Love in Black by Creed is a dark, spiced floral built around violet and iris. Violet, Virginia cedar and a scatter of wildflowers open it green and slightly powdery, before iris, musk and cloves add warmth through the heart. Black currant and rose settle underneath, giving the base a tart, slightly fruity depth rather than anything sweet. It launched in 2008 and is worn by both men and women, suiting anyone who likes a floral with real weight to it. Voters keep it for autumn, winter and spring, mostly in the evening and at night. The vote leans long-lasting for longevity and strong for sillage, so it carries further than you might expect. A 3ml decant is enough to wear it across a week of cooler evenings.

The community verdict
For autumn evenings, Love in Black brings violet and wildflowers into iris, cloves and musk, with black currant and rose at the base. Long-lasting wear leads the votes, though some find it moderate; projection also leans strong rather than moderate. Night and spring work too.
