"Love in Black" Perfume Created in Memory of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis


This perfume was released nearly a year ago but I hadn't heard of it before today so thought I would share the information. It is available at Neiman Marcus, Saks, and Bergdorf Goodman. The price tag is in the higher brackets – $230 for a 75 ml bottle and $130 for 1 ounce.

Creed Perfume To Release A Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis-Inspired Scent

Luxury fragrance dynasty Creed Perfume will be releasing a new scent inspired by the iconic Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis and her marriage to Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.

Named "Love in Black," the new fragrance finds its muse in the sensible and classic elegance of the former U.S. first lady. The scent is to commemorate her 40th wedding anniversary to her second husband.

Described as a "violet oriental" scent, the fragrance is composed of top notes of wildflowers, violet and Virginia cedar, middle notes of iris, clove and Tonkin musk, and bottom notes of black current and Bulgarian rose.

The bottle is made with black sands, similar to the Greek isles where she was wed on October 30, 1968.

Sixth-generation master perfumer Olivier Creed drew inspiration for the scent from his meeting with Mrs. Onassis when she was alive.

"Love in Black" will be available in 1-oz. spray ($130), 2.5-oz. ($230) and 8.4-oz. ($350). A part of the sales in the U.S. will benefit the World Wildlife Fund.
