About this deal

I was a little hesitant, because I was familiar with White Diamonds and it wasn't something I enjoyed on myself. It is a very light, barely-there fruity scent which is very wearable during daytime for pretty much any occasion. I know more developed noses than mine won’t like that I’ve pegged this as a mature scent, but I’m sorry, it is! Being a huge fan of Diamonds and Rubies, I expected to like this based on the listed notes and reviews, so I bought it without testing first. The main dominant note is Lilly-of-the-valley, and it is mellowed out with the melon, rhubarb, and spices; and all the the other notes work so well together.

This is a spicy floral scent, and it does have a superior projection and sillage, typical of Elizabeth Taylor's fragrances. The rhubarb note, so shrill in newer scents, is not allowed to screech here and is heavily tempered by spices and another deeper darker lily that is unnamed in the notes listed here. Apparently, all the perfumes she tried she didn't like, plus a lot of perfumes smelled alike to her and she ended up layering several perfumes to get one scent she would like. Even though this one is not my favorite and chances are I’ll never wear it, I enjoy the scent because it evokes fond memories.Although peach is included, Diamonds and Sapphires truly is not a sweet scent - it is a mature fragrance with a distinct aquatic base. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

It's a very green melon-y fragrance, more like a cucumber smell than a fruity, sugary candy melon you'll find in a lot of newer perfumes. Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Sapphires eau de toilette spray for women is a fresh and floral fragrance which uses a luscious blend of refreshing notes including lily of the valley rose ylang-ylang jasmine spice and musky sandalwood. It is similar to Escape, but a bit less animalic, skipping the coriander and oakmoss and opting for a gentle sandalwood over the harder cedar. Jag tycker att den är modern men utan de sötsliskiga doftnoter som oftas återfinns i parfymer idag, ändå tidlös. This aroma blends lily of the valley, rose, ylang- ylang, spices, jasmine and a fresh floral bouquet.In 1994 on Christmas I got a gift of Elizabeth Taylor's Fragrant Diamond Perfume set and I loved Sapphires. This is a beautful fragrance that really lifts the spirits and can adapt to many different settings. com is an independent retailer carrying genuine brand name fragrances, skincare, haircare, candles and makeup. I can see the similarities mainly due to the melon and the spice but I think Escape is much sharper which I love in a perfume. The parfum is a strong, elegant and ever so aquatic interpretation of the melon/LotV scent that many brands have created and done exceptionally well with.
