Elizabeth Taylor launches her new fragrance Violet Eyes in April 2010. This sensual perfume is inspired by her iconic eye color; it is feminine, captivating, sophisticated and intriguing. Filled with a bouquet of the flowers Elizabeth Taylor loves, the composition is both modern and mysterious.

Top note is composed of fresh white peach, followed by the floral heart of jasmine and purple rose. Wonderful peony, amber and cedar form the long-lasting base of the fragrance.

It is available as 50 ml EDP. The nose behind this fragrance is Carlos Benaim.

WARNING: THIS PERFUME IS TINTED DEEP PURPLE. I do like this perfume, but I sprayed some on a card and it was deep purple - the perfume is tinted purple. I'm hesitant to buy it because I don't know if it would wash out if some got on a white shirt.

Although aged 23, I love the whats considered more 'mature' frags, which is why the E.T collection appeals to me so much. This one has a younger and a slightly more modern feel to it compared to the other frags in the collection. Still a lovely scent though.

I got this blind tonight, I wanted it just beacuse of Liz, I didn't think I would love it the same as I do with her older perfumes beacuse of lots of people saying how light it is.I think it fits right in to her collection. it's not that light to me at all! I LOVE IT! To me this is just right, I love a fragrance strong enough to smell, I really dont like "light" sents, I feel like they are a wast of money. Thank you Dame Elizabeth, You are gone now, but you left us something to treasure for years & years to come! R.I.P. You Amazing Wonderful Woman.
Also,the dry down in this reminds me of Mariah Carey's L.P. But this is better to me as it is a lot stronger and last way longer.(all day!)
One small fact I know about this perfume, Elizabeth wanted to name it "Fallow Me" It was E.Arden that picked the name "Violet Eyes" Elizabeth Taylor thought the V.E. sounded too conceded. I wish Liz would have got to pick the name, it IS her sent after all! Also, I think the name "Fallow Me" would have been perfect for her last creation. Arden won the name game, oh well, I just thought it was a fun fact to add to my "review" ;)

This fragrance is all about the cedar, but don't let that scare you. Try it first and then decide. This is a very woody floral to me. There is a sharpness to this fragrance that stays with you throughout wear, which I think comes from the cedar. There is a slight similarity to D&G Light Blue, which I also think comes from the cedar. I find Violet Eyes more floral, less citrusy, and more feminine than Light Blue. I didn't think I'd like this because I thought the heavy cedar would make it too woody and masculine, but I do like it. Leave it to Ms. Taylor to get it right. I doubt she'd put her name on anything that was lacking in glam and femininity. This is a fragrance for a strong personality, and it makes a statement.

A Light, elegant, classic, & ageless scent. It is similar to Light Blue and luscious Pink but is more balanced, with a hazy mysterious allure to it. I can smell small trails of magnolia in this but it's not stated in the arrangement of notes

I agree w/ missk. And many others, but missk nails it. I also agree with fihe in that this seems to disappear on me within mere moments after spraying. I put this on right after I toweled off from the shower, then again after I dressed, and again before I walked out the door to work. A co-worker came over to ask me a question, and she asked me what I was wearing and told me she really liked it. Alas, I would like it too if I could smell it! I asked her if it was too heavy, and explained how I drenched myself in it, and she said that no, it was not too much at all.

So, there you go. Its a nice, light, unoffensive feminine scent, but you must use it with a heavy hand and re-apply in the afternoon. If you love it, then go to the Rite-Aids of the world and get it cheap.

this fragrance is a little difficult for me to describe. from minutes after I spray it on, until I can no longer detect the scent on me at all (which takes a while, as it has good staying power on me), I detect this "sharp" note that I can't put my finger on. within the first hour or two, it smelled peppery. thereafter, the sharp smell remains, but rather than retaining its peppery aroma, it takes on the smell of D&G Light Blue. according to Fragrantica's perfume pyramid, both Light Blue and Violet Eyes have jasmine and rose as their middle notes, and cedar and amber in their base notes, which could very well be why they smell so similar on me after about two hours. Light Blue is much more expensive and everyone wears it, and I hate wearing a fragrance that is so "common". so if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely select Violet Eyes.

I like this perfume,but for anyone that dislikes it as soon as you spray it you may be judging it too soon.It takes awhile for the alcohol content to wear off and then it will reveal it's true smell on you.I don't like it as well at first because using lighter perfumes now by philosophy I had to give this one a chance after someone said it had a soft smell.So maybe if you just wait a bit and give it a chance.Of course that's why there are soooo many perfumes out there because we do like different kinds!

Just arrived in the UK, and I tried so hard to like it. I love the bottle and a big gift box is only £25 but despite testing it three times, I just get a vague, generic chemical floral fragrance.

I was shopping at Target the other day, and even though I am not interested in celebrity fragrances, I couldn't help myself walking through the perfume isle. They happened to have a tester for Violet Eyes and I spritzed some on the back of my hand. Holy crap, all i got was one big synthetic mess! Very sour, loud and obnoxious. I didn't expect a masterpeice but since everyone here has been praising it so highly, I at least expected something pleasant. Well, i sprayed Wind Song on the other hand and it smelled like an ultimate masterpiece in comparison to Violet Eyes (actually the reformulation is quite nice).
I think Violet Eyes completely quenched my curiousity for ET fragrances.

A peachy and powdery treat, courtesy of Ms. Taylor. I appreciate the fact that the perfumer(s) did not attempt a synthetic violet note, but opted for a more inventive and broad-shouldered reconstruction instead. Here it's achieved with the brightness of the peach and the green lilt of tea rose, both grafted on a light cedar and powder base. The result is a vague but amiable violet sweetness, which pervades the entire scent. Violet Eyes avoids smelling like a granny perfume. Nothing amazing here, but not bad at all.

Based on the reviews for this I had high hopes...which unfortunately were dashed with the first spritz.All I get is a strong cedar note that just won't go away.I'm returning this tomorrow.Love you Liz but this just didn't work for me:(

Dang se "( I had such high hopes for this one but on me, it started off with an initial blast of something closely rivaling Raid then after about 10 minutes, mercifully toned down to something like rose-scented air freshener, which lasted for about 15 minutes before it completely faded out, but not before it triggered a major mondo headache "O

Thankfully, all this was just caused by a sample so I wasn't out the money.

I just tested at CVS, very nice surprise! I am a ET fan of a few other fragrances. No doubt it will last long, I can smell the jasmine, peony amber-cedar blended well. I keep smelling my arm! I enjoy the look of the purple bottle, a fav color of mine. I might enjoy this as much as Hypnose however Violet Eyes presents lighter, delicate, and less bold at first sniff.

This smells like luscious Pink to me by Mariah Carey which is also owned by Elizabeth Arden. It is a bit suspicious to me as thought they have bottled the same thing but in different bottles. Every time I spray one or the other I cannot tell any difference. I find Violet Eyes doesn't last either just like the Mariah one. I like the smell it's one of my favourite smells because it has a very subtle citrus to it but it just does not last. I would like to know if other people who have both these perfumes think they can't tell the difference?

This smells alot like D&G Light Blue which I HATE!! I was totally thrown for a loop when I tested this. With the gorgeous purple bottle, I was expecting a pretty floral with a soapy undertone but was knocked out by the pungent citrus note. For the record...I do love Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds.

I love this fragrance!! Right now, I wear this one most of the time. It's a good day scent, and it is a warm scent. I was surprised to read that peach is one of its main notes--but the more I think about it, the more I am reminded of peach when I smell it. If a peach were lavender in color instead of, well, peach, this is what it would smell like. It is NOT piercingly fruity, just a gentle atmospheric fruity floral. I can detect the woodsy notes, too. It actually reminds me of a more complex and mature version of the old Coty fragrances I wore in middle school and high school, Vanilla Musk and Dark Vanilla (except not as lemony as the Musk and not as syrupy as the dark). I hope they make this one forever!

"Purple Eyes" was my nickname when I took part of a theater group a long time ago. I must say I bought this perfume unsnifffed because of it´s name and based on the good rewiews, specially Nioka´s and Mandashell´s. I was almost sure I´d like it, but when I fisrt smelled it I just couldn´t believe my nose: Violet Eyes seems to be exactly the scent I had been imagining for a long time, something I had created in my mind as the most delicate perfume ever, but wouldn´t bet it really existed. Now I realize I just didn´t know in which bottle it was!

THANK YOU ALL REVIWERS! I FOUND IT!

It smells "velvety" (does it make sense in english?), it´s truly feminine, so delicate! Also, it´s very different from every scent I had smelled before. I don´t think it ressembles White diamonds at all. It´s not so complex, but linear and alluring. I keep wondering how such well known notes could result in such a unique scent, though I still can detect most of them, specially rose and peony.
It lasts long on my skin, 8 hours at least, and the sillage is subtle, not overpowering, just as delicate as the fragrance itself.
This is a really awesome perfume. It does deserv the honor of being a reference to the beauty of Liz Taylor´s eyes!

This one pleasantly surprised me. It's actually not bad. But I wouldn't buy it for myself or even want to recieve it... Weirds me out a bit that it's related to White Diamonds, maybe if the bottles weren't so similiar I wouldn't have this image attached to it... I know, I know, it shouldn't make a difference to me if the juice is good enough but... it does.

I share the same perception as Kiku about Liz Taylor perfumes.Most of them project onto my consciousness a matronly, old school glamorous, but still dated aura.

Violet Eyes at first reminded me of a dry Light Blue. I could smell the cedar base overwhelming the composition. The longer Violet Eyes developed, I recognized what it reminded me of, Tresor In Love! It must be the peach, rose and cedar mix.I like Violet Eyes but I already own Tresor In Love...( which lasts longer and is less synthetic smelling)

R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor!

Hmm, i'm sort of on the fence whether i like this or not. Florals are not my favorite category and while i don't despise any of them, finding a floral that i actually like is quite difficult. Lot of reviews on this scent are very positive so when i saw this at Walmart for $14, i decided to give it a go. On the first burst, i really don't smell peach but citrus(and there is no citrus fruit listed so go figure). After few minutes i can detect a smell of dark rose(at least i'm assuming that's what it is)and peony. It does smell like these flowers were dipped in sugar because there is sweet sugary undertone thought this scent. This is not green scent by any means. Imagine huge bouquet of roses and peonies, saturating the room with their fragrance, flowers that are cool with drops of water-that's Violet Eyes. Its a unique scent, i don't think i ever smelled anything simular before.
The strange thing is that name is very suitable for this scent-if color violet had a scent, this is what i would imagine it would smell like.
This scent is not really "me" but i think its very well done and smells better than lot of designer fragrances that i sampled in the past. Lasting power is very good-it lasted about 3-4 hours and my skin tends to eat up perfume so this is excellent.

Outside of Gardenia, I have not been a fan of Elizabeth Taylor fragrances. They have all seemed to overpowering to me. This one was a pleasant surprise. After smelling a tester the first time, it stayed on my mind. One day, I sprayed the tester on myself and when I came home hours later, after the welcome home hug from hubby, he asked what smelled so good. I am not sure why but this fragrance makes me happy every time I smell it. I keep thinking it must remind me of something pleasant but I can't think of what that would be. Maybe it is just the thought that hubby might want to hug me more?

I had thought that Elizabeth Taylor's brand had stopped making perfume, until 7 years after the release of Gardenia, Violet Eyes appeared on our shelves. Since her passing, Violet Eyes is available pretty much anywhere and everywhere.

I really admired Elizabeth Taylor, not only for her beauty, but for her immense talent as an actor as well. Her most famous release, White Diamonds was quite nice in my opinion, the only downfall being its incompatibility with my skin chemistry. Violet Eyes on the other hand, while not smelling of violets, seemed like a younger, fruitier take on composing a fragrance.

It opened with a strong peachiness, somewhat green in nature and ever so slightly sour. The heart is composed of a creamy bouquet of jasmine, peony and rose. The fruitiness remains throughout the development of this scent, but the floral accords balance out the tartness nicely.

Violet Eyes is quite pretty, feminine and suitable for all ages. I think avid fans of Elizabeth Taylor will enjoy this as well as the younger consumers, who will no doubt wonder who on Earth she was. I'm glad she released one last fragrance before her passing, and I'm glad it was this one, a homage to her famous violet coloured eyes.

Despite my disappointment in there being no violet notes present, this fragrance lasts quite well and is pleasingly subtle and somewhat fresh. I think it captures Elizabeth Taylor and her charm realistically, and although Violet Eyes may never be as popular as White Diamonds, I'm certain it will sell well over these next coming months.

I bought a lovely bottle of this juice today,blind.Its one of the few I havent been sorry I bought.It is unlike all her others First smell is exactly like a big,dew kissed alberta peach! Sweet and drlicious.U can almost feel the juices running down ur chin as u tear into the fleshy meat of the fruit.Then my favorite scent of all,jasmine waifs up to caress my nose.It smells so fresh and the fact it is seasoned with roses,only adds to the lovliness.The florals blend SO well with the sweetness of the peaches!

The dry down is a wonder of wonders.I absolutely love big,fragrant peonies with their heads turned toward the sun or when their massive heads bow down in a gentle spring rain.I would love to bury my face in one.Peony is a very prominate note.But,then their is cedar which adds even more personality to this beauty.Slightly woody and earthy smelling.The cap of the whole fume is seductive amber.It comes in and binds the whole of the juice into one wonderful fume.Not too much amber tho,just enough to warm it up.

Now,this is a fume I could see dear Liz wearing.It is as beautifulb as she was!

The only thing I needed to smell is that it smells exactly like one of my favorite perfumes!

To me it smells exactly like LUSCIOUS PINK by Mariah Carey. :D

It must be the peach and floral notes, Mariah Carey's has Belini. I think that is a peach flavored cocktail which is where the sweetness comes from, and also tropical flowers. It is interesting that the list of notes are a little different between the two but to my nose they smell almost identical.

So of course I love it. This one I noticed did stay a lot longer. One of the downsides to Luscious Pink, is that it is very light and fades pretty quickly, unless you spray your clothes also.. but it is also very sweet so you have to be careful not to do that though.. it can be cloying. So I sprayed in moderation.

I sprayed one wrist with my Fave, and the other with Elizabeth Taylor's Violet Eyes...

I might have to compare again... but to tell you the truth I really couldn't tell the difference they are so similar. And this one lasted longer. The wrist with Luscious Pink faded pretty quickly, and the one with Violet Eyes actually stayed on me for a little while. It seems a little stronger. (It's Elizabeth Taylor... so I expected as much. ~ But VERY surprised to see such a light feminine and sweet scent come from her line! Very very pleased :D

I have never been able to wear her scents. So I was shocked. Let's just say when testing White Diamonds, a drop got onto my dresser and it pretty much melted the paint! Yeah... that scared me a little lol. (I have not been able to clean/ polish the mark off, where this perfume melted off the gloss of the paint. :( What do they put in that stuff?!? Yikes, White Diamonds!) Even a drop was way too strong for me. I had to wash off immediately. It is harsh. Although, I can't hate something my mother and grandmother loved so much... even though I could never wear it.

But at least this one is one all the younger women can wear too!!! :D So excited.

Nice Job! It is lovely. :)

I might try a bottle, once I run low of my fav. Luscious Pink. :) ... but that might be a while! lol. :D

This is not at all what I was expecting. I thought it would be Spring / Summer like and way more floral. I didn't like it all. Kind smoky - smoldering like,I am not sure. I was expecting something more like the wonderful color of the bottle.

initial blast reminds me immediately to Lanvin éclat d'arpège!

i swear i can smell lilac in it but it's not listet though. the drydown is also very éclat d'arpège alike - for me they are really quite the same. this one seems to have better staying power and the sillage is just wonderful!

the velvety peony smells beautiful trough the whole composition, accompanied by a powdery sweet breeze of jasmin petals and creamy rose. i just love it! it's creamy, yet powdery, fresh and carefree, very velvety, sexy and unbelievable feminine. the bottle is stunning as well!

bravo Carlos Benaim and bravo Liz! happy to have this nice perfume, now when Liz is gone, R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor, thank you for this lovely perfume!

nb. this was recently launched in 2010, but why then it's so hard to find and also more expensive compared to the other Liz' perfumes? is it discontinued maybe ?

I did test this not long after it came out and feel it's her most modern perfume. There are a few that are fresh and Spring floral perfumes- Sparkling and Brilliant White Diamonds. She went in a different direction with this one and it's well done. It's similar to some fragrance trends going on right now, but she had it made so it will endure. My mom wears White Diamonds and I have a small bottle myself just because it's a classic. I can still remember when that debuted. I was 8 years old! I think I'm going to buy this one. I love the ad, bottle, and scent. Well done, Elizabeth. This is the last one, and somehow it fits. I cannot imagine a finale for her perfumes better than Violet Eyes.

"Light shades of Purple Rose and Violet Peony, combined with velvety accents of White Peach, express a weightless and bright femininity, while a voluptuous blend of Cedar Wood and Amber convey the powerful sensuality and mystery of Elizabeth Taylor's eyes."

"I love floral fragrances, and wanted Violet Eyes to make women feel beautiful, sophisticated, and sensual. It was a great joy to create Violet Eyes with a bouquet of fragrance notes that I adore, carefully fine-tuning every aspect of it. Everything, down to the last detail, comes from my heart and my soul. I send this fragrance into the world with love..."

What a lovely fragrance. Almost a fruity floral. Just slightly sweet, not overbearing. Reminds me of walking through a flower garden as the wind is blowng and catching whiffs of fragrant flowers.

I am not a fan Elizabeth Taylor perfumes but this one is just so lovely! Light and elegant floral, crystal clear, not too sweet, soft like velvet - it is just perfect. Strikingly similar to Omnia Amethyste, except somewhat stronger. I could defintiely wear this!

The dry down is slightly powedery and reminds of Kenzo Flower a bit. It is exceptionally long lasting on me.

I wasn't expecting to like this, Taylor's perfumes seemed matronly and outdated even when they were new. But Violet Eyes has a contemporary feel. It's subtle, soft, and clear as glass. The notes are so perfectly blended you can't distinguish any of them, they blend into a perfect whole. This could be a "go to" perfume: right for any occasion, time of year, time of day. It's just lovely and so is the bottle.

This is a big surprise! I really like this fragrance. It's not overpowering and it is quite modern unlike anything from Elizabeth Taylor that I've tried. It's fresh and slightly powdery. No white flowers here for me but the peony-like note shines. Overall I think it's a very comfy scent that anyone can enjoy. It will probably end up at many discount store soon.

In addition, it reminds me so much of the discontinued Bath & Body Works Lavender Vanilla Aroma Therapy collection from the early 2000's, and White Musk from the Body Shop.

I have been wanting to try this scent for so long.

Finally I tested it tonight.

I was very careful when spraying because all my exp. in the with ET pefume are they are soooo strong.

I was surprised that this was not like that at all- in fact after a couple hrs. I can barely smell it.

I agree with an earlier review that it is missing the X factor.

It reminds me of the little bottles of dime store perfumes my cousins and I used to love growing up - watered down floral--that is a nice memory :)

One thing I do love about this perfume is the bottle so pretty . I may go back and get it when it is on sale.

I love this scent! I have her only mens scent PASSION; but her other female scents are a little too much for me, (I never smelled Brilliant WD yet)but this is a stunning perfume!

The top is lightly sweet, but not overly fruity, (must be snow, or white peach-and it WAS) but gives it a slight fresh air. The heart is foral, but very refined and well blended. Carlos Benaim-I should have known, the master of understated beauty. This has no violets, true; and I'm actually glad. The powdery nature of violet could have made this too heavy. The purple rose (hybrid roses usually smell much more subtle, unless cultivated for the scent) and jasmine create a wonderful flowery breeze, that smells as if you were around flowers but did not roll in a flower patch. The drydown is woody and warmly sweet and the peony adds some sophistication without an overly "rich" heavy base. All in all, this is a very agreeable scent that is well made, refined and classy...kind like Liz herself!!

Sillage: good
Longevity: decent
Overall: 3.5/5

I adore the color purple and lilacs are my favorite flower of all time. This is something that I would wear. It is feminine but it is so well blended and the drydown is awesome. Maybe it is because I always wanted 'violet eyes' instead of my brown ones, I don't know...but this is a real class act!!

This is a great fragrance, the notes are well blended making it hard to pick out any one. It makes me think of Omnia Amethyst but with a brighter twist. It has the same soft edge as the Omnia line. Unfortunately it's the twist, possibly the peach (even though I love peach) that takes it into a strange area for me. Still very nice and very different from her others.

Elizabeth Taylor has eyes so blue that they appeared to be violet in the movies. She was known for having violet eyes. This is where the name came from for this one. However, it does not smell like violets. Violet Eyes is a unique floral and not just a violet perfume.

I picked up the tester at Macy's a few months ago and sprayed, expecting violets in the mix.

No violets.

I sniffed again. A light fruity note, not too sweet... rose and peony... a quiet, subtle drydown... no violets.

No violets!

Don't get me wrong, Violet Eyes is perfectly nice, a pretty, pleasant, well-mannered floral. I was just stunned to find violet on the advertising, violet in the name, and no violets in the fragrance. WEIRD.

I might get this for my Mom. She loves Elizabeth Taylor perfumes. But what does this smell like? Is it sweet, or is it spicy or fuity? Is it a light scent, or does it full bodied? Does one smell the peach, or the rose?

Main point - Very "Pretty" scent and likable by most people and very common. A lot of floral scent similar to this one were produced in the past two years and VE is not the best representation of those trends. Also a little boring,missing the x factor. Also it's very linear. Flora by Gucci and lovely by jp better options in my opinion.

I received a magazine from Macy's today that included a sample of Violet Eyes inside (paper strip sample) and I just LOVE it! It has a softly floral opening (I don't catch the peach at all, thank goodness) and quickly moves on to the lovely woodsy notes that I love. I am definitely adding this to my "I must have a bottle of this" list!

I don't know what it is....? But I really love the way this smells. Smells amazing to me in fact! ;'D It is a bright scent that's mildly floral and a perfectly sweet. I can't identify the individual notes but they all blend so well. It's clean, feminine and very pretty. ;') As someone mentioned previously it also smells very sophisticated. Have never been interested in an Elizabeth Taylor scent but I wouldn't mind adding this to my collection. ;')


Update: Now that I have it I totally adore it. This smells nothing like Daisy or Luscious Pink but much better. Isn't scratchy or stuffy but just right. IMHO it has the perfect balance of citrus/fruit, forals and vanilla with a pretty good lasting power. Compliments are many. ;'D

I smelled this one at Macy's and was delighted by the smell. I was never one for her fragrences simply because I was too young for the whole White Diamonds craze. It is so pretty.

WOW! When I saw the "eye-catching" poster and clever fragrance name my breath was taken away by Elizabeth Taylor's captivating beauty, charm, and elegance. The bottle is pure sophistication and the scent is heavenly. LOVE IT!

I really did like this but it reminded me toooo much of Luscious Pink. In a few ways it does have it's own scent, but in more ways does it resemble Mariah's Luscious Pink. I wanted to support Elizabeth Taylor, but I already have L.P :(. The bottle is beautiful!
