Why We Carry This

The rice note in Love in White is one of the most successful unusual material choices in the Creed range: it gives the fragrance a warmth and specificity that prevents the iris-bergamot opening from reading as generic. The sandalwood-ambergris base develops beautifully over the hours of wear.

Love in White opens with iris and bergamot but it is the rice note that makes this composition memorable: a soft, slightly powdery warmth that smells like sunlit linens rather than anything floral, giving the composition a domestic tenderness before the jasmine and rose heart arrives. The ylang-ylang adds warmth to the florals, and sandalwood with ambergris builds the base into something quietly luxurious. A fragrance about the particular comfort of white, worn things kept carefully.
