I really do not care for this fragrance. It is lilly overload! Truly gag-worthy!

This fragrance redeems itself with the drydown. I tried this while visiting Macy's. Sniffed it and really hated it. Tried it on my skin and still hated it. I walked around with it for a while and after about half an hour I finally remembered to sniff it again. This time I was totally amazed!! The fragrance was exceptional and I was in love. I went back to Macy's and obtained a sample in order to try it again on clean skin and test out the lasting power. I've now had the opportunity to try this out for a couple of days and the decision is that this is definitely a keeper. I will definitely be getting a full bottle of this REAL SOON!!!

I anxiously awaited the release of this fragrance, huge Creed fan that I am. I headed to Neiman Marcus shortly after the SA called me to let me know that the fragrance was there. Upon arrival I saw the beautiful bottle sitting on the display and was so happy to finally try this long-awaited fragrance. I sprayed the fragrance on a strip, waited a few seconds and then lifted the strip to my nose to take my first whiff of this fragrance which I knew would be one of the fragrance loves of my life. EWWWWW!!! I was horrified!! First sniff was total hate!! However, no worries. I know that the paper strip doesn't really do fragrances much justice so I obtained a sample from the SA so that I could take it home and try it. I was unable to try it on my skin at the store due to I was already wearing a fragrance and did not want to compromise LIB by mixing it with what I was wearing.

Anyway, after arriving back home and washing up for the evening, I once again tried out LIB. EWWWWWW!!!! I still hated it. I sniffed it over and over again because I noticed that one note in this perfume seemed to be the 'killer' of this fragrance for me. I cannot tell what it is although it is very dominant on my skin. I am going to keep trying it and sniffing it.... not to try to make myself like this fragrance...that will never happen. My objective is to try to identify the note that I hate in it so that I can stay away from it. The notes listed for LIB all seem as though they would work for me because they are in a number of other fragrances that I own. Maybe its the way this mystery note combines with the others that makes this smell so awful on me.

Needless to say, I have taken Love In Black off of my wishlist. I dont like and will never buy it.
