The more marshmallow scents the better and more beautiful!:D
I think it's no secret anymore that I LOVED marshmallow scents!:D
The first marshmallow fragrance that always blows me away to this day is the Kilian Love Don't Be Shy...
I think I do not have to say so much about it except that every time I spray on or wear this paradise fragrance on cloud 7. float and because the whole day just happy and satisfied:))
The Princess is also a Divine and seductive marshmallow fragrance is but lighter and creamier as but also fluffier than the LDBS.
Dragee of Reminiscence is indeed an almond fragrance BUT although no marshmallow note is listed in the fragrance pyramid, I smell the hidden marshmallow note much more intense out like the almond note.
The dragee is also a beautiful and gorgeous marshmallow fragrance that goes very much in the direction of Kilian LDBS, but is not a dupe.
Giorgio Armani Si Fiori is also a beautiful and fluffy as well as very, very creamy and noble marshmallow fragrance that is accompanied by very feminine and gentle floral notes.
So why do I list all these treasures now?
To make it short, I know from many as well as from myself that, the Kilian Love Don't Be Shy is simply very expensive or does not fit into the budget....
I wanted to find a fragrance that also really just as convincing as but also almost 1zu1 like the LDBS smells.
And as always, this is a challenge for yourself to find a dupe that really smells like the beloved perfume which you can not afford or even want, or even worse if the fragrance is no longer produced / sold.
Clearly no fragrance smells 1zu1 like another but, this difference is hardly perceived by our fellow much more by ourselves or better said by us fragrance noses;D
However, the search has made fun (for me each fals:D) because I could discover on this fragrance journey more scent treasures for me. (I was mainly just looking for marshmallow scents)
I was found by a very, very dear and appreciated Parfuma namely the dear Elenasmom:))
If you read this many thanks again for the great recommendation:)
I got a hint that, the Classique Pin-Up of JPG is a good dupe (if I may call it so) or at least a very good alternative to Kilian LDBS.
Admittedly, in the beginning I was very, very unsure whether this fragrance would appeal to me because I have often read that the ginger note is presenter than all other fragrances.
The stupid thing about the whole thing, however, is the Classique Pin-Up is / was a limited perfume and I missed that ...
But I could then still get hold of a filling of it me so I can test it at least:))
Since I still have a good amount of filling of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy and now still have a nice filling of JPG Classique Pin-Up I can make a small comparison / write:))
I will now compare both to see if the Pin-Up is really a good dupe to the LDBS:))

The fragrance...

JPG Classique Pin-Up (top note): Starts with a very presenten ginger note that tingles at the beginning a bischen in the nose but at the same time for example in the morning can be very refreshing;))
The lemon note gives the fragrance a very fine freshness:)

Kilian Love Don't Be Shy (top note): Also starts with a refreshing orange blossom note that wonderfully brings a fine Juicy Nectar note with it*.*
The marshmallow note is not long in coming and presents itself already in the top note from the most beautiful side.

JPG Classique Pin-Up (heart note): And there finally came the hoped-for marshmallow note!*.*
Something I must say I am speechless! Soooo wonderfully creamy, fluffy discreetly creamy and milky at the same time.... The marshmallow note at Pin Up melts into the skin like the LDBS.
In LDBS, the marshmallow note is accompanied by a dark caramel note, Pin Up, however, is a pure marshmallow fragrance with LDBS DNA.
The orange blossom slowly but very gently approaches the marshmallow note which I personally like very, very much!*.*
Although no rose note is listed I mean a very gentle but equally velvety and delicate rose note to smell out BUT as already mentioned in the Pin Up is the marshmallow note most present and most intense to smell.

Kilian Love Don't Be Shy (heart+base note): Marshmallow, velvety roses paired with dark caramel note that brings a mysterious depth.
The orange blossom is still present and melds with every single note to create a magical and sensual progression like no other! Especially on my skin it is simply for me like a magic that touches my soul every time anew!*.*
JPG Classique Pin-Up (base note): Even there the marshmallow paradise on my skin can not be smelled away*.*
The vanilla I can also slowly hear but very delicate and powdery.
Vanilla powder is sprinkled over the marshmallow and next to the marshmallow mountain are placed fine but fragrant orange blossoms.... I can only say it is addictive and seduces downright!:D
I can only say one thing both are worthy to be included in any perfume collection!
Especially if you like it sweet especially if you have like me a great love for marshmallow scents.:))
And yes the Pin Up is a very good alternative to the LDBS especially if you like to save.
The H+S is very good especially on the clothes until the next day noticeable.
I just say I'm just happy to have discovered such a beautiful fragrance that gives me great pleasure every time I spray on but also seduces!;))

The ONE fragrance...
Since I dared my jump into the rabbit hole of fragrance arts 3 years ago, I was allowed to discover a lot. For a long time, all fragrances smelled the same to me - no matter what I sniffed in the standard perfumeries, everything was quasi La Vie est Belle L'Eau de Parfum for me. Thanks to Parfumo, and the great samples and sharings here, completely new worlds opened up.

I tried me through umpteen brands, niche - from Amouage to XerJoff- and Indie, extreeem expensive fragrances and extreeeem hard to get fragrances (hello "box | Slumberhouse" ). Fell in love countless times, saw new horizons and fragrances that I have never smelled.
Nevertheless, I never found the ONE fragrance that captivated me so much that I only want to smell him.

Then, quite unexpectedly, after a question about possible relatives of Mon Précieux Nectar, was recommended to me in the forum Classique Pin-Up. Ok, why not order - after all, I had already bought quite other price categories blind. I liked the Guerlain, this one should last longer. The reviews are ok. Why not test - sell in the souk if necessary.

When it arrived, the bottle was already seeehr kitschy and the lemon ginger note to start a bit strange. But at the same time "merk-würdig". Everything that came after was terrific!!!! An adult marshmallow hint with pleasant vanilla and feminine soft orange blossom envelops me. Carried by ambergris, my favorite scent note, which I perceive here only in a way that makes me subliminally addicted without being animalic or intrusive. Still, it's not mundane or standard. He could be qualitatively definitely niche.

Pin Up is ME! Soft, friendly, sweet without being tacky, cuddly warm, but completely without kitsch! Not intrusive, just wonderfully fluffy without being childish. A pure feminine dream. And that, where he is so not at all hyped.

He holds with me all day and is perceptible, but never intrusive. A fine sillage he has, but completely within the framework. Perfect! An Immergeher, which works on the job just as when cuddling. I just want to smell SO.

So it happened that after a 3-year fragrance journey, Ms. Silverwheel chose a banal designer flanker as her signature scent. And that, after she has never tolerated JPG fragrances and has long sworn off the subject of "signature" due to the variety of fragrances ("why should you wear only ONE fragrance?? How boring!")

Sometimes it does not need a rational answer to the question. Since you wear the fragrance simply in 2 months as often as other "favorite fragrances" in 2 years. Sometimes a fragrance simply finds you and takes you in Beschlag. You no longer ask yourself what you want to wear in the morning, you spray automatically. And cradle yourself in the fluffy bliss of your great fragrance love. Ok, from time to time I still go "foreign", but I always come back in the evening at the latest. ;-)

I am curious how long this great love lasts. One thing she deserves but in any case: its own review!!! So herewith Pin-Up is warmly recommended to all who like soft, feminine-cuddly, compatible and yet extraordinary fragrances - especially now in autumn. I think in any case, we will still have a lot of fun together.
