What wearers say
“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.”
“This is Love Don't Be Shy but with better longevity and a ton of projection.Always, always get compliments on it and love to layer with it to make some of my freshies a bit more gourmand (if you have Vibrato, I urge you to try the two together. I know, it's crazy but just trust me).”
