I Love Love in Black
Creed LOVE IN BLACK is mainly about violet and cedar to my nose. The cedar is quite natural smelling, and the violet mixed with iris is slightly sweet. I wish that Michelle Obama had picked up a bottle of this rather than LOVE IN WHITE when she was in London not too long after her husband had first been elected president. She should have bought LOVE IN BLACK and painted the White House purple. Yes, indeed, that is what she should have done! Perhaps she declined to buy LOVE IN BLACK because she wanted not to incite racist rioters who would have accused her of promoting a "Black is beautiful" campaign.
In fact, LOVE IN BLACK is beautiful, and a lot more consistently so than LOVE IN WHITE. On a good day, LOVE IN WHITE is good, but there's an unpredictability to that perfume owing to its weird aquatic facet, which works when all of the planets are correctly aligned. Alas, sometimes they are not.
LOVE IN BLACK, in contrast, offers a simple and predictably nice olfactory experience. This is one of the perfumes which I am able to don after a bath and before retiring (along with nearly all of the other Creeds, the "waters" being the exceptions to the rule). I do believe that LOVE IN BLACK features Florentine iris and authentic and powdery cedar, and although the composition is slightly sweet, it is naturally so, with no added sugar. Also conspicuously missing are some of the newfangled "notes" being cooked up in organic chemistry labs--plasticky polymers and the like--as mainstream perfumes become progressively more "abstract".
LOVE IN BLACK is sleek but happily not abstract.
