middle notes
base notes
The success of Elzabeth Taylor's fragrance has motivated many other celebrities to launch their own perfumes. White diamonds is a thin floral fragrance, an example of top classics. The harmony of flowers and aldehydes in the top notes, together with the sharp base, give this fragrance an elegant vintage nuance. The top notes are aldehydes, bergamot, neroli, orange and lily. The heart unites the classical trio, violet, rose and jasmine, accompanied by ylang-ylang, Egyptian tuberose and narcissus. The base is composed of oak moss, patchouli, musk, sandalwood and amber. The perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1991.

I dont mind this fragrance, less tacky than I thought it was going to be.
With this fragrance, its pot luck whether it will smell good on your skin, on me it smells pleasent and lingers for ages.

This was really popular when it came out in the 90's. It smells like a oriental type but with less spice. I wore it a while but can't say it was a favorite.

At first I thought aldehydes = I won't like this fragrance, but I managed to convince myself to try this. I sprayed a small amount onto my wrist and I was quite surprised. Sure, it was powdery but there was something about it that was slightly appealing. However, a few minutes later the perfume became stronger and the aldehydes started to make me feel nauseous. When I tried to scrub this off my wrist, the task seemed almost impossible because the sillage was so strong.
I can only say that for fans of Chanel No.5, Anais Anais or soft, powdery scent lovers, this may be for you. For haters of aldehydes, stay far away from this one.

This was the first perfume I really liked as an adult. I first smelled it in a magazine in the mid 90's, and was smitten. It smells powerful and dynamic, with the tuberose and ylang-ylang giving it a warm, white note that lasts. I know may people have said it smells "old lady-ish" to them, but it doesn't read that way to me. This is a sophisticated scent, that in moderation, could work as a day or evening fragrance.

My late grandmother gave me this in middle school and I wore it passionately...I thought the sweet, musky dry-drown was the best smell in the world. Then I realized I felt that way because SHE wore it too. I might revisit this when I've reached at least the age of 40.

I agree with the other who said that this perfume is more for a mature consumer group [ over 35 ]. It's a retro, elegant scent that was intended for special occasions, IMO. It's for a confident woman.

my granny loves these type of scents...she's also in love with estee lauder pure linene, max factor blase and chanel no 5 all v floral, strong and powdery!

I agree it's quite strong but on some people it works. This along with opium and oscar de la renta 'oscar' are my mothers favorites. She can get away with them but I never could.

I read somewhere that if you have asthma,this can be one of the worst perfumes you can use. I guess maybe because it's so strong at first. I first smelled it years ago, it was given to me as a gift. Geeeez, it was sooo strong. I tried it again the other day and if you let it dry down a bit, it can actually be quite warm and inviting. I think a little goes a long way with this baby, so use sparingly. But yes, at first spray,especially if you use on test strip,it is very OLD LADYish, but try it on, just a bit, and wait a few hours,the the notes develop and it can be quite nice.

Agree, it smells "old woman". I gave it to my friend.

Used a tester at the store... screams "old person", and not in a good way. I personally like the smell of most old people, but those who wear stuff like this.. thank goodness my grandparents don't have stuff like this.

is it normal to spray perfumes on dogs? :S
anyway this perfume is strong but it's not bad, yet very retro for me.

Reminds me too much of some women I don't like (who wear it) - I spray it on the dog sometimes ...

While I don't like this one on me (on me it's headache-inducing!). This is my mother's signature fragrance and it smells beautiful on her. If it works with your chemistry it smells very rich, sophisticated and elegant. Sadly, it doesn't work with my chemisty, but I wish it did!

As much as I loathe the fragrance, I love it because it reminds me of my grandmother. But, aside from that connection, I hate it. It smells "old lady" -- too strong. It screams "headache" to me.
