Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor, This intensely feminine perfume from the Fragrant Jewels collection celebrates white florals with top notes that include sweet and softly spicy white rose, lush gardenia, sweet and citrusy mandarin, elegant, creamy peach, and hyacinth for added depth. Heart notes of intense jasmine and bright lily of the valley blend with the scent of peppery carnation and lemon-tinged magnolia, and the clean, fresh aroma of rose. Tonka bean, musk, and amber provide depth to the base, accented by patchouli’s earthy undertones and vanilla’s sweetness and warmth. The complex fragrance delivers moderate to heavy sillage while longevity is moderate to long. Introduced in 1993, Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds & Emeralds was created in collaboration with Sophia Grojsman and Carlos Benaim. Ms. Grojsman received the Living Legend Award in 1996 from the American Society of Perfumers. Mr. Benaim, a native of Morocco, was the first perfumer at International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc., to be named Master Perfumer.
Elizabeth Taylor was a British-American actress whose film career spanned nearly sixty years. Famous for her beauty, her talent and her turbulent personal life which included a long list of husbands, Taylor made her film debut at age nine. Film-goers worldwide watched this lovely child with the legendary violet eyes grow up. She successfully transitioned to adult roles which would earn praise and recognition, including two Academy Awards and four Golden Globes over her lifetime. Elizabeth Taylor was also a fashion icon with a passion for fine jewelry, which served as inspiration for the perfume line she would launch with Elizabeth Arden. The first fragrance in the line, women's scent Passion, debuted in 1987. The men's companion Passion scent was launched in 1989. In 1991, the enduring best-seller White Diamonds was introduced. Other gem-inspired fragrances followed, including the Fragrant Jewels collection—Diamonds and Emeralds, Diamonds and Rubies, Diamonds and Saphhires—which came on the market in 1993. A tribute to Taylor's unique and celebrated eye color—Violet Eyes—is the newest fragrance in the line, and the last scent introduced before Taylor's death in 2011.
