Love, Don't Be Shy Eau Fraîche

Yay!! She is finally here!!! Do you know how long I have been waiting for this? Years!!!✨🥳🎉🎉🎉 This is absolutely gorgeous! A much more wearable Love, Don’t be Shy, there is still the sweetness from the marshmallow note but a true “airiness” and luminosity from the “greener” notes that open this fragrance. The neroli and petit grain are so deliciously decadent, I am so happy to smell these notes! The marshmallow and musks come later and the scent becomes softer and slightly powdery as it dries down. The longevity is decent; 5 hours, I’d say. But the skin scent after that is wonderful and oh so cozy!!! Projection/Sillage: moderate. This isn’t the OG, it doesn’t radiate like it. It’s subtle and I L O V E I T !!!!! Price: yes, it’s Kilian...I had a ‘use it once’ 15% off code with Nieman Marcus so that helped a little but yeah, it’s freaking expensive 😓 Season: Spring, Summer and even early Fall. Beautiful and airy and greener. This is a beautiful fragrance, I am very happy to finally have it in my little collection! It is a gem and I am wearing this Baby on heavy rotation 🥳🥳🥳

Love Eau Fraiche is truly the lighter, more delicate version, while still capturing the DNA of the original. It is a warm, floral marshmallow with a delicate touch. The whole fragrance line is addictive to me, but Eau Fraiche is less cloying (to others, I love sweet fragrances) and I don't worry that I am giving people headaches. This is especially true in warmer weather or indoors with a lot of people. It has slightly less longevity (lasts 4-6hrs) and sillage is moderate. I get lots of compliments! It is a more flirty, playful scent rather than a sex bomb fragrance. It is much more expensive than it should be, but that's Kilian and a lot of other fragrance houses these days, unfortunately. I don't have enough money for a full bottle, but I keep buying travel sizes because it's just such a pleasing, easy to wear perfume that I always get compliments on. I've realized I've gone through more of Eau Fraiche and the original than I have any other fragrance in my collection.

This one is a very nice version of the original , it’s much greener with more neroli and dominant orange blossom in the opening. It almost is a silk layer of portofino ( TF) layered over the original Love , minus the chivet. It’s very beautiful and has more of a cologne vibe yet it unmistakably resembles Love. The bottle suits the scent perfect it’s a lighter brighter fresher marshmallow scent almost like an edt of the original. I don’t like it AS much as the original but I still love it as it’s better for daytime and it’s nice to spray onto clothes and hair which I don’t like doing with the orig red juice. This one is a limited addition to celebrate Loves 10 th anniversary :) As this dries down it’s almost the same as the original , super creamy amd musky. As it dries down it’s a huge love for me and equal to orig. without the chivet. Winner! Too bad it’s limited.

I'm obsessed with this scent. I've been on the lookout for airy, light, ethereal 'princess' scents with decent projection and longevity. And I got exactly that. On my skin it opens up as fresh sugary white flowers, and dries down sweet and fluffy without being cloying. Definitely a fragrance that needs to macerate, the marshmallow note is much more prominent in the sample I got than the new bottle. Can't wait to try more eau fraîche scents by Kilian. Update July 2024- Wow, I have to say- allow the fragrance to macerate! The bottle I have just keeps getting better and better, the scent isn't as fleeting anymore and the marshmallow note is developing beautifully. It's becoming less green without losing its initial burst of freshness and the white flowers are still present but more in the background.

I think it's interesting that everyone says this is a less sweet version of LDBS because this is just a fresh, squishy marshmallow on me. I smell nothing other than that after the initial dry-down, but I am not complaining. I wanted LDBS to be sweeter and softer, so this is perfect. I think it lasts decently long, about 5 hours, and it's strong enough to be smelled by others. I do think this will be too sweet in 90+ degree weather so I won't be wearing this in the summer, but there are 3 other seasons. To me, I smell like I just spent all day in the kitchen, making marshmallows for my loved ones.

Fresh and light and, in my opinion, a much better version than the original which is a real sweet-bomb. I would see this as a unisex perfume (I'm a guy) and on my skin, the neroli really shines in the beginning, and it lingers. The freesia, jasmine and musk leaves a nice drydown. Although the vanilla/marshmallow is still there, it doesn't dominate the drydown. Staying power is moderate and sillage is average. In short, it's a really nice spring perfume for me. I like it.

Probably one of my favourite from the Love line. This is a more muskier, drier Love. I love how the original DNA is present but watered down in the best way. Like if the fragrance has settled on your skin already for hours and it’s faint, but the musks help levitate this and make it alive. A great option for men in my opinion. The dry down has me constantly smelling myself to catch that polarizing whiff. 9/10

I love this reimagining of LDBS. It has lifted the weight out of the original, which I do love but it is very heavy and really a winter evening scent for me. I will wear this in all but the hottest weather. It is the perfect, relaxing Sunday fragrance to curl up with and enjoy a book or some junk food TV. I would never wear this to the office because I couldn’t bear this beauty to be contaminated by stress.

Obsesseeedddddddd. Can't stop smelling it. This is veerrryyy sweet so you have to like sweet frags. To me this smells like this very thin saffron sugar that they serve in some eastern country's. In the Netherlands we call it engelenhaar. It smells like an almost burnt incense version of this type of sugar. This to me is def a evening fragrance or fall/winter. Super dark and sweet.

Love this heavenly scent 💕 This smells exactly like the OG, but less cloying and no danger of overspraying. I can only spray the OG twice max, otherwise the sweetness is almost nauseating even though I love the scent profile. With Eau fraiche, I think its more wearable and versatile for any occasion. It feels fuzzier and softer, but just as long lasting as the OG. 💕

I much prefer this to the original Love, Don't be Shy (the regular LDBS has a licoricey undertone on my skin that happily isn't present here). This is a neroli-smothered sugared marshmallow, very light and golden. Low sillage and not a lot of oomph-per-spray, but a beautiful scent nonetheless.

taking back my previous review, this is AMAZING. i dont know if its because my sample of it has been sitting for months, but this is truly gorgeous, its not the original love dont be shy but it is sexy in the same way. beautiful beautiful beautiful.

The first half hour smells like chalky purple Flintstone vitamins, but try not to judge it so soon! It dries down into a warm cookies n' cream white chocolate scent. If you are a sweet chocolate and vanilla lover, this may very well be for you.

I love this so much better than the original! The original is SO sweet. This is still sweet-still a gourmand but it’s lighter and fresher and easy to wear in warm weather. If you love the original this is a safe blind buy. 10 out of 10 for me!!

Need this! I received a sample of this two years ago and I still think about it. If you love light and fresh florals with a drop of fluffy sweetness you need to try this. Created by my all time favorite perfumer. She has an amazing nose.

Oh. My. Goodness. She is back!!!!!!! Available now at Neiman and Saks online!!!!! Just ordered mine and will be back for an update!!!!! Also available next month will be Kilian Princess Eau Fraîche!!!!! Yay!! I. Am. So. Happy. (⌒▽⌒)

Muuuuch better than the original. I thought I would hate this smell but the marshmallows accord is not at all “mall scent” or bath body works. It’s very very high quality . I would love this on my S.O.

Located in US. Would love to purchase a decant or partial. Don’t need a full bottle I think.. But yeah, shoot me a message! Spray mechanism preferred please!

Its light and airy. I can barley smell it on myself but others can, so it leaves a nice trail

NEROLI OVERLOAD. hated it. i couldn’t wait for the dry down as i instantly got a headache :(
