followed by a lush, soft rose bouquet paired with vanilla, marshmallow, and orange blossom. The drydown features a creamy, slightly minty powderiness, evoking high-end Turkish delights, rose water, and candied orange. Performance is strong—lasting well over eight hours on skin and lingering on clothing—with moderate sillage that remains noticeable without overwhelming. This version is particularly suited to spring and summer, aligning with lighter temperature preferences and offering a more mature, perfumey feel than the original. While some find the rose note dusty or overpowering, others appreciate its floral balance, highlighting a more refined, less cloying experience compared to the original's syrupy depth.
