Sweet Addict

This perfume is incredible. Oakcha is incredible. This was the first fragrance I bought from them and I have to say, WOW. Their forumulations are high quality. The lasting power is real. I thought the raves about them were hype via influencers influencing, but it's not. The quality is amazing. They save money via simple packaging which I really like. This perfume in particular is spot on as a dupe, if that matters to you. It also smells like ORIANA by Parfums de Marly, but it's just a gorgeous scent on its own and it just sprays so well and lingers nicely. I think initially, it has a woody opening that goes away after a minute or two. The amount of oil is appreciated! Thank you Oakcha. You are so wonderful for making great perfumes that are VEGAN (yes that matters to some of us) and the prices are amazing during a time when people are living on tight budgets.

I just received a bottle of this today. I am not a huge fan of the opening notes, but as it settles on my skin, I like it a lot more. The sweetness of the marshmallow mixed with the Sensual musky Face notes really smell nice on my skin however, there is no longevity. I do not smell this on my arm for longer than an hour and there is no projection is just on my skin. I’m gonna try it on my daughter and see if it’s any different on her. I just wish that it would project a little bit better and I wish that it lasted longer. Other than that it smells a lot like the original I want to say, almost Identical and I really like it a lot.

This is my favourite Love Don’t be Shy dupe (for now). The sweetness from the marshmallow is very similar to LDBS, but I get very strong florals in the drydown of LDBS that I don’t get in Sweet Addict. That being said, I do get a greenish note that I can only assume is the neroli in Sweet Addict that isn’t as noticeable to me in LDBS, but it’s quite faint and it thankfully fades in 15-30 minutes. I don’t get any pink pepper, bergamot, rose, musk, or civet here. Has minimal sillage and lasts all day.

Not sure why this one gets hate, it’s absolutely beautiful! On the first spray, you do get the pink pepper right away but it goes away almost instantly. On the dry down, it turns into this yummy marshmallow that LDBS is famous for. I agree it’s not an exact dupe, but for the price it cannot be beat if you’re looking for a similar scent profile. Also I don’t get any of the animalistic notes that people are talking about. I highly recommend this perfume if you love gourmand.

Twin sister of LDBS and an amazing long lasting affordable dupe. However you need to let this one dry down, as the initial spray took me back a little bit, it was very peppery and heavy on the florals, it was quite sharp, however the dry down is absolutely incredible. DELICIOUS! It’s the pink powdery fluffy squishy marshmallows that I love from the LDBS perfume. If you can get past the initial spray it’s worth it in my opinion (I have the black bottle)

This is a beautiful dupe for Love Don't Be Shy! I can't bring myself to pay the big bucks to buy Kilian so this satisfies the need for LDBS for me perfectly! It's not as strong/in your face as Kilian but I'm perfectly okay with that.

Spray this on one wrist, went to Sephora and sprayed LDBS on the other wrist. Couldn't tell a difference, and it lasted all day! Initial spray does smell off though...gotta give it a minute for the beauty to come through!

This fragrance without doubt is one of my favs. To my nose absolutely smells like Love Don't Be Shy By Killian!! Sweet Addict by Oakcha is a great alternative. Wish it came in a bigger a botte.

I smell rice crispies treats coated with fruity pebbles, sonic keep going back to eat daily.

It's nice. I've never smelled original. So I can't say if it's a good dupe or not.

this perfume is INCREDIBLE once dried down! opening is pure incense, its not gag worthy, but its the lady working at the crystal shop incense. It’s pretty but not very desirable. rose and pink pepper is most noticeable here. a few seconds later (20-30) the bergamot comes through and rose becomes stronger, slightly masking the incense. the heart notes are spot on, marshmallow being strongest. THOUGH, this marshmallow isn’t a sweet girly marshmallow! its dry down is strong marshmallow, vanilla pinched in there, white musk blending it together. this perfume is sexy, mature and definitely a dinner time date perfume yet could pass as a great office perfume, makes you feel very confident. tldr: opening isn’t for the weak, if you can get over that, YOU. WILL. LOVE. IT.

I bought this because I loved the 2 ml decanter I had of LDBS. I was a bit apprehensive after reading the comments in here and did half way expect a chemical mess that hardly smelled like the OG, but I was pleasantly surprised. It does have a harsh opening that has a synthetic, soapy odour to it, but after a few minutes on the skin that wears of and I'm left with the things I love about LDBS. It doesn't last as long though, but that's ok, it's cheap enough that I can just buy more, hehe. I also love layering this with D&G Devotion! It's a very interesting and addicting sweet combo that my husband and I both love on me.

The Jasmine in this punches you in the face... and I usually am not a fan of Jasmine. Something about it smells, well... for lack of better word... like poop to my nose, lol. Literal poop, so I avoid it at all cost. The dry down is better; very floral, powdery, creamy. If it didn't have the Jasmine, I would buy again. Praise The Perfume is very similar, except without the Jasmine. I love PTP! I usually layer PTP with this one, or with Maison Alhambra's Reyna, which has the sweet, powdery citrus that I love.

opening notes are harsh but dries down to a warm subtle sweetness after - was not expecting the heavy powdery scent. A great and pretty affordable introduction for those looking to get into more niche scent profiles like myself :) love getting whiffs of it on myself during the day and nice choice for uni (in moderation lol)

Way more pink peppery than the original. Before I got dossier and LDBS I would spray this on my clothes and wait for that note to go away.. then it was fine! It is definitely not the best dupe.

good dupe of LDBS, nothing more to be said.

I am kind of disapointed to be honest. I remember loving Love Don't Be Shy in stores. And while the dry down is a little closer I feel like I'm missing some significant notes here. It reads really really Jasmine forward and I don't truly enjoy that. The marshmallow notes subtle where as in the original I find that it is very sweet and vanillic. This feels to me like floral jasmine and orange blossom perfume that is poorly balanced with a little hint of marshmallow. I don't get bergamont, I barely get pepper, and if I sniff really hard I get marshmallow and vanilla. Still on the search for a good dupe.

This perfume smells like pure pink pepper on me. It’s incredibly spicy on my skin and has a strong rose scent. Barely any sweetness on me. It’s not bad. It’s just not for me. I gave my bottle to a friend and it smells completely different on her, and she now wears this as her signature scent. It’s pure sweetness, mildly spicy and a touch floral. It smells amazing on her. I’ve had a sample of Love, Don’t Be Shy, and this is as close as you could get to the original. It’s almost identical. I wish I could love it, but it doesn’t work for me.

I originally purchased this for myself as a blind buy. I had never smelt LDBS but had heard such wonderful things. I wasn't a fan upon smelling it so I sat it to the side. My 18yo who DOES know what LBDS smells like said it was amazingly close. She drained the bottle and had been asking for another and we both were so happy when I received one as a 'mystery' gift. For me and my family so far Oakcha has had THE BEST dupes we have tried.
