Love in White 2024

I love this even more than Creed's Spring Flowers. I love this more than any other floral I've ever smelled. Thank goodness this new version has gotten rid of the vanilla...I'm sick of vanilla...so now it's fresh, light, and stunning...an amalgam of flowers with nothing to obstruct the main characters. There's a reason it's recommended as a wedding fragrance. I feel like I don't even deserve something so beautiful every day. There's nothing cheap about this...the quality is evident. About the scent...I can smell the apple, which keeps the fragrance airy and light, until the drydown. I think it's what gives this scent princess/fairy-like vibes for such a long time. Lordy...I'm gobsmacked. ps The accords above are very much off.

I got a sample from Twisted Lily in original Creed packaging. I'm getting sharp citrusy sweet orange juice and soft magnolia. It smells generic. I remember smelling this at Bloomingdales a couple years back, and it was much better. There was a more pronounced chalky rice note that toned down the sharpness and made the scent less sweet, more creamy and interesting. The orange came across as bitter orange peel, rather than orange juice. The notes seemed smoother and better blended. I agree with a prior reviewer saying the perfume used to smell more matte. I will let my sample macerate and return to it. Smell: 7 out of 10 Strength: 7 out of 10 Feminine For reference, I'm female.

Right after I sprayed it on my arm I smelled creamy powdery rice, orange zest and the faintest idea of coconut milk? One hour later I can only smell cloying overwhelming florals that make my head ache. Very disappointed.

COMPARISON I will write a proper review later but I have to tell you about the differences between the juice in an old shaped bottle (Love in White) and in the new one (Love in White 2024, in the picture). (EDIT: it’s weird that here in Fragrantica is said that “modern twist” while in their own website they assure that the scent is the same. The scent really feels that Vanilla and Sandalwood have been at least reduced a lot and it feels like Cedarwood and Musk are more accurate notes. Beautiful thick rice is gone as well.) I haven't been interested so much in Creed's perfumes earlier but of course I got obsessed in the worst moment. I only had Queen of Silk and Delphinus earlier. I just was spraying this "Love In White | Creed" , "Royal Princess Oud | Creed" and "Wind Flowers | Creed" one week ago. I noticed that they are changing all the bottles into the style which for example "Queen of Silk | Creed" and "Delphinus | Creed" have and personally I think those old ones were so pretty so I wanted those ones. I was scared as well that the scent would be different even if those scents should be same and in Creed's own website they assure that the juice has remained the same even if the bottles and the packages has changed in 2024. Well, the problem occurred with "Love In White | Creed" because the tester was the old one and the bottle in the box was the new one. I really was SO in loved with that creamy thick texture of older juice. So I couldn't test the juice in the new bottle (in the picture) and I just blind bought it and sprayed it heavily on my other arm and immediately I noticed that it wasn't same. The opening is brighter and somewhat lighter like greener as well. It's not so much different but there is missing exactly those elements which I loved so much: that exceptional opulence behind the freshness and a tender powdery touch. The new one feels all the time bright and airy, fresh as well, while the old one feels matte, creamy and more unique with a beautiful freshness combined with other facets. Magnolia and Narcissus are playing a bigger role in the new version. I think that I wouldn't have fallen in love with the scent if I had tried the new one and I think I will buy older bottle if it come across somewhere. The difference lies not only in the base, especially in the amount of Sandalwood and Vanilla but in the middle notes as well, especially in Iris. All of them have been clearly reduced in the new version and it makes the whole thing both lighter, greener and fresher, because the appropriate restrained sweetness of vanilla, which was noticeable in the old version, is gone. At the same time, the lovely thicker texture and a tender powdery texture are unfortunately gone. The difference in the base is very noticeable the next day, when in one hand only freshness remains and in the other a lovely gentle blend of Sandalwood and Vanilla is still noticeable. I hope that over time my scent will deepen even a little, but I don't think it will reach the allure of the scent I tested. If it's just a matter of batch differences, I would be surprised, because I think the difference is clearly due to the amount of Iris, Vanilla and Sandalwood. Neither of the scents feels synthetic to my nose and the longevity of both is the same, around 6-7 hours but I can still distinguish the scents even after a night. I would rate the scent 9/old one and 7.5/new one. Even the old one isn't groundbreaking, like none of Creed's, but it's really beautiful and addictive because of the creamy and fresh combination. So iif I classify these scents "fresh" and "floral" would describe the both of them but the old version would be "powdery" and "creamy" as well whereas the new version would be "green". Luckily they had an old version of "Royal Princess Oud | Creed" so I can't tell the difference between them for now, the tester was an old version too. I will write about them once I have a possibility to test a new version. "Wind Flowers | Creed" is still in the same bottle like always but I'm sure they will change that one too. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.

To expensive to keep the beautiful feminine bottles? Even the male targeted frags are changing bottles.. it's not a innovation but just running away from extra cost. Sad how quality drops on evert aspect of life..

Nice, clean , beautiful scent, expensive for weak mediocre performance. My wife would wear it more but doesn't last long enough.

so underrated and kind of a mix between silver mountain water and Soleil blanc with soft floral.

Such a mediocre fragrance, it isn't even funny.
