I’ve always avoided the House of Creed because of price. But then I read that this was Michelle Obama’s favorite so I bought my first Creed decant.
I like it but the jury is still out: that’s a lot of $ for a white floral scent that stays one dimensional on my skin, only fading over time. Soft and powdery, I can’t pick out anything but magnolia (or what I think is magnolia). I don’t smell PlayDoh but I do pick up on a synthetic note. Ends up feeling a little sharp to my nose.
I’m going to keep my decant and try this again in warmer weather, but for now it’s not on my wish list.
wasiliyzinenko – :
Sample is here, seems very unisex now that I can get a good dose on me. The rice/PlayDoh exists like I had hoped, with lots of flowers and citrus on top and also a strong clean-detergent vibe. I don’t see this scent, while nice, as white or love. What I pictured was sort of a wedding day scent. At the current cost, a bottle will never be mine unless I am very lucky, ah well.
Funny note: Luca Turin hates this for some reason and describes it as “burial wreath.” His description goes even further, lol!
===
I have a sample of this coming and will update. Said to be worn by Michelle Obama, and you here have also mentioned Angelina Jolie and Laura Bush wearing it. I was intrigued by it being on a PlayDoh note list and by the description as a white floriental with creaminess. I think it is the rice/milky note that drives me crazy with its PlayDohi-shness.
How many samples do you order a month? How does one stop? I read about fragrance so much but don’t live near a major city where I can smell more things.
sagElistBeats – :
I think I was swayed by the marketing, but I had convinced myself this would be my signature scent. I tried it instore and glad I did that before committing to buying it.
On paper, it smelled ok, nice and light but probably replaceable. A light powdery seaside scent that dried down to a soft musk.
I tested it in store on skin, boy all I could smell was coriander. I enjoy eating it with other food but smelling it? Not nice.
Meoqx657JeomiWogkig – :
Pros: The rice note smells like actual dry rice
Cons: I find the smell of dry rice absolutely disgusting
bvp485JeomiWogkig – :
I’m glad I bought a decant.
Is it pretty. Yes. But is it gorgeous, heart stopping, worth the cost pretty? No. In fact I have far prettier white florals than this.
It is light, it is very polite, clean, and gentle. I’ll give it that. You could wear this anywhere and no one would be offended. But I feel like there are dozens (hundreds) of pretty, inoffensive white florals that cost a tiny fraction of this. Some of them are also more interesting.
kowalehko 1983 – :
I don’t think I could ever pay the hefty price tags for a FB of this amazing stuff, but man… am I tempted. For now, I will settle for small samples for 20$ a pop. This is simple, but elegant and soapy white floral happiness! I love it! I will save it for weddings and other fancy, fancy occasions. I wish I had tried this one before I got married! Floral bliss!
Serg19850 – :
I have a full bottle of this if anyone is looking for it.
Gerlaves – :
It is hard to describe this fragrance, yet the feeling i had when i was wearing it was naturally elegant.
Something smooth, something classy and fresh flowery wibe.
Dont know why its called love in white, does not suit much.
But i recommed to check this scent.
Xeroxudgis – :
Test before you buy, this is a love or hate perfume. All I get is a very strong milky detergent smell that makes me nauseous. Sadly it didn’t settle down or evolve on my skin like other Creed offerings. The scent does have incredible lasting power, though… if you do like this.
buy flagyl – :
This is my signature scent. Lovely and long lasting. It has the best chemistry with my body and skin. My most complimented perfume. A friend told me once, they knew I came already because they smelled my scent in the elevator. They adore white in love because of me. Heavenly sweet smell of sophistication and very classy.
anaenuediox – :
This fragrance is aggressive. It is sharp, it gets me nauseous and sneezy.
At the first moment, it was so familiar to me and although there are completely other notes, it smelled totally tropical to me. And then it hit me: Escada! I haven’t smelled them since they were out, so I don’t really remember exactly how they smelled, but it reminds me of Escada Rock in rio or maybe Sunset heat. Don’t know which one, I know it was around 2005 and it had an orange bottle. According to the notes, this is impossible, but for my nose it is so familiar.
Later, it fades and it gets floral. Bad, cheap floral, nothing special. There is only one phase where this perfume is (only) nice, where there is fine balance between flowers, orange and rice, otherwise, I do not find anything beautiful in it.
нэцкэ – :
imagery: bright icicle. clinky glasses filled with ice. iced coffee, alert, to be worn when hosting a social business gathering in winter. Makes me feel like bright white light. fresh floral. It reminds me of an impeccably dressed assistant to a CEO/socialite greeting everyone at her ice garden party and being a great hostess. She is a can do type of lady, a Libra who is feminine but with a masculine strength and a plan underneath. It’s nice on me but nothing remarkable. makes me think of beautiful white icicles, a cold scent, but a beautiful one. I am enjoying it, but not enough to buy it (i got a decant) – it is refreshing. It would be nice to have in my collection for a beautiful winter’s day.
virunchev – :
I gifted this to my mom in its soap form. Reminds me of the subtle wafts of Jasmine I smelled outside the house at night when I was young.
zerixoclash – :
This is NOT a “disgusting” fragrance at all. But I am somehow “frustrated” with it. The opening is quite beautiful, smooth and classy but the drying down process started to bother my nose a lot. I do not dislike it, just found it “weird” and very unsatisfied, just like someone in here pointed it out: something among the ingredients did smell EXACTLY like CILANTRO in the end and that smell got even stronger and settled on my skin as a final note (there came my “frustration” as if I could shout out:”It COULD have been a home run…but it was NOT”).
I love cilantro smell in food, but NOT for wearing its scent as my fragrance (I’m NOT so much of an “herbal” fan when it comes to fragrance anyway). And at THAT price? No, thank you Creed! You guys COULD have done so much better with this one as you started it with the right concept, but messed it up in the end! Big disappointment from me!
If I had NO other choice and had to choose at “gun point”, I would rather pick the Aventus For Her over this one for sure. By the way, that one took on a total different direction compared to this one and I’m also NOT a fan of that one either. My final suggestion: try the SAMPLES first for both of them on your SKIN, NOT on any card!
AndreiBC – :
I am disappointed that this one doesn’t work for me. The initial spray seemed somewhat fresh/clean but Iris was bursting through and then it turned into something that reminded me of the childrens’ grape-flavoured Tylenol I used to get when the kids were small. Maybe that was still the iris, I don’t know. After 5 hours, I end up with very bitter orange peel. No jasmine or vanilla.. poor me, lol. sadly I can’t connect with this scent on any level.
9111509582 – :
This is quite dry for a white floral with ambergris in the base. The rice brings an interesting effect; I can smell it as if I were sticking my face into a bag of rice. It’s that aerosol dustiness that smells rice-y, plain white rice. There is also some darkness buried in the scent. It instantly reminded me of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, where the white paint is made “white”-er by the addition of a single drop of black per can. (I know it’s a weird digression and there’s a ton more symbolism behind that scene in the book.)
I wouldn’t say that it’s “pretty” but rather, lovely (with a lowering of the voice). I get a ladylike and mature impression, but not an aged mature, a sophisticated despite youth mature.
It lasted with soft sillage for several hours.
somiic – :
An absolutely stunning and classy perfume.
What a masterpiece in creating such a gorgeous feminine scent, which isn’t too sweet, not too strong, but intoxicating nonetheless.
I get an almost synthetic vanilla sandalwood with the iris. A combo I adore.
This is the upscale and subdued older sister of Juliette Has a Gun’s Mmmm… (Another scent I adore). A perfect daytime office scent for a professional setting.
The price is high, but you can almost smell the luxury and high quality ingredients in this perfume. I swear my nose has gotten spoilt smelling this fragrance and has become a bit of a brat demanding to smell it more!
I’m almost done my sample and will need to purchase a full bottle soon!
vovko11 – :
I’m getting tired of this – but it’s still lovely. Looking to trade. Private msg me with what you have. I’m looking for raspberry or berry dominant scents but will consider anything.
murad444 – :
I love this. It’s just so uplifting. No matter how I feel when I smell this I feel better. It’s just beautiful and clean and it makes me feel happy and awake and energized. My husband isn’t a fan of it. I don’t think the sillage is strong because other people can’t seem to smell it. But I don’t care. This is my favorite fragrance as of late and I recommend everyone to at least get a sample and try it. I love this so much!
lex121 – :
Floral Punch…
I do like this one. I think it’s a very strong powdery floral in the opening which is good value for money as it is strong. I get a lot of white florals that project and come across strongly. I get the iris and jasmine and the rice notes. I think it could be suitable for formal occasions. I could see it working casually if applied lightly. Ultimately though, I can think of other fragrances that would offer better value for money if on a budget. Famous people may indeed wear it but that’s due to the price and exclusivity more than anything else. I do think it’s one to try, but I can’t find the depth and intricacy as in other perfumes, although it is undoubtedly well made. It’s a loud, yet pedestrian floral that is worth the money if you have it, just not what I would personally recommend if on a budget, or if money was an issue. Overall, well made and will get you noticed. Not at all a bad fragrance from Creed, but not the most complex (to my nose).
veronichka – :
Rice+milk+sugar, this is it, this is exactly it!
The truth is it has personality behind it, if you’re not a right one don choose it at all! What i realize is an aged(or better say matured), experienced and moral woman! The name is exactly the fragnance, white is the appropriate color for this perfume, i gave it to my mother ’cause its not my cup of tea. Although i didn like it , i must say as always creed is extraordinary & ifferent. It is extremly unique !
данилиус – :
While I agree with almost everything Aeternitas said (first review, bottom of page), I’m drawn to it.
It’s somehow aquatic and milky, powdery and soapy. It’s unusual, so I can’t imagine being bored, but there really is an unnerving milkiness to it. I love a creamy scent, but this is *milky* and not creamy~~and the contrast with the soapy parts is just…unnerving.
But I like it! I don’t know how often I would wear it, but there’s something kinda addictive about it.
I do get a blast of orange juice at the very beginning, and then magnolia and loads of rice steam and that milky weirdness. Then it gets soapy, and then powdery. I almost love it, and I sometimes hate it, but it’s well done (in my humble…).
EDIT: there IS a cilantro note! The weird thing? This clash is almost nauseating (I love cilantro, but the clash is weird).
Исследователь – :
On my skin, this is a slightly sour, milky white floral without any powdery facets. The daffodil/narcissus is very intensive on me, with the magnolia not far behind. I felt some creaminess from the rice, but I could not detect the other notes on my skin. It started out very loud, and within two hours it became a skin-scent, still with daffodil, magnolia, and rice. It is apparent to me that I just don’t have the right skin chemistry for this one!
zelod – :
Another creed that is love at first sniff for me. I have and adore love in black a now love in white! This fragrace is so hard to explain in words. So unique, strange and beautiful. Creed gets alot of hate but i do not care what others think, because i think they are high quality very long lasting and interesting perfumes. Creed love in white opens with a clean sterile scent (i love Germany’s review, she explains it so well). I smell alot of orange zest, freshly grated orange zest. This lasts about 20 minutes before a milky creamy note comes in. I also smell ambergris. As time goes on it smells clean still but the milky note gets more intense. With this, i keep smelling a very familiar green note and suddenly realized… its cilantro! Fresh cilantro! I use fresh cilantro all the time in cooking and this smell gets on my hands, i know that its cilantro. It sounds weird but it actually is amazing in love in white, it adds complexity and green freshness to the milky facets. I’ve never smelled anything like it. Very long lasting! And sillage is moderate! I love it and this will be my next purchase!

Love in White is a fabulous Fragrance. In 2005 Creed sent one of the first bottles of this Fragrance to the First Lady Laura Bush who fell in love with it. It was her signature scent and she received lots of compliments at the White House galas in the next 3 years. This Fragrance is really unisex. It has a very clean Fragrance and excellent staying power. It smells a little different on everyone but still gives off the clean vibe which can be attributed to the rice powder and the orange blossom. It’s a masterpiece.
katerina26567 – :
All I can say is clean, fresh, classy, timeless, elegant. Smells like that fresh out of shower or bath type scent. Smells like your the cleanest women in the world. It’s quite mild but you can still smell it’s distinct smell. I was expecting it to be more creamy but after I got used to it, it’s perfect just as it is. Smell expensive and luxurious and that it is. Perfect for women with a classic miminalist sense of chic.
Ludada – :
Hi guys I have a bottle of this one, sprayed few times only. Not my cup of tea, so let me know if you are interested in it 🙂
any8003 – :
Ambergris and rice is the biggest factor in this perfume , ambergris should be voted way higher. Makes me believe most people don’t know what it smells like. I happen to love it. It’s a musky salty note that can smell synthetic and or a sweet earthy aroma , like a damp forest ? Basically it’s waht love in white smells like , to me it’s the main note in this perfume , the centre !
Love in white has a pure white , classic elegant nurturing smell , it starts clean and floral ,milky , somewhat polerizing ,sterile cold and minimalistic. Unique and very interesting.
It’s feminine for sure.
Starts of a little odd to my nose the orange peel combines with the RICE note is so Contradictory to me it’s like putting bitter orange peel into my warm glass of milk ! Also the magnolia is quite loud and screechy with a lemony waxy but lush character. It’s so different to any other perfume on the market and it’s a odd combination of cold and warm. Ying and Yang , Bitter and sweet. It feels almost sterile , loud ,SYNTHETIC , CLEAN and metallic !
Apparently lots of love for this perfume , I came across a great you tube review on it by Jasper Buckingham. I think it was his review that made me order it finally , today.
I asked my husband what he thinks of it and he said it’s very fresh and beautiful. Very different though he said , but good different. He said he can’t place the smell and had never smelled anything like that before.
It’s certainly interesting , I must say.
I agree with genny17 it’s not a oriental floral , and other sites call it woody aromatic, woody musky floral and all sorts of other more suitable categories for this clean ETERNAL scent.
Also I want to say it smells very diffferent on paper. Or when you spot sniff it rather than in the air and letting the aroma come to you instead.
It’s elegant ,clean and I find INNOCENT in a way ,
Update , Some call it MOTHERLY Makes sense beacuase of the MILKY nature of this scent. A little like breastmilk , sweet, sour , comforting. Hmmmm never thought of this. I think slowly I am understanding this perfume better.
Another update ,
Reminds me also of body cream, little bit of Nivea after it has been on the skin for a while. It’s a true WHITE scent. The scent of milk , lotion,STERILE cold slightly METALIC , sharp yet MINIMALISTIC in nature.
Very interesting , very unique. I feel PURE wearing it.
Lasts forever into the next days. My washroom still smells of it from when I sprayed it 2 days ago and so does my scarf. It smells fresh and clean.
– Becoming one of my favourites !
It’s actually quite clean fresh and natural , like most creeds ,
Big fan !
Feb, 2018 , I have been wearing this lately and likening it even more than when I wrote this review , I love the sweet combination with the breath of fresh air ,,,and yes cilantro note. A soapy green cilantro note indeed. Absolutely wonderful creation ,,,,, completely unique !
li-sergey – :
This is a beautiful perfume, it has a freshness mixed in with some nice florals..like this isn’t a big floral, this is a complex scent, it has of course a niche quality, I detect the narcissus, and the rice note is delicate and played so harmoniously with some fresher notes..the scent expresses confidence..yet remains feminine . I find it also to be a cold scent, especially in the top notes..it is refined, not not warm, nor sensuous.
Why is it that it gets so criticized !? But Creed always gets put down, and people forget the scent is so majestically put together..there is a natural sweetness also that makes it more than a floral scent…not sure I would call it oriental floral, mind you it had a green vibe throughout, it is also a bit grassy..still feminine, still attractive .
Kiros81 – :
I must confess something : I saw a list of perfumes they use celebrities Holliwood and other great figures of music and the world. And I thought what these famous women feel when using LIW ? Why is your favorite perfume? Well, just out of curiosity, i bought it.
My first thought when I smelled it , was OMG is wonderful! then I was watching its evolution from a soft floral sweetness to a creamy blend of sophisticated scents. I felt powerful , yes, that’s the word , as a woman of great influence in business, elegant, distinguished as the ” boss” . Not exactly the aroma would choose for a night of romance , but absolutely my first choice when I want to feel bright and triumphant , especially in those days of great challenges. They say it is not important who you are, if you want to be, what you project , and it is this perfume everyday makes me feel successful and positive. Thanks CREED !

ScarlettX – I couldn’t have worded it better myself. I kept trying and trying thinking it was my nose “for the day”, but nope…..something just “off”.
Meftn562Diobtetty – :
I thought this was something super special, because every time I wanted to try it in a department store, the tester bottle was empty.
Today I finally got to try it and it’s weird in my opinion. There’s a not very pleasant milky undertone to it and I don’t like it.
It wants to stand out and it does, just not in a good way.
I don’t know if this is rice note or something else, but something bothers me in this perfume.
agent 007 – :
Everything isn’t for everybody. I ascetic that this is FOR ME.I tried it because I read that the FLOTUS wears this. It smells professional and fun at the same time. The way I see the (current) First Lady. I will continue to wear the sample to make absolutely sure there’s no changes. I would be honored to add this to my collection.
71VVVV71 – :
God I love this frag. This is not a stark, heavy, cloying white floral scent. For me, this is a buttery creamy white thing of beauty. All these soft white florals that are so aggressive in other scents combine in such a sublime way here, as if they were hushed by the perfumer himself. Gentle and quiet, yet bloom on your skin in the heat. This is an exquisite summer-time fragrance. If you love white florals, you absolutely need this.
Meotn473Negeltzex – :
I love Creed’s Love in White. It smells so elegant and classic. This is a great spring and summer scent. This is a scent that I will always have in my collection.
echeren – :
Scent – orange peel paired with magnolia, sandalwood, vanilla, jasmine & rose.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the warmer months, day or night.
Projection – I did get noticed, It garners compliments.
Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.
SenSeilldek – :
My first Creed and also a birthday present (I chose it above Lys from Le Labo). I was looking for a mature flowery orange scent that doesn’t smell like refreshment or candy and I found it. Love in White is a fragance to wear day or night and during all seasons. Right now in a warm spring it feels perfect for the evening and going out to a restaurant. Love in White is all about flowers with orange playing around. It is not harsh and it has no sour elements. Its is not sweet nor bitter just round and creamy, totally unisex and it has a excellent longevity. Gorgeus and I love it.
berbusari71 – :
This was love for first sniff! It smelled lovely on paper and I could not wait to try it on my skin. After the first impression of citrus and floral notes fades away the rice and vanilla dominate and stay with you for about 4-6 hours. It is elegant and sophisticated. How a lady should smell like. Price is a bit too much, but it is definitely worth a try!
Пес – :
I can see why they call it smells like detergent,saop and washing powder,actually it IS a bit syntethic and very clean smelling but not bad to my nose
Love in white is light,smooth,powdery and soapy and clean,but in a lovely classy way
I prefer more alive,more spiced,sweater and more sexy smelling scents specially during cold days, but this one is really good for springs when you are dressed in white and want to smell kind,clean and innocent,this is truely a white scent,it is light but it stays very good on me and I really like the orange-powder-white floral combo sometimes
I don’t know I really love this one or it’s just a like for me but I really love the opening,creamy magnolia+orange+blasts of powdery iris,I love how fresh,clean and simple it starts and as middle and base notes show up,it turns to be even more lovely,magnolia orange juice dries down to a yummy powding,there is vanilla cream with a touch of warmness,a bit of it,not overtly sweet or heavy +a hint of sandalwood that makes the combination even more creamy + a dominant rise(in a delicately sweet rise powding form not in the un cooked plant form)
Love in white reminds me spring,not spring of nature,it reminds me a womanly spring with lovely changes inside the home,washed fresh smelling cotton sheets(washed with an orange flavoured washing liquid) and sheer white shirts and dresses and my beloved mom serving rise powding for us,with a bit hurry because there is lots of work to do ,window is half open and a pale before spring’s morning sun with a touch of warmness and smell of fresh,cool air with whiffs of floral scents enter the home,make us lazy and prefer to go outside and play instead of helping mom…love in white reminds such a day,a lovely day from my chilhood,reminds a white simple love,my mom
To be honest,I love it
vavili – :
This is a very elegant, ladylike fragrance. It is also rather unusual. I haven’t smelled anything quite like it before. Because of that it took a while to grow in me. I wasn’t initially a huge fan but after several uses from a couple samples, I thought it was great. It is floral with some creamy rice undertones. I also get a hint of citrus. This is my special occasion perfume…weddings, anniversaries, etc.
Kilkan – :
This is so light I can hardly smell it. I heard a lot about this so was keen to try it and did a blind buy. It is like a very watered down and overly light version of Pleasures by Estee Lauder. Or an extremely diluted White Musk. Basically the lightest floral possible with a little powder.
In fact baby powder or baby lotion has a stronger scent than this. Virtually any floral would have more scent and staying power, I would not waste money on this.
Vadruk – :
I agree that this one has a plastic doll note in it. I have had LIW before and have never quite understood how anyone could like it. I think our noses are as special as our eyes. I am not sure if it is all about body chemistry anymore. I suppose we do perceive and interpret scents very differently. I still spray a bit of it on the sleeves of my jackets or coats when I go to stores that sell it. Just to see if I can smell anything else than a barbie doll, baby bottle with fatty milk and floral yogurt in the sun mix. I cannot notice anything pleasant like wonderful floral gardens or fresh flowers like others do. Sometimes I can smell it without feeling sick to my stomach and sometimes can’t. Don’t get me wrong it does not smell sugary or sickly sweet at all, just that the floral milkiness reminds me of baby puke on clean clothes.
To my nose there is nothing feminine with this one. I believe it must be one of the weirdest juices ever sold in a perfume bottle.
tumbKiftefe – :
Reminds me of Clive Christian No. 1 for women. Such an elegant perfume. Its a powdery, white floral, thats almost gourmand from the vanilla. Its formal but not for a night out on the town. This is white sundress, white sunhat, off to see the races.
Stitch – :
This bottle and I…welllll we started on a rough note. It smelled like cilantro on me but there was something magical that made me think of it constantly.
We parted ways for a while but then I missed it way too much to distance myself any longer. So I reached out to it and we fell in love all over again. I forgave the cilantro part, I try looking the other way when the cilantro wakes up on my skin.
I want to say I crave this beauty. I mean literally crave it. I am obsessed.
The sweetness and the mystery in this bottle are out of this world.
This is magic. We are inseparable now.

GORGEOUS. FEMININE. PURE. SEXY. CLEAN. DIVINE.
prikoly – :
Masaki Shiro by Matsushima is a parfum from 200 that smells like Love in White. I discovered it by accident while testing new fragrances in a shop. Maybe Love in White has a tiny more liquorice and vanilla taste in it but I could not swear on it. Anyway I like Love in White I just wish it would be a little bit sweeter in a way. Maybe a hint ofvanilla more. I am not sure that would pay the price …maybe to high…there are better parfumes and far more feminine.
lawaligue – :
Like a few others, I experienced uncertainty with this scent to begin with. But something made me go back to the sample and try it again a few days later (and again, and again) and now I like it so much I am buying a full bottle. To me it evokes a wedding in Hawaii with all those exotic white flowers. It’s one of those scents that is great for evening, but somehow you can get away with it daytime too, especially now it’s getting towards autumn
muzzlon – :
Just received a sample of Love in White from our Nordstrom’s and think I’m in love! Beautifully blended floral heart with the Tonkin rice warming things up a bit, then drying down to that creamy vanilla and sandalwood. On me it’s both sophisticated but still very feminine. This is a floral fragrance…but unlike most synthetically manufactured scents on the market today, it is not screaming flowers but rather a gentle falling of petals softly around. It’s a bit pricey certainly, but just may be worth it for a new signature scent that all my friends are not wearing!!
Valentina_53 – :
i applied with a spritz to each wrist. Screaming, high pitched, alcohol-laden disappointment….but only for several minutes. Then it dried down to a smooth combination of white, Spring flowers and I was happy.
Actually, had forgotten about it and several hours later I was working in my North Carolina flower garden and a gentle breeze brought me an amazing, light scent. No, the lilac bush is flowered “out”. My dianthus had a barely detectable scent, the irises perhaps? Too far away…then I realized. It was my new EDP! Lovely!
poslevech – :
This fragrance smells exactly like the first floor of a high end department store. That wonderful smell of a whole bunch of stuff you wish you could have but can’t afford condensed into one building. It just reeks of wealth, luxury and class. It is a very ladies-who-lunch type of situation. But not just any ladies. The wives of millionaires whose only jobs in life are to shop, look cute and make their staff/servants uncomfortable. This stuff is very sharp, very citrusy and screams “I AM OF THE ONE PERCENT!” If you make under 300,000 dollars a year, please don’t purchase this (unless, that is, you want to smell like you make over 300,000 a year)…
I can’t see this scent sitting well with everyone, nor would I call it “safe”. White florals in general are quite lovely and uplifting, but Love In White is white to point of being a bit screechy and antiseptic. Seriously: there’s a fine line between “uplifting” and “sterile hospital unit”. And when a fragrance ventures too far into medicinal mode it can come across as detached. That’s the weird thing about Love In White. It’s loud, aggressive, but also detached! Getting back to the “millionaire” feel of it– it’s the olfactory equivalent of a well-dressed meticulously groomed woman who lacks empathy and warmth.
Like all creed picks it’s expensive; I strongly advise snagging a sample before you commit to a full bottle of this stuff.
Things to note about this fragrance:
-It’s not subtle. Heads will turn. Major, major silage.
-It is aggressively feminine; but a specific type of feminine. Think Madison Avenue shameless decadence.
-It is not at all “sexy” in my opinion, nor is it trying to be. It is all business, all class. This is something you’d spritz on before boarding your private jet. Think “Alexsis Colby” in predator mode.
-This is very much a “clean” fragrance, but exaggeratedly so. Again, very sharp citrus; nothing soft and light here. Spray it on if you need motivation to clean your messy apartment.

FLORAL,Big floral, totally femenine,cannot imagine a man wearing it, its opunlently floral, smells like a Mays morning in the countryside .pity last note is a bit plastic-artifficial,to me
Провокатор – :
This smells like a nice fresh floral for a quick 3 minutes. Then It morphs into smelling exactly like: a big dog ran into someone’s back yard, jumped inside the swimming pool, then went for a romp through the flower garden.
I really can’t be around this 🙁
kgy844intitytek – :
LIW is beautifully blended —strong on floral with a bit of rice husk and hint of vanilla. I do not get any citrus from this. It is truly lovely and very strong — a little goes a long way as I’ve been playing with this from a test vial for at least a month and still have half left! Due to its strength and hardy sillage, it plays better outdoors on a cool to warm breezy day. I think I like it enough to buy it, so it will go on my wish list.
ventely – :
This is such an unusual but fabulous fragrance.
I’ve had a sample of it sitting at home for a while and last night thought I’d actually try some on. It’s a creamy, fresh, floral and citrus smell that has an almost minty kind of redolence to it which I quite like.
