Love, don't be shy EXTREME - Eau de Parfum

Love the smell! Stays on all day!

I love this smell. Just spray once and it’ll last ALL DAY LONG and sometimes I work 16 hours a day! I’m definitely going to use this perfume a lot. It is a strong smell so don’t spray too much.

Amazing

Strong, powerful, extreme. Has the exact DNA as the original. Everything is elevated thanks to the added Bulgarian rose. The caramel note isn’t as strong as the og, but layer this with the original to create heaven

Definitely a hard pass

A solid no. Most definitely a hard pass. This ain’t it at all. I had high hopes and got it for myself as a birthday gift but I was highly disappointed. It’s smells like old candy and moth balls

LOVE IT!!!

Absolutely LOVE this!!! Was a blind buy, and happily NOT disappointed!!! Beautiful!!

Not Extreme Enough

It’s not anywhere near as good as Love, Don’t Be Shy. It’s missing the sweet part which makes the original so deliciously beautiful.

Nothing compares to the original

It’s not as soft as the original, only reason why I didn’t give it five stars is because it kind of smells like baby scented vasaline.

Love the smell

I purchased a travel sized version of the regular Love Don’t Be Shy and I liked it but I didn’t love it because it lasted all of 30 minutes then I could no longer smell it. I decided to take a gamble on the extreme. I love the smell of this one but just like the original it doesn’t seem to last very long. I was able to smell it for about 3 hours before needing to reapply. The packaging was beautiful.

Smells delicious

Love, love, love it! This Smells so beautiful and has lasting power. Definitely will be a staple perfume for me.

An Extreme Love from me!!

Absolutely wonderful! But you have to like roses and the original Love Don’t Be Shy to appreciate this one. I love the orange blossoms and roses combo in Live Extreme! It is mesmerizing and comforting and just perfect for Spring/Summer!! Longevity: 8 hours Sillage: an arm’s length and I’ve gotten many compliments Price: yes, it’s definitely expensive but to me, it is the smell of luxury…I just love it so much… Season: Spring/Summer but I do not mind wearing it anytime even during the cold months of the year. This is powdery, sweet, floral and beautiful all in the most wonderful way and I, for one, will always have a bottle of this. I cannot be without it in my collection!

The rose really stands out for the first 30-45 min. After that it slowly turns into a stronger and slightly less sweet version of the original. I got scared at first because it was a bit much, but the dry down saved the day. The rose is easy to detect (and tolerate) once you realize what it is, but at first I couldn’t figure out what it was untill I looked at the notes. The other notes turn it into more of a jammy rose with a dash of a fresh cut rose over the OG LDBS dna. The dry down is very similar to the original just stronger. I do miss the caramel, but I’m not mad at this at all. They’re very similar, but it’s kinda worth it to have both if you can afford it. I did a comparison and was surprised at how quickly the OG LDBS disappeared. I never notice this when wearing it, but it’s hard to miss when you compare them. The extreme was settling into its final stage and lasted a few hours longer by the time the OG was gone I think they should just combine the 2 personally. They’re both missing something that the other has, but overall I like it.

I tried the original Love, Don’t Be Shy and while I thought it was intoxicating and couldn’t stop thinking about it, it was just too sweet and cloying for my personal scent preference. I took a chance and blind bought this scent and I’m happy I did. This version absolutely maintains the original DNA but the extra florals in it cuts the sweetness slightly. I would never smell this version and say oh there’s the rose (as a rose perfume lover I have many that are rose prominent). The extra boost of rose and other florals is so well blended that I can’t distinctly pick them out, it just adds a fresher twist to the sweetness of the original. I would say they’re almost similar enough to not need both. If you love the extra dose of sweet go for the original, if you prefer a slightly fresher, less sweet version go with this one.

This isn’t horrible but it’s also not a favorite. It has a major powder dry down- and I’m not sure I like it like I do with the other perfumes from Kilian.
