Fragrance at a Glance
Creed Love In Black EDP 75ml — Velvet, Violets and Quiet Intrigue
Creed Love In Black EDP 75ml is an opulent floral fragrance with the texture of black velvet and the cool, powdery presence of Parma violets. Violet leaves, raspberry and cranberry create a darkly luminous opening; rose, violet accord, orris butter and jasmine form a richly layered heart; and cedarwood, musk and leathery notes leave a smooth, enigmatic trail.
Presented in a generous 75ml full retail bottle, Love In Black is designed for someone who prefers florals with shadow, structure and individuality. It is romantic without delicacy, sensual without obvious sweetness, and elegant enough to become a distinctive signature fragrance.

A Floral Composition Draped in Black Velvet
Love In Black draws on Creed’s couturier imagination, presenting violet as something tactile and dramatic rather than simply delicate. Tart berries sharpen the floral opening, while rose and jasmine add romance to the heart. Orris butter gives the composition a precious powdery texture, and cedarwood, musk and leather provide a darker frame.
The fragrance succeeds through contrast. Violet feels soft yet mysterious, berries bring light against the darker florals, and the leathery base adds confidence without overwhelming the composition. The effect is poised, unconventional and deeply personal.
The Olfactive Architecture
Violet Leaves, Raspberry and Cranberry: A Darkly Bright Opening
Violet leaves establish a cool green-floral tone, while raspberry and cranberry introduce tart, vivid fruit. The berries cut through the powdery character and create a first impression that feels intriguing rather than overtly sweet.
Rose, Violet Accord, Orris Butter and Jasmine: The Velvet Heart
Violet remains central as the fragrance develops, now surrounded by rose and jasmine. Orris butter adds a refined, almost suede-like powderiness. This heart feels plush and romantic, but the sharper fruit from the opening prevents it from becoming too soft.
Cedarwood, Musk and Leather: The Shadowed Base
Cedarwood gives the composition a clean woody structure, musk smooths the florals against the skin, and leathery notes add depth and quiet sensuality. The dry-down feels elegant and intimate, leaving a sophisticated impression rather than a heavy trail.
How Love In Black Develops on Skin
The opening is cool, violet-led and brightened by tart berries. Through the heart, rose, jasmine and orris create a fuller floral texture. As the fragrance settles, cedarwood, musk and leather become more apparent, drawing the composition closer to the skin and giving it a darker, smoother finish.
Cool New Zealand weather can emphasise the violet, orris and leather, while warmer skin may bring the berries, rose and musk forward. Body chemistry may shift the fragrance towards a more floral, powdery or woody expression.
Who Should Choose Creed Love In Black?
Love In Black suits someone who enjoys violet, orris and florals with a mysterious, unconventional character. It is especially compelling for wearers who want something more introspective than a bright white floral and less sweet than a typical fruity gourmand.
Choose Love In Black when you want powdery florals, dark elegance and a subtle leathery finish. For a richer fruit-and-amber composition, explore Creed Carmina. For a brighter summer floral, consider Creed Love in White for Summer.
When to Wear It in New Zealand
Love In Black is particularly beautiful through autumn, winter and cooler spring evenings. It suits dinners, formal events, theatre, weddings, cocktail occasions, date nights and distinctive signature wear. A lighter application can also work in refined daytime or office settings.
Its velvet-like floral character pairs naturally with dark tailoring, silk, knitwear, structured coats, elegant dresses and evening accessories. Begin with two or three sprays in close environments and allow the violet and orris to unfold gradually.

How to Apply and Care for Love In Black
