Liz Claiborne Liz Claiborne is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1986, created by Nicholas Calderone. Liz Claiborne opens with Marigold, Green, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Violet, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Oakmoss. Liz Claiborne's Liz Claiborne carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This 80s icon is a proper love-it-or-hate-it experience, especially when dealing with vintage bottles - some find it a glorious floral bouquet, others a foul barnyard nightmare or cat pee. If you get a good batch, it's a nostalgic trip to a bolder, greener era.

About

Liz Claiborne opens with a vibrant, almost peppery burst of green notes and marigold, quickly joined by a juicy peach and a riot of white florals. Tuberose, freesia, and lily take centre stage, creating a rich yet surprisingly fresh floral heart. The dry down is a warm embrace of oakmoss, amber, and musk, grounding the floral exuberance with a classic, chypre-like depth. It's a complex blend that evokes a distinctly 80s feel.
