Love in Black is a floral fragrance for women from the workshop of the unique, dynastic and privately owned niche perfume brand Creed. This seductive and simultaneously floral bouquet is a joint project by Olivier Creed, a leading perfumer from the sixth generation of the Creed dynasty, and Erwin Creed, from the seventh generation. They have taken their inspiration from probably the most interesting First Lady of the United States of the 20th century, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, whose mysterious beauty is evoked by the Creed Love in Black fragrance. The fragrance is composed of ingredients from the places this intriguing public figure visited and loved. The aromatic composition of Creed Love in Black opens in the head with notes of Italian violets, Virginia cedar and meadow flowers. The heart contains irises, cloves and musk, while the base consists of tones of blackcurrant and Bulgarian roses. The overall aroma masterfully combines powdery, floral and woody aspects with fruity and war
