Love, don’t be shy is the first fragrance Kilian Hennessy created for his house, launched in 2007 and composed by Calice Becker. The house describes it as a gourmand that avoids the classic accord of ethyl maltol and patchouli: an orange blossom absolute opens the composition, honeysuckle and rose meet a marshmallow accord, over an amber base.
A refillable white-lacquered bottle, engraved on each side with the shield of Achilles and adorned with a hand-engraved gold plate.
Love, don’t be shy belongs to The Narcotics family, whose bottles the house lacquers in white. Each side bears an engraved depiction of the shield of Achilles; Kilian Hennessy says that in perfumery it is as much about seduction as about protection.
A gold metal plate carries the name of the fragrance, engraved by hand. The house designs the bottle to be refilled indefinitely, using a 50 ml refill.
