Our verdict on Love in Black: Acquired

This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection, longevity, and prominent violet-iris profile make it too assertive for office wear. However, its dark, sensual character and excellent performance are ideal for dates and formal evening events where it can truly shine without overwhelming.

About

Love in Black opens with a dramatic flourish of deep, sweet violet, swiftly followed by the powdery elegance of iris. A spiced hint of clove emerges, adding a touch of intriguing warmth, before settling into a juicy, tart blackcurrant and subtle rose base, underpinned by a woody-musky richness. It evokes a plush, almost gothic floral landscape.
