What wearers say
“I own oriana and this has nothing to do with it! Maaaaybe The dry down is similar but I don’t find this to be a dupe. Velvet shadow was a better dupe but pooor performance . The longevity and silage are very very poooor as well . Such a disappointed .”
“This DOES NOT smell like By Kilian Love Don't Be Shy. I wish it did as that's why I bought it and Zara Velvet Shadow, which also doesn't smell like Love Don't Be Shy. I'm a huge proponent of dupes when they're good. Alas, these are not.”
“I’m very surprised that D&G pour femme eau de parfum isn’t listed here. This is almost an exact dupe. I smelled the orange and marshmallow right away. Nice fragrance. It does have that Oriana, Reyna and Velvet Shadow (less intense in this case) DNA but it’s more mature. Sillage and longevity are okay. To be honest, this is a wearable version of those perfumes, and that’s my exact same opinion with the Dolce one.”
