Elizabeth Taylor Violet Eyes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by Carlos Benaïm. Violet Eyes opens with Peach, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Peony. Elizabeth Taylor's Violet Eyes carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Surprisingly divisive for a light floral, Violet Eyes is either a beautifully blended, affordable gem, or a bland, fleeting woody scent. If you want cedar and peony without the violet, you might be in luck; otherwise, prepare for disappointment.

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.

Violet Eyes is generally considered office-safe due to its soft projection and clean, non-offensive accords. Its mild performance means it's suitable for close-quarters like the office or casual daily wear, but it might lack the punch for formal events.

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

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

Violet Eyes opens with a fleeting whisper of peach, quickly giving way to a prominent heart of delicate peony and classic rose, intertwined with fresh jasmine. As it settles, a clean, almost sparkling cedar note emerges, underpinned by a soft, warm amber. It's a woody floral through and through, with reviewers noting a surprising lack of actual violet.
