Description

By Elizabeth Taylor. From Fragrantica website The success of Elizabeth Taylor's fragrance has motivated many other celebrities to launch their own perfumes. White Diamonds is a sheer floral fragrance, an example of top classics. The harmony of flowers and aldehydes in the top notes, together with the sharp base, give this fragrance an elegant vintage nuance. The top notes are aldehydes, bergamot, neroli, orange and lily. The heart unites the classical trio, violet, rose and jasmine, accompanied by ylang-ylang, Egyptian tuberose and narcissus. The base is composed of oak moss, patchouli, musk, sandalwood and amber. The perfume was created by Carlos Benaim in 1991, I think it smells cheap!

I also think it smells cheap, and most people put on WAY too much of it, but that goes for most scents, cheap or not. Lovely setup and photo!

Aren't a number of celebrity-named perfumes just so-so? I mean I don't know the field well, but that's often the case in fashion, watches, etc: The celebrity develops a line, and the products are ok but nothing special---unless the celebrities are designers. Anyway, it's great to see your perfume series back. In this beauty, you have the bottles on one side, with---what---a kind of swirly glitter-filled gold-tinted background, which harmonizes with the gold tints of the bottles and box. You're intuitive to the core in your composition in this series, and you know how to back up the bottles with just the right backgrounds. The background here has waves, it's not flat. A little like fabric. And you have a subtle grain which adds a gentle glitter to the piece. The stuff may smell cheap, but your treatment of it is anything but---I love it. I've said it a million times, but there are several series of yours which I would buy in book form, no matter what you charged. And this is definitely one of them.

Another of your wonderful perfumery fotos!! I love the bottles, but only use essential oils for scent myself. My favorite is ylang ylang!!

Beautifully presented! The table or cabinet where you keep your collection must be something to see!

LOL! Tell us how you really feel, Andrea. I love the flowery prose followed by your honest assessment. There is a word, originally from Britain, that describes a thoroughly undrinkable wine, 'Plonk'. I suppose the word can be applied to perfume as well. It still didn't stop you from doing a wonderful job on this presentation. Adware raised to the level of art.
