Review: Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor

I really enjoy the original White Diamonds perfume made by Elizabeth Taylor. Although the scent may be a little overbearing and old fashioned to some, for me it was some pretty delicious long lasting stuff.

Last weekend I came across a pretty wonderful find at a local yard sale. A 1 ounce bottle of Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor for only $4.00. The first moment I got a glimpse of it, I recognized it as part of Elizabeth Taylors collection due to the same beautiful bottle that White Diamonds comes in.

The bottle is a standard stand up bottle, with a cylinder shape to it. The same signature wrap around of what appears to be metal cut to look like jewels surround the bottom layer of the lid. Although it resembles the original White Diamonds bottle to the tee, the dark green logo on the actual bottle allows it to stand out as a different perfume in the collection.

I happily paid the woman my $4.00 and sprayed some on me when I got into my car.

Scent:
 
Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor definitely has that White Diamonds scent to it. It's strong, a little overbearing, with a scent that is of powdery rose, lily, and a hint of gardenia. It is once again very, very strong when you first put it on. You will seriously only need about one small squirt of the perfume and it would be enough to fully douse you in its fragrance.

I knew like the sister perfume, Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor would also be a long lasting fragrance.

Last:
 
As the day wore thin, my perfume did as well. However it did not vanish, instead Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor over time turns into a much more powdery rose scent, and nothing else is really detected.

I will admit though that Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor does in fact have that old lady scent to it, but I personally like it still. For me it's a very elegant fragrance, best sited for summer or fall night wear.

Overall:
 
Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor in my opinion smells delicious, lasts a really long time, and is like 2 perfumes in 1, seeing how it transforms into a sweeter more subtle rose scent over time.

Recommended:
 
Only to those who do not mind strong scents of rose. It's a very old fashioned scent, and will only be well liked by those who enjoy such scents. For those who enjoy more youthful scents, I'd skip Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor entirely.

Where To Buy:
 
Some websites are selling Diamonds & Emeralds Perfume by Elizabeth Taylor for high prices in the upper $60 range. Other sites like FragranceX.com sells it for much less.

A 1.7 ounce bottle at this particular site will come to $15.04, which is a great deal compared to other sites. I personally have ordered from this site, and never have had a problem.
