Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Sapphires is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1993. Diamonds and Sapphires opens with Lily of the Valley, Freesia, Galbanum, and Melon, settles into a heart of Rhubarb, Spicy Notes, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Elizabeth Taylor's Diamonds and Sapphires carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This 90s gem is a divisive scent experience, but a true cheapie powerhouse. Some find it a delightful, vibrant melon aquatic, others a headache-inducing synthetic nightmare. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal for day-to-day wear.

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

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and hot weather wear, according to many reviews. However, the strong projection and potential for being overwhelming, as noted by several users, lowers its suitability for formal settings and the office.

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.

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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 Sapphires bursts forth with an unapologetic aquatic melon and peach, instantly evoking a cool, fresh splash. This fruity introduction then melds into a lush bouquet of lily of the valley, freesia, and rose, underpinned by a distinctive green bitterness from galbanum and rhubarb. The journey concludes on a soft, musky-amber base, grounding the vibrant florals and fruits in a sensual embrace.
