The most famous of all wedding scents was made by Olivier Creed’s father, Henry, who was commissioned by Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956 to create one for his bride, Grace Kelly.
Inspired by the flowers in her bouquet (tuberose, florentine iris and rose), he made Fleurissimo.
Olivier has created his own version of the perfect modern marry-me scent. Called Love In White, it was inspired by a trip he took to Fontainebleau in the spring. “It all looked so beautiful and optimistic”, he explains, “like something wonderful was about to begin. I thought, this is how love begins, with everything to experience and anticipate. I wanted to capture this mood in a perfume using white blossoms, such as magnolia, hyacinth and narcissus.” The bright top notes and sensual finish make this an ideal choice for a summer wedding.
Olivier advises taking your time when searching for your ideal scent. Narrow your choice down to three or four and then return to the store and try out each one for a day. “You will know which one is right- it will fit you like a glove.”
