Diamonds and Emeralds EDT by Elizabeth Taylor
When I first got this perfume, I was really unsure about it. I like softer scents and this is what I would call hard (not necessarily strong, but hard).
Fragrantica describes the notes as follows:
Top notes: Apricot, Orange blossom, Gardenia, Mandarin orange, Peach, White rose, Hiacynth, Sage, Water lily.
Middle notes: Magnolia, Carnation, Tuberose, Lily, Jasmine (a personal hatred of mine), Lily of the valley, White rose.
Base notes: Tonka bean, Amber, Patchouli, Musk, Vanilla.
What I think of these notes: I SMELL NO FRUITS! I don't get the vanilla, but totally understand the white flowers in this. It just smells like it has too much. Also, looking at these notes now, with jasmine/lily/lily of the valley, I should have realised why I don't really like this scent.... I hate those flowers! (I am not a clever (wo)man)
It isn't terrible though and I have used a 100mL bottle.
I would definately call this a winter scent as the heavy scent will match your wear and the flowers will remind you of warmer times.
Price: 5/5 (very reasonable!)
Season: Winter (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Heavy (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 2/5
