Liz Claiborne Liz Claiborne for women

My sister gave me a bottle of this probably 10-15 years ago. I thought the bottle was really cool (it was different at that time, and nicer), but the scent didn't work on me at all. It didn't smell appealing -- it's hard to describe -- it didn't smell like perfume to me. It smelled like something else. Not exactly a cleanser or a medicine, but definitely not my idea of a perfume smell. I can remember the smell (haven't even smelled it in many years) -- strong, icky-sweet, with a shallow, thin sour note thrown in. I know that some people have tastebuds that make them hate broccoli and other cruciferous veggies like brussels sprouts and cauliflower , although I love these veggies. I wonder sometimes if people have different "scent-buds" in their noses. This perfume might smell great so someone else, but to me, ugh.

I did not discover this perfume until the mid 90s.it was so different a friend was wearing it & me & my sister loved it.we went to the mall & bought two bottles.i rember it being very strong.i only wore a little bit.it was also the fall/winter when we discovered it so it reminds me of that time of year whenever I smell it.its a heavier sent so I'd say it's best for fall/winter.its very grown up smelling.not old,but something I'd wear to work,or during the day.not a sexy night scent IMO but def.stands out.its worth owning a bottle just to switch up scents.i plan to get one soon.time to build my perfume collection starting by going back in time.so many perfumes out now & soooo many smell alike!!! Time to get old school & get the ones that are unique!!!

I would have never ever imagined that I would fall head over heels for this fragrance again!!
I didn't even look at it at the perfume store!
The poor sales guy was trying to convince me to give it a try! To just smell it for crying out loud!
I looked at him with an indifferent look and said "..that? No way.. I wore that when I was 12 I guess.." and looked the other way... HaHa!
I came back 2 days later to pick up Guerlain's Cologne Du 68, and the sales guy suggested again that I should give that red triangle bottle a try! that its a very good buy (2 bottles for $16)... hmmm I thought ok I've nothing to lose...
And the minute I smelled that piece of paper I froze! I was stunned at how amazing this humble scent was!
At 35 this scent is on a totally different level than back when I was a kid/adolesent!
I dunno maybe its my chemistry!
It's actually a very mature ladylike fragrance, I would never have made the connection to the juvenile tri-color triangle bottles! And that was the main reason I had bought it as a kid back then! I just liked the bottle I guess bcz the fragrance itself did not impress me that much back then!
Anyway, to make a long story short, at the end I was convinced and decided to purchase the last two bottles of LC EDT! And I'm glad I did thanx to the sales guy!
And you know what, I totally agree LC really does remind me of Knowing, Diva, Shalimar and the like!

This was my first perfume. My grandmother gave it to me for Christmas. I was twelve years old. She also gave a LC handbag. The scent reminds very much of preadolescence . . . sweet, very sweet with a tinge of bitterness.

One of the first scents I experimented with back in grade school / jr high. I got a set as a present and felt so grown up lol. Haven't smelled or used it in years but I still remember it well - particularly that bright triangle bottle!

Liz Claiborne was, and is now one of my most treasured fragrances. Just one whiff and I'm magically transported back to the late '80s when life was good and I was young :D. Love, love, love it.

Wow! What do I say about this perfume....I am a child of the 80's. This fragrance was HUGE in the late 80's. I had a bottle and it made me feel really 'with it' at the time. I couldn't always afford Liz Clairborne clothes at that time, but would get a bottle of this as a gift. I remember how neat it was to have the plastic triangle of fragrance sitting on my dresser. I see a bottle of this on occassion in a department store and it makes me smile. I always have to go over to the bottle, take off the cap and give it a short squirt. I don't think it is anything I would wear any longer, but am fond of it all the same because of all the associations from the past.

Angel, the more I use it the more I like it! I don't think it's a good idea sometimes to test several entirely different perfumes side by side! Im going to wear it today....i don't find it heavy for summer weather!

For some reason I REALLY like this one! I like it better than Knowing, as Knowing is soapier and more 'drill sargeant' to me.

I have the original, and the EDP (Silver), and maybe it smells different, as ALWAYS, but I find it very suitable for job interviews/power & class jobs. This was the fragrance I wore to get my job in sales at DeBeers, with 8 male sales sharks plus me. I also wore it when I got my job at Mercedes Benz, again, 8 other men plus me.

It is high class, rich-sexy, and I find that it doesn't smell like many others. I love lilacs. June, hot, summer, sex......subliminally sexy.

Killer abs BTW Olga!

(I am thinking of using my REAL pic here too, but I like the anonymity. I DO look a LOT like my avatar). Kind of a Kim Basinger/Charo(coochi coochi!)/Old Barbie combo! HA HA!

Yes, I did give it another chance, this time without prior sniffing 5 perfumes (sweet ones) in a row. And it's prettty amazing how your nose can distort certain scents in comparison to others. Along standing Liz a pretty floral and refreshing fragrance,with great sillage and longevity. A great fragrance for casual wear in summer, especially hot weather. A bit on the boring side, so for me casual wear only. Anyway, I ended up with a large bottle so there must be something about it.
The more my collection expands the more i realize that the best fragrances were made in the 90's, 80's and earlier....just can't pass them up. Plus, a lot of them are so forgotten by now, that it makes them as unique as new.

I was very surprised that with the wide range of scents I like, after wearing this one for a while I found it very harsh and medicinal. I will give it another chance later on ...but for now i am glad I didn't buy it blindly.

Believe this was one of my first dept store fragrances, a simple floral I used in the 80's.

I've never seen the black triangle...I am intrigued...
maybe it is the PARFUM! I am drooling...

I have the silver EDP, and I LOVE this stuff! Shocked at the low LOVE rating above...

Very classy, friendly, strong & just lovely!

I like this smell, but once again, it brings back memories. When I was in junior high we had a teacher who wore it. The boys all had crushes on her. Anyway, you could literally smell her within a fifty foot radius. Luckily I liked the smell because it was STRONG! Today however, it reminds me of older people because of this.

I'm with JB78 - I fell in love with the freesia in Liz, and it was my signature scent in the 80's. With millions of other girls, I suppose. I don't wear it anymore, but it brings back good memories.

I wore this as a bath powder in middle school. I remember it smelling very clean and fresh and happy! Ahhh!

I whould descibe this as Flowers and Grease it was to sweet and Oily but i love the falcon shape triangles are my favotite
Shapes but i hate the scent

I have been wearing this fragrance since it first came out. I was 12 when I first go this fragrance and I have loved it ever since. I"m 34 now. You might think that a 12 year old and a 34 year old wouldn't have much in common, perfume-speaking, but I have never tired of it.

In some respects it is a typical 1980's white floral, but it so much more interesting than just lily, or gardenia, or tuberose. It is still modern and relevant.

The sandalwood, amber, and especially the musk keep it from being too "L.A. Law". It remains a great perfume for up and coming professionals to wear to the office. It makes a statement.

A very unusual combination of a fruity note with a clean one, the staying power isnt weak, I can hear my edt spray next morning. The scent isnt plain and easy,I agry that it is a very young smell. For every age.Every woman will find her lovely note from this scent.I can find a very attractive note of lilac and freesia with a fruity note and I love it.

i got this when it first came out. my dad took my sister and i shopping to pick our selves out something and we both choose perfume and this is what i picked. so when i smell this it reminds of that time!

I love this crisp green smell. Its beautiful but I will only ware it in the winter because it is so strong! I don't ware this very often though but its very nice. Very strong Lilac in this scent.

Is my favorite fragance, I love it.

My taste really changed on this one. When I got it, it seemed fresh and lively. I put it away with my spring and summer clothes, and when I got it out it seemed WAY too heavy. It didn't even smell good to me and I gave it away. May have been a change in my skin chemistry or just a change in what "fresh" meant in a fragrance.

Lasts and smells good.I don't wear it often but when I do I enjoy it.

I'm thinking about trying this one! My skin seems like it 'tames' even the strongest perfumes though.

i always thought this was a classic. just the right amount of floral and powder you need to have that mature yet slightly sexy vibe. honestly, i've never quite smelt anything like this one before. it's not my fav but i don't mind it because it's a versatile one and has the tendency to give warmth. more suitable for the mature crowd, but i would still encourage everyone to wear what they love!

Powerful but unique scent! Green notes combined with the jasmine and Amber. Brings me back to the 80's side ponytail and all!!

It's a great fragrance.... fruity yet floral. I agree it is a bit strong, and does last all day.... smells awesome after a campfire too :D

This is a powerful scent. It can be very sweet and strong. It only takes a spritz or two and it lasts all day.
I used to wear this in my early 20's.
It is a young,carefree fragrance.
