Overslept in Caltagirone & Not Too Shy For Love
It’s a village in summery Southern Italy. I woke up late and it’s already getting quite hot outside.
I’m standing at the open window in the kitchen of the old stone house, looking directly at an orange tree that is in full bloom, being pampered by the summer sun right outside the window.
In the kitchen, various ingredients are chaotically spread out, used for making pastries and sweets. In the oven, several trays of something sweet are baking. The aromas from the oven mix with the scents of the blooming orange trees, the garden, and the heated grass that are flowing in through the window. "My God...", I think to myself, "how good I have it..."
Last Saturday, I stood in the Montale boutique in Paris in front of the shelf with the 2023 releases.
I think there were five (?) last year. I sniffed three of them - all three are good: Infinity, Holy Neroli, and Lucky Candy. I actually wanted to get something completely different, but in the end, I bought Holy Neroli (+ Infinity Travel Spray). Holy Neroli is exactly what I was looking for. A not too complicated, strong, Mediterranean, sweet summer/summer evening fragrance.
Love Don't Be Shy Perfume
Regarding the similarity to Love Don't Be Shy by Kilian:
I’m holding the bottle with the last drops of the old Love Don't Be Shy and the new bottle of Holy Neroli in my hands. There is the initial similarity of sweet orange blossoms. After that, LDBS goes towards fluffy toffee/marshmallow, while Holy Neroli heads towards spicy petitgrain honey.
One could say that while there is this similar idea of orange blossoms on sweets, it is more robust and perhaps "masculine" in Holy Neroli. This means that Holy Neroli is not a replacement for LDBS, but ladies and gentlemen who like Love Don't Be Shy but find it too "feminine" should definitely give Holy Neroli a try!
P.P.S. with all understanding for different tastes - giving the fragrance a 0.5 is trolling.
