Is Floral Marshmallow a dupe of Love, Don't Be Shy?

It is inspired by By Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy and shares the orange blossom and marshmallow idea. Reviewers say it is close but lighter and less rich than the original.

How long does it last?

The 18% concentration gives it moderate staying power. Many report several hours on skin, though longevity varies and some find it fades faster.

Is it too sweet for everyday wear?

It is a sweet gourmand floral, so it reads cozy rather than fresh. It works best in cool weather; in heat the marshmallow and vanilla can feel heavy.

Is it for men or women?

It is marketed as a floral and leans feminine, but the amber, vanilla and musk base makes it wearable by anyone who likes sweet scents.

What notes will I smell first?

Marshmallow, neroli and bergamot open it, then orange blossom, honeysuckle, jasmine and orris, settling into amber, vanilla and musk.

What size is the bottle?

It comes in a 50ml eau de parfum bottle.

Where is the Floral Marshmallow cheapest?

Our take on the Floral Marshmallow

Dossier Floral Marshmallow is an eau de parfum built around orange blossom and marshmallow, with neroli and bergamot up top and amber, vanilla and musk underneath. It is a sweet floral gourmand in the style of By Kilian's Love, Don't Be Shy, at a fraction of what the original costs. The 18% concentration gives it real presence on skin. It suits people who want a soft, edible-smelling floral for everyday wear and don't mind a sweet scent. Against designer and niche gourmands it trades some depth and refinement for a simpler, lighter composition.
