The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 10 June 2020 14 Comments

By Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy ("Love, Don’t Be Shy implores you at the opening with tender orange-blossom absolute. Juicy honeysuckle and plush rose are softly caressed by the sweetness of luscious marshmallow-sugar accord, satisfying the craving pang of new love. A warm amber base lends a touch of sensuality. From rose to tuberose, from orange blossom to gardenia Kilian flowers are composed like a narcotic dependence.") in a 7.5 ml travel spray. $48 at Sephora.

    WANT!

    This is such a trashy scent for a Kilian, and one of my favourites from the line.

      I hope they will do more of these. If they do Prelude to Love, I will buy it for sure. I can’t remember this one all that well, but I will try to smell it again…pretty sure I have a sample somewhere.

        I doubt it’s to your liking, as it is incredibly sweet, it’s fun though. Most BK’s are a bit solemn (if that makes sense).

          Yeah, that might be why I don’t remember it well 🙂

        I bought a travel set with 4 different BK’s last year. Back to Black, Love, Sweet Redemption and A Taste of Heaven. I might want a FB of Love after I finish the travel spray. It’s very good, and unlike anything else.

    I predice this will sell well for Sephora – esp as it’s been publicized as Rihanna’s go to fragrance and that everyone says she smells amazing.

      Ah, maybe that’s why they have it…

      Except the Rihanna version seems to be $1,000 per bottle (don’t know size) and I tend to think it’s not the $20 toilet seat costing $1,000 in reverse (from a cost standpoint, not smell).

        Are you saying BK makes a special version for her? That’s interesting.

          It’s possible I may her misread…she could have bought or was gifted the ginormous carafe size.

    Ooo I like this one and that is a good size. A bit candy-like but with a crackling plot.

    I wish that Chanel would do this with the Les Exclusifs line. I am happy that more and more lines are doing this and having more options when dealing with travel sprays.
