Killian, Love Don’t Be Shy smells EXACTLY like a Sweetheart candy you get on Valentine’s Day with the little messages on them & Dossier Floral Marshmallow is a spot on dupe!.

I'm not sure if OP is looking for clones, but Dossier has their clones of Kilian Love Don't Be Shy (called Floral Marshmallow) and Tom Ford Soliel Blanc (called Powdery Coconut).

Dossier Floral Marshmallow is supposed to be inspired by love don’t be shy but it smells more like powdery sweet florals and candy.

I put LDBS on one arm and Dossier on the other and I honestly cannot tell the difference.

In my testing of the real Kilian Love Don’t Be Shy and Dossier’s Floral Marshmallow, they smelled near identical, with the real one having about an hour more longevity.

Floral Marshmallow is supposed to be inspired by Love, Don't Be Shy, not Good Girl Gone Bad.

Floral Marshmallow is a good dupe of Love Don't Be Shy, but I wouldn't say it smells like Rolling in Love.

However, although I really enjoy the fragrance, I don't think it's much of a dupe.
