Black Pearls

Elizabeth Taylor Black Pearls is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996. Black Pearls opens with Bergamot, Peach, and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Rose, Lotus, and Water Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Elizabeth Taylor's Black Pearls carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Black Pearls is a divisive love-it-or-hate-it affair, a punchy hit of vintage glamour that demands confidence. Expect an initially boozy, sharp opening before it settles into a warm, powdery, and unexpectedly comforting embrace. It's a journey, not a destination.

Its potent projection and warm, amber-heavy profile make it too intense for the office but perfect for close encounters or dressier events. Many reviews suggest it's best for cooler weather and evening wear, lending itself to romantic or formal occasions.

About

Black Pearls opens with a curious, almost 'boozy peach' kick, swiftly followed by creamy gardenia and a hint of bright bergamot. The heart unfolds with delicate water lily and rose, balancing the top notes before drying down to a rich, enveloping blend of powdery amber, soft musk, and warm sandalwood. It's a complex, evolving scent.
