Rose Marshmallow Candy

Notes & Nuances

Zara's Rose Marshmallow Candy is clearly gunning for Love, Don't Be Shy. And it gets pretty close. The opening is a blast of sweet neroli and sugary orange blossom, just like Kilian's. There's a slight synthetic edge here that you won't find in the original, but it's not off-putting. The heart maintains that candied orange blossom, with a hint of jasmine. The dry down is where it veers slightly. Instead of the richer, amber-y base of LDBS, you get a more straightforward sugary-vanilla. I'd say it captures around 83% of the original vibe.

Is it Worth It?

If you're curious about Love, Don't Be Shy but can't stomach the price tag, Zara's Rose Marshmallow Candy is a solid option. It's a sweet, playful fragrance perfect for daytime wear, especially in spring and fall. Unless you absolutely need that extra bit of refinement and longevity, this clone delivers a similar experience . Grab it! It's a fun, uncomplicated, sweet treat.

Longevity & Projection

Don't expect beast mode. Rose Marshmallow Candy projects moderately for the first hour or two, then settles closer to the skin. On my skin, I get about 4-5 hours of noticeable wear. It's a skin scent by hour six. Perfectly acceptable point.
