Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Emeralds is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1993. Diamonds and Emeralds opens with Hyacinth, Water Lily, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Elizabeth Taylor's Diamonds and Emeralds carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. Initially, it's a bit of a pungent white floral beast, but give it a moment to settle, and you're rewarded with a juicy, sweet, elegant scent. It's divisive, but for the price, you can afford to take a punt.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its potent white floral and fruity accords make it a bit much for the office if oversprayed, but applied lightly, it transitions well. The rich, creamy dry down lends itself beautifully to dates and more relaxed formal events, though its significant sillage might overpower intimate settings if not used sparingly.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Diamonds and Emeralds opens with a vibrant burst of fruit - think juicy peach and apricot - intertwined with an abundant bouquet of white florals like gardenia and tuberose. As it mellows, a creamy vanilla and amber base emerges, softly underpinned by a whisper of earthy patchouli, creating a lush, sweet, and surprisingly gentle scent.
