Black Pearls Elizabeth Taylor for women

This is dark, mysterious, and is hitting my chemistry in the same range that Paloma Picasso's fragrance did... it goes on - almost as toxic as bug spray smells.

The first couple of minutes of the spray of this is extremely over powering... it almost takes on a life of its own.

I will have to see how this wears on me. A number of people truly love this fragrance and from the reviews I have seen of it, it seems like one that I would probably like as it dries down.

I'm sampling this now - and will let you know.
So far, this is extremely STRONG!!!

--------------

10 minutes into this, a very warm inviting alluring quality comes in. This has spices in it which remind me of the classic fragrances with a distinct oriental theme... such as Opium and Cinnebar by Estee Lauder. There is a very deep mysterious quality to this.

Personally, I feel that I may not be mature enough to wear this, it also has a depth and dimension to it that I feel would wear much better on a brunette or redhead. It is almost a mis-match to imagine a blonde choosing to wear this fragrance... but then again, it may be the equivalent of a blonde putting on a classic little black dress. It is a statement, but I'm not sure that it would be a signature fragrance.

--------------

The first 30 minutes of this are intimidating, very strong. But it is drying down very nicely and has an alluring quality. It is much better after an hour of wear... and could possibly turn into something that I love!

--------------

The Final Verdict:

This seems to be for someone who really likes a floral oriental type fragrance... (floriental). For anyone else, this would become a statement perfume or perhaps a perfume that is used only for certain occasions. Since I'm looking for a signature fragrance, this is really not exactly the type of signature that I am wanting to project in my outward appearance. I could see this perfume as a beautiful compliment with certain women's style and appearance. This goes very well with a woman who likes vintage fashions, particularly those dating in and around the 30's and 40's... very similar to the movie star pics of that era. For me, this would be the perfect fragrance to wear when dressing up in a costume from that era... but this fragrance definitely deserves to be worn by the right person who is playing that role on more of a continual basis, and not just as a Halloween costume, once a year.

Lovely! This seems more a floriental to me, if not simply an oriental - very warm, rather sweet and generally luscious.

I can't improve on iMaverick's review, agree with it completely.

This is findable on ebay for moderate prices. I might need a backup bottle!

Boozy to the max! This is a strong, mature scent, not for wallflowers. It has a very warm brandyish, smokey, peachy, stewed fruit feeling about it. It has the peachy potpourri vibe of Diamonds and Rubies, mingled with the smokiness of Spellbound, and dries down to a strong sweet wood. I can imagine coming in from the cold and being instantly warmed up with one spritz of this. Suitable for chilly evenings. My review is for the frosted bottle.

Is this still being made or is it discontinued? I love it SDOOOO much and have since it first came out! I would love to get it again if it is still being made.

I agree with the brandy scent in this fragrance. However, it had me smelling like a really fancy wino! I gifted it, but I'm bummed about wasting more money.

This is a very sweet fragrance. At first it had quite a brandy-like scent to it which warmed up after a few minutes into a mixture of vanilla and sandalwood. I found it a little too sweet but it could definitely work in the right context. Good for winter evenings.

I'm going to wear it with my Tahitian black pearls and a grey silk blouse.

This is no doubt an excellent scent, a classic. But it does not float my boat as I find it to creamy juicy sweet and far too rich. Maybe I am simply not a fan of peach. I'm not degrading this perfume, I'm saying it is not compatible with my tastes.
It is in no way not an old lady scent. It is very strong and deeply pungent. I like some strong scents, and many older scents, but not this one. I don't think it is well rounded. It lacks nuance.

What a classic fragrance! I bought it online, purely based on the reviews here. It is super creamy, intense and something that can warm you up in a jiffy on a cold winter day. Love it much!

creamy soft and strong, best for wintertime.

Got a large bottle of this for a song today and 1997 came rushing back to me. That is the year my son was born, so the moment I spayed it I felt this urge to start sobbing. It was so sweet. So moving, so many emotions I had then were evoked within the scent and released from that little place that stores your smell file cabinet. It is a soft perfume but strong for certain. You do not need much or there is a note that may give you a head-ache...for me that is probably from the Gardenia. This is blended very well. I think watery type flowers (lily, lotus, etc) can be difficult to blend with white flowers (Gardenia) with out smelling oddly like a compost bin, especially if a good dose of bergamot is tossed in for good measure.
I am a fan of peaches...to eat. I don't usually like to wear it in a scent and find it turns body-odorish on people quickly. Somehow the sandalwood, musk and amber spice it down and mellow everything out. I think these were KEY blending ingredients that made this fragrance come together! It all turns into this warm (you would swear there is vanilla in there...and I am a vanilla lover so you usually can't fool me!) and it almost has that effervescent liquour/boozey quality to it...It is a fabulous fall/winter scent I am so happy I grabed this one! :) Give it a try! I think if you enjoy: John Varvatos, Fancy, Tracy, Mitsouko, Burberry Women, Far Away Paradise, Brandy Brandy, Wonderstruck, Samsara, you will probably really enjoy this one! I believe in my Jimmy Choo review I mentioned that his is almost a DEAD RINGER For this one!!! (Less than a quarter of the cost of JC!) Best Wishes this Holiday Season, and Merry Christmas! xo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE/UPDATE:

I was thinking about it, and forgot to mention this, which may be of interest to some: In my opinion, this smells the same as the scent as I wore in the '90's some people say it has been reformulated, but if so, I can't tell. I do know that the bottles are not the same. The one I received this week is a clear glass bottle with a solid black top with a golden colored perfume...almost yellowish in color. The bottle I had in the '90's if memory serves me correctly, is the same shape/pattern (very Art Deco)...but more of a cut glass. It was frosted glass, and the "black pearl" which sits prominently on the cap was a "pearlized" black...not solid in color. Hope that makes sense...and I hope that assists anyone looking for the older formulation on ebay or online. <3

For me is a good fragrance, because has a great fixation and it has a strong note of peaches. I like it =)

It's quite different. It's very sweet, and smells a lot like rum or whiskey right off the bat. it's unique, and as a young man, difficult to wear... but I can definitely pull it off. I smell a lot of sweetness and peachy deliciousness that is so classy and mature. It reminds me a lot of her Diamonds and Emeralds. Peach is a rough note to wear, but this perfume is so strong and classy. Great scent!

I'm a newbie in fragrantica. Love to read reviews from here to get my blind buy choices.
Today i have just received my black pearl blind buy.
Very nervous....lol...
First impression, it is Tresor junior!
It's just so loudly sweet for the starter.
So I waited....it has gone through quite some changes within the 30min.
Definitely mellow down, flower notes becomes distinguishable. I think lily is prominent.
The base notes is probably what balanced off the sweetness.
It is now reservedly sweet.

To me, this has more depth than Tresor, which gives me headache all the way with it's mega sweet notes.
Somehow this is definitely a peachy sweet scent.
I like it, but have to make sure I'm light handed on this as it is with punch.

I bought this awhile ago in a two for one sale because the name sounded intriguing. I hoped it would be an oriental. At first spray there was an odd synthetic, almost rubber tire note that bothered me. After a few minutes the peach and florals came through in a really nice way. After a half hour or so it morphed into a lovely peach, vanillic, soft floral. It doesn't remind me of any other fragrance I own. It's unique and I find it soothing, maybe that's the amber/sandalwood/musk base. I think it's a bit formal for me for everyday but with just a spritz or two would be ok, especially in the winter. It feels more like a winter, fall scent, at least on my skin.

I detect oily leather but it isn't listed as a note - reminds me of 'new car smell' with a little musky vanilla-ishness very nice and different too

Like it!, a soft sweet vanilla scent.

Another liz perfume oscar to add to my hall of liz perfume fame. It does remind me of rich warm golden syrup, guess that is the amber and fruity notes, it is one that does ok on me but I bought it purely for my collection and I do love the bottle regardless of the fragrance, for some reason it seems to be better on a colder rainy day, I guess that is a great time to wear those black pearls with the little black dress, which sums up this fragrance for me.

The top notes reminds me very much of Avon's discontinued Rare Rubies with the warm spices and sandalwood and the dry down reminds me of Avon's discontinued Rare Emeralds with the floral base.

I like this one. Though, it's not one I can see myself wearing a lot. It's a more formal type of perfume.

It has great sillage and it lasts a very long time on the skin.

I just received this yesterday,.I can really smell the vanilla.Like it alot, it's a keeper for me..A 1.7 oz nice scent a pretty bottle for under 20.00,a great deal..This smells like a cross between Casmir and Tocade.If you like those scents,you might like this also.

Update: Thanks to Chanel, I just had to get my hands on a vintage bottle of this. It is absolutely blissful! The cloying opening of the reformulation is dashed to bits, leaving the spiced vanilla to run this show. This is definitely the crowning jewel in the House of the Great Dame.
-----------------------------------------
I purchased this blindly, expecting something in essence to Givenchy's Organza Indecence or Cinnabar—thick spices with a little sweetness. Instead it begins with a heavy-handed floriental slap, typical of most 1980s florientals. The initial spray reminded me of Boucheron’s eponymous fragrance. I had had Boucheron already and I was anxious to be rid of it, so imagine my great frustration of having it back in my possession once again. I made an empty vow to myself never to buy blind again and handed this over to the House of the Grand Dame’s greatest admirer, my mother.

A year and many glowing reviews later I decided to steal a quick spritz for memory’s sake. I was disgusted upon initial wearing. I was ready to scrub this off as I did the first time I tried it. It was the Boucheron all over again! If I have learned anything from Fragrantica I have learned to wait out a perfume from beginning to end to see how it plays out on my skin and NOT to scrub anything off. The heady Boucheron scent bowed out gracefully to a creamy spiced vanilla with an infinite amount of staying power. I’m kind of sorry I was so hasty to give this one away.

Pleasant as it is I must be realistic with myself: I probably would not wear this one too often even if I had kept it. There is something waxy about it but it really is a nice one from the House of Liz. Not a fan of fruity florientals? Not to worry, this is strictly spicy vanillic florals with a sturdy base of sandalwood. As with all her perfumes, there’s great longevity, projection, and sillage. Of all her creations I would say I am most impressed with BP.

I was very excited to buy this. The reviews here made it seem like a total dream.

Unfortunately I had no idea that there were two versions of this fragrance.
It was discontinued and now is on the market again reformulated- the frosted bottle is the old version and the new bottle is clear glass.

So I will review the reformulation, and I can tell you without even have had smelled the original that this reformulation is AWFUL!

It smells like stale beer and bugspray. It's horribly synthetic vanilla and peach, way too sweet and gives me nausea and headache.

I will be buying a vintage of this sometime, and when I do I shall post a review of it.

Sorry to bring this one down - I am a fan of most Elizabeth Taylor fragrances but this one is a real let down. Smells overly sickeningly sweet in the bottle like bitter almonds with canned fruit and on my skin I get sweaty socks mixed with rotting peach syrup - Like a peach can which hasn't been rinsed and has been left out in the recycling bin for 2 weeks mixed with the most fake vanilla extract you have ever smelled. This one is nauseating.

I bought this scent blind, online without smelling because I just like ET and her perfumes and what a surprise!!!! Soft, sweet, warm and addictive with a pinch of pepper and bitterness. Slightly powdery, just a bit. Absolutely not an old fashion but delicious and elegant !!! Bravo Elizabeth forever!!

Goodnight Dame Liz. Rest in peace...

Just received my bottle of black pearl...and gave it a good old blast..ten minutes later.its like a warm velvet blanket caressing my throat, with a field of beautiful flowers blowing in the wind, mingled in with a fire of gentle spices topped with talc..divine and pure class from the lady her self.

What a fragrance ! In one word FANTASTIC !!!!
Smoky relaxing sweet lilac-gardenia composition. A bit strong and very deep, even dark and havy sometimes. Still fantastic, if you know how to properly wear it.

I don't recognise any old-fashion scent in it, I would rather say it's a special, yet modern. How special and how wearable it is? In that way I would compare it with Angel by Thierry Mugler, although the basic notes of those two perfumes are very different. But I would like to express my general feelings about the caracter of Black Pearls. First of all right mood and right weather, than right clothes and of course right occasion - you must have everything to wear it in an appropriate manner.

I would also add, that if Black Pearls was like a well promoted "the latest, the grates, the newest perfume" of some currently very popular brand, than many people might say IT'S GORGEOUS.

My father taught me how to recognise a good singer. He said that I should listen with closed eyes, so I could clearly hear and recognise the quality of the voice and couldn't be misled by visual performance.
I think that rule is pretty usefull in the world of perfumes.
So, don't think too much, close your eyes and just smell !

And where we stay ? ah, Black Pearls - gorgeous, isn't it ??!!

The trouble with modern celebrity fragrances is that I can't actually imagine the celebrity wearing them. I mean, can you seriously see Victoria Beckman putting on one of her fabulous frocks and then spraying on "Intimately Yours" before heading off to a fashion show? Or Kate Moss tucking a bottle of "Kate" in her Gucci bag before hitting the Glastonbury Festival? And can you imagine Sarah Jessica Parker spraying "SJP NYC" on her ensemble while running out the door in her Manalos for lunch with Patricia Fields?

Didn't think so.

But the ET fragrances do strike me as something that Liz herself would have worn, particularly the early ones. This one is a rare gem, and very unisex. Warm and inviting, I can see the slightly portly Liz of the 90s putting this one on before putting on a black mink stole and hopping into a limo bound for the Oscars. It is without a doubt highly underrated.

It also annoys me that most of the images we see of Liz now focus from her early years. Admittedly, she was a spectacular beauty, but in her later years, even right up to her death, she always appeared in public well-groomed, and her hair done and makeup applied, still flashing the odd jewel here and there. Sure, she was past the first flush of youth and did end up in wheelchair but she still made an effort, whatever her situation, and you gotta love her for that.

Bought this blind because i love anything elizabeth taylor and im not regretting it. It sits on the fence between regular perfume and gourmand and is addictive. The first 3 seconds after the spray is overwhelming bug repellent. Once it dries the addiction and smoothness begins. I actually did a double take thinking my shalimar edp didnt wash off all the way but surely its my pearllllllls. Nothing old lady about it and their are good prices on amazon so if you are iffy on her other scents a blind buy wouldnt run you too much

If you are looking for a delicious fall scent that is addictively comforting, look no further! I also find this to be a much less expensive version of Jimmy Choo's Jimmy Choo. It is sensual (from the spices) and feminine (from the white flowers) and very well balanced. I'm always shocked that White Diamond's beat this out in the market. It is such a beautiful scent!

Super fantastic, reminds me Poeme-honey notes.

I took a chance and ordered a bottle without, smelling it. I sprayed it on my wrist, At first It was a very nasty smell. Within 10- minutes it dried down to a very lovely, beautiful scent. I really like this one.

This is one of the few perfumes for women I know that starts with a sweet-woody fragrance which turns into a very charming floral bouquet that is quite lasting. (Normally most perfumes for ladies start freshly or flowery and turn later into sweet woody notes). It is also very comforting and has a very good sillage.
It is however a somehow elegant and old-fashioned
scent, hence I would only recommend it to more mature ladies.

Ahh! Spritz once, wait a while spritz again, wait a while and spritz again. Their now I have the different layers of this Sultry fragrance combining and shooting off at once. Now the only thing missing is a Black Silk Lace Lingerie, a Silk robe to go with it and a glass of wine.

I especially like the aroma my body gives off from this fragrance when I follow the former part of the top paragraph.

When I want to be noticed but in an understated way I reach for my bottle of Black Pearls.

Im an ET fan. I never wore but I knew someone that did and it smelled nice on her. Spicy fruity sandalwood vanilla hey those are my favorite blends. My preference would be a light application.. Based on the reviews, I may have to try it on a cheapie purchase.

I greet this perfume with a resounding "Oh, dear!" Recently, I rediscovered an episode of the Nanny (90s TV comedy starring Fran Drescher) in which Elizabeth Taylor visits and shares a black pearl necklace with Fran to promote the Black Pearls fragrance. I thought, why not explore a memory? So I bought it.

The bottle was lovely (the pictures don't do it justice), but on first spritz I knew something was wrong. I don't even know how to describe the smell--like something fermented. Rotten peaches? Champagne, maybe? Whatever it was, it wasn't for me! It gave me a headache.

I managed to unload my bottle on a very nice new neighbor as a house-warming present (she was thrilled), and told her to pass it along through her female family members (she has many) if she didn't like it. I hope it works out for her!

pepper??? or something else,i like this one,good power on my skin,perhaps it's an old lady one ,but i am "an old lady" and what!!!!!

I like this perfume. But I have to be honest -- it is a bit old lady, though sometimes that's fun when I'm in a particular mood.
It is warm and reasonably friendly, though not discreet. It is in the Floral group, but I detect enough darker/spicier notes that I wouldn't really peg it as that from smelling it. The sandalwood, bergamot, and lotus are noticeable, but to me the white rose & waterlily are completely lost. It also has a distinct note of vanilla (which is one of my least favorite ingredients -- but that's just personal taste).
Definitely has good staying power; can become overwhelming if over-applied.

I like to wear this more 'mature' fragrance in a bit of an ironic way. Like when I feel like dressing more over-the-top and delightfully dramatic in a counter-culture sense, I love to wear Black Pearls.

I love this one. Cant get hold of this warm comforting scent in shops easily in the uk, along with the rubies/sapphires/emeralds collection, they are much better than White Diamonds (in my opinion anyway). Yet White Diamonds is still very much in the shops...

this is one of the most awful smelling perfumes, imo. its strong, and to me, smells like black licorice mixed with fragrant flowers. tried it at the store from a tester, couldn't wait to get home and wash it off. this is a headache inducer.

Black Pearls is for those who appreciate big and flamboyant florals. It is like an explosion of flowers. The bouquet is strong and at times intoxicating. The notes are not easy to break down but I will try to discern them. The fragrance opens with a joyful symphony of lotus, lilac, a hint of rose and a touch of spices. The next stage brings gardenia, jasmine and waterlily. Those heart notes bring heady floral almost cloying scent. It might be interaction with my skin but it does get a bit too strong for me especially in the hot weather. The heart notes show much better in the cooler months. Finally the whirlwind of flowers slows down to a more quite and subtle sandalwood, vanilla and peach.

This fragrance has incredible longevity. I apply only a touch in the morning and I still can feel it in the evening. I would not recommend it for young and innocent but it is well made perfume for someone who is into big florals. At times it reminds me of a glamorous movie from the past full of passion, gorgeous places, beautiful well-dressed ladies and handsome gentlemen. I enjoy watching it once in a while when I am in the mood for big and dramatic, just like I enjoy this perfume – once in a while.

Black Pearls is like a well seasoned steak,U cant pick out the seasonings U just have a delicious steak.THere is no jumping from note to note,it starts and stays delicious.All blended to perfection.THe lovly ending is smoky and only intensifies the spices and slight florals.The woody ending is very comforting and relaxing.The only way this wouldnt6 b called sexy,is if u just arent in the mood,cause it is sexy.

I have tried this when it first came out. There was something heavy in it that smelled bad when it was on my skin awhile. Chemistry is important with this one I think. Works for some but not all. It smells good from the bottle but you gotta get it on your skin to really know for sure. It could be used by a man since it's not girly at all. Poisonivyprince has an idea there. Black Pearl like the pirate ship. It's an enigma. I don't know what to make of it.

This one is very different from anything else I've ever tried or worn. Definitely an oriental or floral oriental; not a true floral by far. It opens immediately with a blast of peaches, lotus, sandalwood, vanilla and spices, with a hint of lilac. Within a few minutes, the amber and sandalwood come out a bit more for a while, and a soft powdery accord develops. Then eventually it mellows out a bit and turns a bit fresher and more floral towards the end, which is highly unusual. I'm thinking the lilac, jasmine and lotus notes are the strongest.

It's not my favorite fragrance in ET's line, but I'm fascinated by it because of its uniqueness. I would wear this as an autumn daytime fragrance, I believe...not so much a sexy fragrance (which I think her Passion and Diamonds and Rubies definitely are!), but a mellow, comfortable, and, as iMaverick said, a sensual scent. More akin to a cozy, romantic night at home, in front of a fireplace under a cashmere throw, as opposed to a night on the town.

I bought a bottle of this perfume at Marshalls a few months ago, for only $10 for the 3.3oz EdP. This fragrance is an inexpensive little luxury.

Black Pearls is elegant and sensual. The top notes are a heady balance of vanilla and spices, with a lot of powdery lotus to soften the spices.

As the top notes lift off, the spice fades, leaving soft florals, powder, and the lingering comfort of vanilla. The bergamot adds freshness and a shade of bitterness to the dry down as well, so the florals aren't overly strong or too bright. It's quite well-balanced, and becomes more so the longer it wears.

Black Pearls is a very feminine, soft, smooth and warm scent. I think this would be best for evening wear, and for cooler seasons.

love it. It goes on nice and the dry down is absolutely lovely. Spicy and sweet, floral and powdery all together. Just perfect. The dry down is peachy sweet honey and amber. Lovely and unique.

Sweet and heavy something in this doesn't sit right with me it is like bland and sweet and woodsy powdery not my cup of tea.

I absolutely love this scent! To me it is very sugary but in a way that is complementary to my tastes. It reminds me of sugar cookies. I just love this scent.

i like it,mature,elegant.but rare in shops.why?ohhh yes..people prefere most CD,Chanel so on...

I bought this scent online without actually smelling it (was attracted by the ingredients..and the price!) I use it in the evening in winter. It's not my favourite fragrance in the El.Taylor collection .The initial spicy scent is a real surprise - really sharp for my nose. I would have thought it was a perfume suitable for the older lady had the initial scent lingered longer. But it doesn't, thankfully for me. The perfume becomes warmer and the spicy base notes are delicate; thus the perfume improves as time goes by.

I don't agree with the floral description given to this scent - I would describe it as woody spicy due to its rather marked spicy elements.

Not quite sure about this. In my opinion, this is a very soft, dry, warm floral oriental with a bitter/sweet spiciness to it. The fruit notes seem more dry than juicy and the floral notes are delicate. I prefer the middle to base notes because the opening is sharp but that doesn't last. Otherwise the scent is smooth, soothing and well constructed. Not a loud scent but understated and elegant.

Wow! I bought my first also, just a day later. I have been resisting this one for a long time but took the plunge.

It really is an amazing scent and if it had a more chi-chi designer it would fly off the shelves and afficianados would crown it queen. Or king as this one could definitely be worn by a man.

I have to agree about the slightly bitter spice notes that meld with the sandal and florals and that just adds to the mesmerizing quality of the scent. Bitter is "in" and ET did it before anyone else. I am not 100% sure of the spices, but this has a ginger and nutmeg quality and that probably provides the bitter sensation. I do not get a leather at all with this one, but I could be wrong, I was late to appreciate the leather in Passion, too

It is indeed a pearl of a scent and the prices can't be beat.

Black Pearls lasts for over 6 hours so far) and the warmth of the day has made it bloom nicely on my skin.

I may need a back up bottle of this one.

I Bought My 1st Bottle Of This Today. And I Gotta Say Im In Love!

Its A Wonderful Aroma, I Get The Powdery Tone Of It. the Gardinia And Lilac Stand Out Pretty Good. The peach Is Very Subtle Almost Have to Look For It. I Can Find The Jasmine And Bergamot When I Close My Eyes And Sift Through The Fragrance.

The Bottle is Beautiful As Well. A golden Sea Shell Holding Up Its Namesake A Black Pearl.

Definatly One Of My Favorites From The Great Elizabeth Taylor! I Give It A Perfect 10!

Update: Yes Im A Guy And I Wear This :)!

I really wouldn't consider this a "floral" scent, but more of a straight up oriental. It strays away from its more heady floral creations in Elizabeth Taylor's line. Bottles of the EdP can be had for cheap under the 15 dollar mark.

Aside from the powerhouse floral-chypre of White Diamonds, Black Pearls is another great fragrance in terms of composition quality.

To me this is a smoky (at first), dark and powdery rose, creatively embellished with indiscernible ripe fruity notes--something like melon, and deep spicy notes. There is also a bitterness about it, which reminds me of something of a leather note.

The piece-de-resistance is definitely the base notes, which smells of amber, musk and elegant woody notes.

The EdP is remarkable, although the bitterness of the scent can really assert itself, if not the powdery notes.

There is a parfum version--rare, beautiful bottle, but still can be had for cheap. You just need a little patience and need to hunt around a little. The parfum is the true expression of the scent, but not necessarily stronger. The floral nuances can be smelled better, and not quite so shocking as the EdP. Both versions have the same longevity and emits a soft aura.

They are not strong fragrances, per se, but they are full bodied and hovers close to the skin--a true sensual fragrance. It's probably not as popular as it deserves, but it is most undoubtedly an elegant and beautiful perfume.

I really like this scent. I find it so soft and VERY relaxing.... A scent I can even wear to bed, which is pretty amazing:)

I love Elizabeth Taylors Black Pearls.This is a lovely soft and alluring scent. Your guy will love it too.

I found a bottle of this at Ross and decided to buy it "scent untested" since it was a heck of a deal. I shouldn't have. It doesn't smell good on me at all. The smell reminds me of Tic Tac breath mints combined with an old antique odor. Not a good mix. Maybe this would smell nice on somebody else.

This sounds yummy- and I want to try it-but I can't find Black Pearls anywhere. Usually, the stores which carry Elizabeth Taylor have Passion and White Diamonds.

I like the bottle and the smell. It's soft vanilla with some spicy mixed in. I like it better than her white Diamonds. Why you ask? this one is more modern, less strong and not so mature.
