Where people disagree

• “After 30 mins it did dry down to a powdery sweet DNA that somewhat resembles LDBS. After 1 hour it hangs a lot closer to the skin, I got my mom to take a “whiff” and you couldn’t even tell I was wearing anything. I don’t mind a skin scent j”

Where people agree

• “Parfums de Marly- Oriana I was nervous this smelled too similar to Kilian’s Love Don’t Be Shy, which I also own. However, they are different, especially as they dry down. I would say they’re like cousins.”

Where people disagree

• “I was excited to try it after reading lots of good reviews comparing it favorably to LDBS, but it was not for me.”

  reddit ↗

• “Oriana is supposed to be quite similar to LDBS - I didn’t like this one, on me personally it was very dense, heavy, and overly sweet.”

  reddit ↗

• “I would also give PDM big praise for Oriana, if it weren't for the fact that they basically just copied Love Don't Be Shy's homework on that one, IMO. Some fragrances smell similar in a way where I believe it wasn't the whole plan, but Oria”

  reddit ↗

• “I didn’t like oriana either or anything with orange and marshmallow. It reminds me of killian love don’t be shy why I also don’t like.”

  reddit ↗

• “Oriana was less sweet and smelt like pure powder on me. It smelled more mature, like maybe the older version of someone who once wore LDBS.”
