The first new feminine Creed fragrance for five years (the last was 2000 Fleurs), and the first to be debuted in the USA.
The scent is inspired by Olivier Creed's travels on the high seas, "an element of nature that connects all humanity." and according to Creed, the bottle evokes "the shoulders of a feminine figure as she rests upon white sands caressed by the ocean's gentle current. A silver ribbon at the neck conveys sunshine dancing on the Aegean sea".
A portion of the proceeds from sales of Love in White in America are donated to the United National Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which works toward world peace. A premiere bottle of the scent was given by Creed to actress and goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Angelina Jolie.
The fragrance is available at Neiman Marcus, neimanmarcus.com, Bergdorf Goodman and Saks Fifth Avenue New York. It will arrive in additional Saks stores in December 2005.

   |  Love in White is a sweet bouquet including plenty of jasmine and rose, along with a bright fruity orange peel note that makes the composition very sunny. Equally obvious is the Creed millésime base that I know so well from Green Irish Tweed, Millésime Impérial, and Silver Mountain Water, et alia. Love in White is somewhat reminiscent of Fleurissimo in its ethereal brightness, but with a very modern fruity freshness added. I think the older scent is better – it’s more honest and pure, and not trying quite so hard to be perky. Love In White winds up smelling just a bit too much like an artificially flavored watermelon hard candy. The hard candy is cheaper, and Millésime Impérial plays a similar hand much more deftly. 16 June 2009 |
  |  Some may use this for office wear but I think it is best suited for going down the aisle of your wedding. Full of white flowers, and purity doves as the bells ring through the chapel, or you can use it in a night club and get hit on by a dozen drunks. 28 December 2008 |
  | I like this one. I love white flowers because they don't force a really power floral scent. The white flowers in this fragrance creates a creamy and sweet fragrance. Unfortunately, for whatever reason this one turns sour with my wife's body chemistry. The fragrance by itself or on a card is amazing, so I can recommend it for any self respecting, younger woman who is looking for a great quality fragrance. Thumbs up. 15 July 2008 |
 | I have a fond relationship with "Spring Flower", so, of course, I jumped to purchase (blind!) my own vat of "Love in White" (MYSORE sandalwood--could it truly be?). Unfortunately, I not only had to nurture a rash after testing this doozy, but also had to beg the place I purchased it from to consider refunding me. I understand the concept of this mix, I really do---seabreeze freshened wax-white flowers, pinned to someone like Grace Kelly, as she yacht-trots along the Monoco coastline---unfortunately, this brew morphs into something bizzare and even violent on my skin. It opens in an almost faint-worthy hesperidic burst of citrus oil, that shoots and blinds the eyes, then dries down into a bitter cheese that remindes me of a really tasty brie, enncrusted with sea salt. So far by account, not lovely but perhaps tasty. However, I wouldn't allow myself to be fooled by the picnic lunch opening, "Love in White" then dries-down into a surprisingly chemical petrol/gas station kind of blend; it's oily, dry and kerosene-like and makes me think of celluloid flowers bubbling in a nuclear meltdown. Congrats to all of you who smell loveliness and virginal purity; I actually felt a bit violated after "Love in White" invaded my airspace. 27 June 2008 |

| Love in White is one of my very favorite perfumes – who cares that Luca Turin trashed it in his recent perfume book! He also ridicules Creed's packaging overall which I find rather odd. I think this bottle in particular, with its opaque whiteness, etched feathers and silver bow, is quite stylish. With Love in White, I initially notice a mélange of orange flowers, almond and musk. After about 20 minutes, notes of sandalwood, vanilla and white flowers begin to appear in a soft well-blended way. The sandalwood and vanilla notes make this into an especially calming and comforting fragrance. In conclusion, Love in White is a soft, elegant fragrance that smells expensive and classy, in an understated way. 30 April 2008 |
 | Like the sweetest breeze, I wore this for my wedding day and it will forever remind me of this. A pretty fragrance which sadly does not last long on me. 13 December 2007 |
