Creed is known for creating fragrances with substantive compositions and a focus on quality ingredients, positioning themselves as a luxury house with a heritage of craftsmanship.

Love In Black opens with tart cranberry and raspberry, brightened by violet leaf, before settling into a rich floral heart of jasmine, orris, and rose with additional violet. The composition balances sweetness with green, slightly peppery florals. A leather and cedarwood base grounds the fragrance with woody depth and adds subtle animalic warmth, while musk rounds out the finish. The overall effect is a fruity-floral with noticeable leather presence, creating complexity that shifts between sweetness and structural earthiness.

This works well for anyone drawn to feminine florals with an edge. The leather and wood prevent it from reading as purely sweet or delicate, making it suitable for year-round wear and various occasions where a polished but unconventional fragrance makes sense. It aligns with The Romantic, The Hedonist, and The Homesteader sensibilities.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Cranberry
Cranberry
Tart, crisp, and slightly bitter with a red-berry sharpness that is more interesting than simple sweetness. Cranberry reads as clean and slightly citrusy in fragrance, adding a bracing, no-nonsense fruitiness. Used in fresh and aquatic compositions where its tartness adds contrast.
Raspberry
Raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Violet Leaves
Violet Leaves
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Orris
Orris
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Violet
Violet
Sweet, powdery, and faintly green, violet sits between floral and earthy in a way that feels distinctly old-world glamorous. The leaf and the flower smell quite different: the flower is sugary and delicate, while violet leaf is fresh and slightly vegetal. Together they create a note that feels both nostalgic and current.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Cedarwood
Cedarwood
Clean, dry, and pencil-shaving familiar, cedar brings structure without heaviness. Depending on the variety (Atlas, Virginia, Texas), it can range from slightly sweet and waxy to sharply aromatic. It's a workhorse base note that gives woody fragrances their spine, and it's universally flattering on skin.
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
