About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Love in Black is a 2008 floral from Creed that opens with Italian violet, Virginia cedar, and wildflowers. The top is bright yet dry, with violet's powdery sweetness tempered by cedar's woody edge. As it settles, the heart reveals iris, musk, and cloves—a cool, slightly spicy trio that deepens the floral core. The base of black currant and Bulgarian rose adds a dark, fruity richness, though the overall effect remains powdery and violet-centric, as reflected in its accords.

This scent suits collectors who appreciate vintage-style, powdery florals with a woody backbone. It's not a loud fragrance; rather, it's intimate and refined, ideal for daytime wear or elegant evenings. The violet and iris combination gives it a nostalgic, almost cosmetic feel, while the black currant and rose prevent it from becoming too sweet. If you enjoy classic Creeds like Fleurissimo but want something darker and more mysterious, Love in Black is worth seeking out. It performs best in cooler weather and feels particularly at home in spring or autumn.

中文簡介

Love in Black 係 Creed 2008 年推出嘅女性花香調香水。前調以意大利紫羅蘭、維珍尼亞雪松同野花開場,粉感中帶木質乾爽。中調鳶尾、麝香同丁香交織,冷冽微辛,令花香核心更立體。基調黑加侖子同保加利亞玫瑰添上深色果香,但整體依然以粉感同紫羅蘭為主導。

呢支香適合鍾意復古粉質花香、又想要木質底蘊嘅收藏家。氣質內斂優雅,唔會太張揚,日間或優雅晚宴都啱用。紫羅蘭同鳶尾帶嚟懷舊化妝品感,黑加侖子同玫瑰平衡甜度。如果你鍾意 Fleurissimo 但想試吓更神秘深沉嘅版本,呢支值得留意。涼爽天氣表現最佳,春秋季節尤其合適。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
