Marshmallow Extrait

This is what I imagine a pink Parisian apartment to smell like. A princess lives there, she wears pink, drinks tea by the window, and everything around her is soft and delicate. It’s very pretty, very fluffy. I can see the similarity with Oriana and LDBS, but Marshmallow Extrait doesn’t have the civet or licorice notes that I personally dislike in LDBS, and overall it’s more vanilla-infused than Oriana. It’s clearly much more marshmallow. The scent is exactly what pink marshmallow would smell like. The rose isn’t dominant, it just adds that “pink” touch and a hint of freshness that keeps the sweetness elevated and elegant. It’s definitely a pink princess gourmand, and if you love that kind of fragrance, you’ll most likely fall head over heels for Marshmallow Extrait. I can totally imagine Caroline Stern being obsessed with this one. 💕

This actually goes beyond LDBS for me. It doesn’t have the dirty civet note or the licorice, and that really makes a difference. It’s also more gourmand, and you can really smell the vanilla way more. And honestly, in this economy, Marshmallow Extrait is $155 and LDBS is $295, basically double the price. Plus, for the price of one Kilian, you can get Marshmallow Maracuja too, and that one is an even better marshmallow scent in my opinion. So no, don’t skip it. If you love LDBS, you will definitely adore Marshmallow Extrait (and Marshmallow Maracuja)

although some think it smells like LDBS, i actually think this is an Oriana dupe. its fluffy and light instead of dense like LDBS. smells great for the price no matter which you think it smells like.

holy 90% accurate ldbs dupe. i just dont get any civet and its a bit more powdery than i expected. this and clean vanilla were my favorite out of all the samples i tried

So I do actually enjoy sweet perfumes and I think I'm partial to gourmands but this is just wee bit too sweet for me, personally. Maybe I oversprayed. That being said, I think this would work well layered with something not sweet. Maybe to sweeten up something a bit fresh or woody. But if you really want to smell like marshmallow go for this. It's super sweet and has a decent longevity.
