Then, at a certain point in the drydown, it made me think of L'eau d'Issey from Issey Miyake, and Escape from Calvin Klein, and when I checked I saw that both had melon as (one of the) most intensive note observed. It contains of lemon, lily-of-th-valley, heliotrope, melon, galbanum, peach, rose, jasmine, rhubarb, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, vetiver, amber and musk.

Fragrances made in the US are not necessarily subject to the strict IFRA regulations that restricted perfume ingredients in 2005 and destroyed countless classics that were made in France or other European countries and intended for distribution in Europe.I can’t talk about longevity much because I just got it this morning and have not worn it for a full day.

I couldn't say that this is one of my favorites, but yes, there are the days over the year, when I absolutelly love it, and this is mostly during the winter time. I think this is perfect for the daytime during the spring or summer when it isn't smoldering hot out.So far I have Diamonds and Rubies, White Diamonds Luster, Sparkling White Diamonds, and now, Diamonds and Sapphires. I was a little hesitant, because I was familiar with White Diamonds and it wasn't something I enjoyed on myself. I really don't need two Elizabeth Taylor's in my collection but I'm tempted after smelling both today. While I love all of Elizabeth Taylor's Diamonds and series, Diamonds amd Sapphires moght be my favorite.

I don't feel that way about Diamonds and Sapphires but I do feel exactly the same about Diamonds and Emeralds. The melon is there, but it is not the sweet,ripe melon scent,more of the fresh and cool type of melon. Diamonds and Sapphires Elizabeth Taylor for women Top notes consist of Melon, Lily-of-the-Valley, Freesia, Peach and Galbanum.There is melon but it isn't sickly like the rest of those perfume I mentioned and my nose picks up a lot of the peach and rhubarb. Violet Eyes is too light to have any personality - it’s a sweet, fleeting disappointment to me, but Black Pearls is sublime.
