Why Creed Love in White Has a Following

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down
Love in White opens with orange peel — the first impression as it hits the skin. Give it twenty or thirty minutes and the middle act arrives: magnolia, rice, narcissus, italian jasmine, iris and bulgarian rose. The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is ambergris, sandalwood and vanille.
Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads floral, citrus — the kind of profile that rewards a second and third wearing.
