I’ve become pretty indifferent to this over the years. I used to like it a lot, on other people, and thought it was interesting because being from a very rural area, it was one of the first “non-drug store” perfumes that I smelled on others. I thought it smelled especially great on one particular friend, so I bought a bottle thinking I’d smell just like her. When I applied it on myself, I was immediately turned off as I thought I’d smelled like I’d rolled around in dirty hay; the marigold note unfortunately doesn’t favor me here, although I’ve loved it in a couple of other fragrances. This will serve as a piece of history in my collection, but that’s it.

On a clear winter morning, I applied Liz Claiborne, the perfume for ladies of the 80s who had a career, had it going on, had James Spader falling at their feet. It was a sample size and it was full of vintage marigold and oakmoss. I felt the sweet fruity power of the 80s propelling me toward the cash flow. I donned a black and white plaid miniskirt and a black v neck sweater, pantyhose and conservative black heels. Yes, pantyhose. The 80s had my back, remember? Anyway, that’s what you were supposed to wear to a conservative office job interview, as my childhood memories of my mother had taught me.
I got the job and I also got a full size triangle bottle of Liz Claiborne (in blue). The marigold note ended up being super prominent on my skin and ultimately this felt TOO dated, which is not something I say about many perfumes. Something about it though, seems VERY “80s trendy” Not sure I would buy it again for that reason and also because it reminds me of that job which I ended up regretting taking.

Wow it’s literally been over 30 years since I have smelled this fragrance. I think I was 17 when it was released. I had recalled for some reason a super sweet and heavy perfume. I obtained a vintage retro bottle. How we tend to forget.. boy the packaging was so 80’s. So anyhow, I was impressed that I my memory of the fragrance was off. I was thinking it would be this raunchy dated heavy thing but low and behold, it still smells pretty acceptable to today’s standards. This is the EDT version. I think it would be a cool addition to any perfume lovers collection and the price is cheap as well. For those who are dabbling newly into collecting vintage scents this is a very good start. I personally am not crazy about some vintages as they are somewhat dated to my nose. However this one really is not. Also, I sprayed the EDT on my wrist last night and it’s 1pm I still smell it faintly. That’s a good 11 hours later.

I would like to thank the reviewer Zyby, about 10 posts below me. I had bought an older bottle of this perfume, and was very disappointed to find that it smelled disgusting and awful! Surely this wasn’t the perfume I had such fond memories of.
Anyway, I was reading these reviews and discovered this review that talks about cleaning out the nozzle and squirting several sprays into a kleenex to empty the sprayer where the scent may have oxidized. I tried this on my vintage bottle and much to my surprise, out came the delicious scent that I remembered from years ago.
I was so delighted and happy to smell it again! It reminds me of being young on a bright summer day, just after a fresh rain. So thanksful I read these reviews before I prematurely threw my vintage bottle out!

“Liz Claiborne” smells like morning. Seriously. It smells like crunchy, oily greens, dewy woodchips and asphalt and dewy, ozonic roses being hit by sunbeams, a little dash of wet dirt, crisp morning air and all against a textured, complex woodsy grass base that smells like dried hay bales dampened from the evening.
At some points it smells like a frosty or crisp morning, at other points, an autumn morning with leathery fallen leaves wet from the night and at still others, the cool moment before a steamy Summer day begins. Freshness that isn’t sterile. That’s “Liz Claiborne”.
FlollimiBut – :
This perfume came out in 1986, and I remember everyone and their mother had a bottle of this. Such a distinct, 80s, floral/ green scent. The base notes give it some depth. The reviewer below who says it’s all blended and smells like “Liz Claiborne” is right. This perfume makes me think of flowered jeans, pants/ jeans tucked into your socks, Balloons sneakers, Esprit sweatshirts in loud colors, big hair, Ultima II make up, drinking peach schnapps at HS parties. I have so many memories of this floral fragrance, I think we all put away Paris and Anais Anais for a while when this came out. Very mid- late 80s type of a scent, great one to use for sensory time travel, I have it on now :).
den61rus – :
All day I was enveloped in this scent, and it brought back such wonderful memories of being young and carefree. Life was so much easier back then! I don’t wear Liz too often, but every time I do, I feel so happy!
A lot of people call it a “green” scent, but I get very little green. I don’t like green, so I’m glad. I just get an almost-soapy floral vibe. It is a very distinct scent and very late 80’s-early 90’s! There is nothing like Liz. I even smile when I see the plastic triangle. I had the yellow one growing up, and that’s what this is to me: a happy, yellow scent! Slightly sweet, and glowing from the inside out. I have a vintage mini and a newer EDT red triangle. They still have amazing sillage and longevity. I love it!
Bodibilder – :
I like it. It reminds me of Cachet at the start, then it turns soapy then after an hour it leaves a flowery smell on the skin – I think that’s the Freesia and violet. It doesn’t wash off easily so it has great staying power. My eighties perfume was Gloria Vanderbilt. I guess because it was the cheaper one back then. But if I was able to afford this perfume, I would have bought it. It does smell sort of like Halston classic, one that I did wear and was not expensive.

Gaaaaaah – this brings back some SERIOUS 90’s memories. To the person below who said Rave hairspray – are you me? Because I have the SAME memories. This was a cast off of my mother’s, she got a set for Christmas and she didn’t like this, said it was tacky. I took it on and I remember suffocating under it’s green floral cloud, now that I can appreciate perfume I would love to smell this again, because just looking at the bottle gives me some pretty intense high-school-dance vibes. It’s interesting to me that this has tuberose in it because I remember it being so screechy and green.

I had a hankering to smell this again and so I bought a vintage bottle on ebay and OH BOY, is this fragrance gorgeous and seriously under appreciated.
It’s one of those distinctive eighties scents where you cant actually pick out notes, it just smells like Liz Claiborne, a red triangle, from the eighties. You know, its a scent that has become a thing, its own thing. And while nothing else smells like it, I do think it has some similarity to Lauren, and I can understand why since they both share a lot of the same notes like carnation, oakmoss, violet and rose. Liz has the addition of amber and sandalwood, and don’t think I’m crazy but, the dry down of Lolita Lempicka reminds me of this fragrance a bit. And I’m not sure why. Its probably the violet and amber notes.
Anyway this is some kickbutt juice. I hate, hate the bottle. I always hated it because I see it as tacky. But I accept it and enjoy the gorgeous fragrance.
Work friendly, great all year round, men love it, great 80’s memories, better in the day, but can work anytime. Its a keeper.

Scored a vintage bottle of Liz Claiborne pure perfume on EBay a few weeks ago..It is absolutely breathtaking! Such a joyful, feminine fragrance–an instant mood lifter. It’s perplexing why this beauty was ever discontinued.

This is a childhood scent–my mom’s signature. I can say I liked it, except that she tended to overdo it, out of love of the fragrance. It makes me smile.

By coincidence, I happened to be wearing this fragrance when I read the negative review below mine and I had to laugh. We’re all so different. On the other hand, my first encounter with this fragrance was a bit odd as well, so here’s my story.
One day this past autumn, I was in a retro state of mind and blind-bought LIZ CLAIRBORNE during a sale at a local drugstore. I had no idea what to expect, but at first spray, I thought it was so awful that I had to wash it off after a few minutes. I put the bottle back into the box and fished the receipt out of the recycling bag so that I could return it. But then, it occurred to me that the scent wasn’t just that of a bad perfume, it was that of a perfume that had gone bad. It also occurred to me that as this fragrance isn’t a hot seller, the bottle probably had been around long enough for residue in the nozzle to have oxidized. I decided to give it another shot. This time, I sprayed the fragrance into a tissue several times before trying it on myself again. It turned out that I’d been correct and the problem was just gunk in the nozzle! Later on, it occurred to me to check the batch code and I discovered that I’d purchased a 2010 bottle. No wonder!
Once I had a clean sprayer, I discovered that the fragrance actually is quite nice. Definitely retro and definitely weird, but nice none-the-less. LIZ CLAIBORNE has a very definite personality. It’s spicy, heady, green, warm and earthy. The dominant floral notes I pick up are marigold, tuberose and star-gazer lily. Luckily, I don’t pick up any of the “barnyard” notes that some reviewers have mentioned, but it might depend on the batch. It’s not at all sweet and there’s no vanilla or dominant fruit notes. This is a fragrance to wear when you’re feeling confident and quirky and are wearing an outfit to match. This isn’t a pastel kind of scent! The sillage is moderate, but one or two sprays will do it and longevity is decent. It’s best in cooler weather, but I sometimes wear fragrances “off-season.” Also, although I like this fragrance, I couldn’t recommend it as a blind buy unless you can return it easily.
It’s impossible to review LIZ CLAIBORNE without mentioning that the bottle design needs an extreme make-over. The plastic frame around the glass bottle is tacky-looking and the chunky triangular shape is unwieldy.

I saw this at Marshalls’ and had a twenty dollar gift certificate to use up. I was bored and they didn’t have much in the way of womens’ fragrances right then and I saw this one. I don’t usually “blind buy” as you guys say, but as I said, bored so took a chance. Man, what a mistake. The horrid “hay” smell I think was the oak moss, and I think that marigold should be a banned substance when it comes to womens’ fragrance. What a nasty combination, marigold and oakmoss. I couldn’t get back to Marshall’s fast enough to take this stinker back. I ended up getting Elizabeth Arden Provocative Woman instead at another store. I know I said I wasn’t a big fan of EA but this one is actually really nice, as I am a fan of woodsy florals and it’s nicely done and pretty good lasting power, for 50 ml at 10 dollars Canadian a pop I think I did good.
Live and learn about impulsive blind buys, sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, caveat emptor. Just make sure when you take that leap of faith the store has a good return policy.
Meeop305InsuffBooni – :
Sampling a drop of this on my wrist from a (vintage) mini, I love it! It is an obviously ‘retro’ perfume from a couple decades back but it is so complex. Xanman below referred to a ‘barnyard’ accord, which I definitely get but not in an unpleasant way; perhaps fresh hay with just a hint of cattle hoof. I probably won’t purchase a full bottle unless I am certain it is vintage but I sure will keep this mini around to allow for a sniff or two once in a while.
Mr.haos95 – :
Please don’t be put off by the err- well haha tacky bottle. Or the eighties stigma. This is a stunner. Absolutely gorgeous and unique. A versatile frag that can be worn any hour and time of the year. It smooth and seamless from first spray to dry down.
It’s a starts off very buoyant, the fruits and flowers make for a happy, optimistic start.. There is much more coming however, I smell grass , and a tad bit of barnyard. I don’t find this off- putting cause, well I am a country girl. It’s still very subtle…The barnyard tapers off and the earthiness of the oakmoss appears- and anchor to the initial happy burst of the top notes which were once so prevalent-now remain in the background. This stage of drydown lasts forever.
And that’s a blessing because it’s really beautiful..

Love this scent, grassy and floral….smooth …..
barsi – :
Liz Claiborne was the first “non-Avon” perfume I ever owned. My dad has a tradition with us girls (me, mom and my niece) where every Christmas he buys us a perfume that he chooses. When I was 14, he bought me this and I wore it religiously throughout high school, until a beau replaced it with CK’s Obsession in 1990. I was 14 in 1986 and this frag has the ability to take me back in a time warp to that age, the chunky knit sweaters I wore with the matching socks, pegged jeans and Reebok high top sneaks.
From the initial spray of this onto my skin, it’s green and herbaceous (hello oakmoss and bergamot!)…for about 3 minutes, it then develops into a creamy tuberose blanket that envelops everything in its vicinity. I get no fruit from this-no rose-no lilac. (The plethora of notes that people pick up on this are totally lost on me, btw). The carnation, marigold and ylang-ylang however are also on-board, though not nearly as front and center as that divine tuberose.
I have a love-hate relationship with tuberose, as some frags in my collection are absolutely stifling because of it (looks at Brilliant White Diamonds) and white flowers, in general because they can be so chokingly over powering. Tuberose is very well balanced on me in the Liz Claiborne though, a balance I attribute to the oakmoss and that mysterious green note that somehow reminds me of fresh-cut grass.
I find that Liz Claiborne has a lot in common with Ralph Lauren’s Lauren, another greenish carnation/oakmoss concoction that I like to wear. (There is more of a lilac note in Lauren, though. It’s a bit sweeter than this.)
I keep a bottle in my collection at all times, partially because the price point is pretty decent, partially because I do enjoy wearing it, but mostly because it always brings memories of my daddy at Christmas time to mind. He has great taste in frags and I owe him a thank you for bringing this one into my life. It’s been with me now for nearly 30 years.
Long live Liz!

This one packed a major punch. I never wore Liz Claiborne fragrance, but I always enjoyed it. It was very much a rose perfume, with a lot of oakmoss, to my nose; like Perfumer’s Workshop Tea Rose mixed with Mitsouko. Back in the ’80s, this was up there with Giorgio and Poison when it came to potency, but Liz Claiborne was more refined. It was comfortably sported by grandmothers, mothers, and teenagers alike. It was a country club luncheon scent rather than something worn to punk bars. When given the option to be gifted a bottle of this,I chose Ombre Rose over Liz. I’m not sure I’d make the same choice, all these years later. I remember a girl in my undergrad Anthropology class, wore this perfume so heavily that 3 days a week she released enough fumes to suffuse an entire lecture hall. After an hour, you came out wearing Liz whether you liked it or not. I didn’t know the girl, but I can still picture her so clearly: big, curly red-brown hair, brown courdoroy peacoat, LL Bean sweaters, navy Duckies boots, Calvin Klein jeans, and bright gold jewelry. Every inch of her was saturated in rosy Liz Claiborne. This fragrance added warmth to gloomy winter days. I need to buy a bottle of it, finally.
tom123 – :
This floral cheerfully sparkles, even without aldehydes.
The slightly strident edge of greenness is a little like some soft detergents, with lilies, lilac and tuberose. The tuberose and narcissus may be what take this to another level with the aid of violets and freesia.
Surprisingly, this is not as sweet as expected and it has a haunting, contented warmth under the florals, perhaps created by the oakmoss, peach, amber and marigold. It’s slight greenness is persistent. I believe it’s individuality is based on the unique effect of narcissus.
Good sillage and longevity. Best in spring or summer, unless you want to amp up it’s subtle edginess. This is an obvious floral, but it can also scream “Woman!” on the right chemistry!

I wore this lost exclusively years ago. Time marches on. Today’s fragrances are less alcoholic and just better. Ok. Not great.
serik_zp – :
Funny what frags bring memories to you; how they can move you to attempt to recapture…something.
My mother wore this scent. It was very of the time; strong, bold, female. I loved it, and knew when she wore it, she was also wearing a smile; going someplace special.
I now wear it. I have for over ten years. I have only gotten more compliments wearing Jil #4.
Not only does it last on my scent-eating skin, but it still smells incredible. It still makes me feel amazingly sexy. It still makes me think of my mother dressed up, smiling, on her way to something special.
EDIT:
My daughter, who was ready for a “Grownup scent”, choose this as her first one yesterday. I was ready to just cry; she is now the third gen to wear this lovely fragrance in my family.
Bottle: 8/10
Juice 10/10
Chakysha – :
This has me very confused.
An extremely alcoholic/boozy peachy opening. And then a really sweet indescribable oddity. Is it hay? Is it fruit? Is it peaches? Is it cow dung? No it cannot be, but it smells strongly of fields and hay. This is another one to use sparingly. It is so strong I cannot make out any individual notes. Although on closer inspection with a very worried nose, I am getting oakmoss, sandalwood and ylang ylang with jasmine in there somewhere. This is a very sharp, strong fragrance.
igorR – :
Another one that I loved but had to be content with testers and the occasional sample vial due to my grandmother’s dislike of most perfumes. Luckily I was able to find the yellow bottle at a flea market nearly 3/4 full and I was in heaven! Another 80’s powerhouse scent and I probably overdid it occasionally. I had to hide my yellow bottle out of fear of my grandmother confiscating it but it brings back memories of high school, huge hair, bright colors and looking forward to adulthood.
wpf296Diobtetty – :
I always liked this fragrance. Its timeless. I had it years and years ago and bought it again a few years back. Not something I wear often, but when I do it is like a long lost friend. It is strong so just a squirt, maybe two is enough. It is fresh and clean. Lasts all day/night.
Brataxe – :
I just LOVED this fragrance. The bottle was a bright red triangle–so different from my mom’s perfumes. And at 15 years old I wanted a scent that was my own. It was the first perfume that really stood out to me and made me think “ooh, I wanna smell good!”. I would love to smell it again. Oh the memories!
nikeha – :
This review is for the 80’s version (mine was a red bottle).
I ADORED this wonderful scent…but after my father told me I smelled like horrible, women’s BO when I wore it, I never touched this stuff again.
I think that just sums it up. On me–nasty. Perhaps on you, it’d smell better.
toscha.denisow2010 – :
SOOOOO Disappointed. I wore this years ago and liked it. So when I bought this again today I was a bit surprised when I sprayed it and it took my breath away (and not in a good way I might add). It smelled like a field of fresh mowed grass which had been sprayed with a really strong weed killer. Hopefully, it’s just my body chemistry. I’m now going to take a shower and get this stink off of me.
ylj425Unlogrere – :
I believe both the formulation and the packaging on this scent have changed drastically. The best I can recall, this perfume was quite potent and originally came in any of the 3 plastic bottles- red, blue, or yellow- in a strong concentration. The notes above must be for the original; they bear little semblance to the liquid in the new bottle.
The bottle I bought today came in a white box with references to the tri-color palette of past, but upon opening was simply a glass triangle with a blue plastic inverted triangular top. My review is for this new bottle, and likely new formulation, in edt concentration.
First spritz is a toxic mess of chemicals and alcohol. I was very skeptical that this was even a perfume at all. In a few minutes, light white florals came in, then a heart of grass oil, followed by some rose and freesia, which was pleasant, albeit simplistic and still chemical in feel. The base remains green-sweet atop a ubiquitous “white musk” base I have come to abhor.
This perfume is very much in the style of the current version of Paul Sebastian’s Casual, but is greener. Both have decent compositions, but an imbalance of synthetics to natural- synthetics being cheaper these days- and poor concentration and sillage.
I rather liked this, in the way one would enjoy a home spray. All in all, this scent turned out OK, and with more natural ingredients and a decent base, it might have hit a home run.
Compare to: Extravagance de Amarige by Givenchy, Daliflor by Dali, XS by Paco Rabanne, and Casual by Paul Sebastian.
Vektorian – :
Years ago I worked with a girl who wore this and smelled like the most gorgeous bouquet of roses all day long! On me though! Meh. This was the first time it truly dawned on me that fragrances smell different on everyone and why perfume salespersons drive me insane when they think spraying something they’re hawking on a piece of car stick is going to get me to buy anything from them! I refuse on principle alone! Also, all that’s seems to be available now is the EDT and they’ve got to be 20 years old. Expecting it to smell anything like it did when it was first bottled is just asking too much. Great late 80s-early 90s scent.
yunemo – :
One of the first perfumes I haven’t smelled on someone else but (finally) liked all by myself. I was still a kid when this came out and although it looked so cheap by comparison to my Mum’s perfumes, I loved the fragrance and recall thinking it would be something I wanted when I turned 18. Well, fortune smiled on me one day as my neighbor’s older sister was gifted a bottle of it and she didn’t like it so she gave it to me.
It was a large bottle but my impetuous young self did what any kid would do. DOUSE YOURSELF WITH IT!! I used to try and trick my Great Grandma & Grandma with it, saying “I already took a bath, see? I smell pretty!” and more often then not, they’d let me get away with it (for a day). The fragrance lasted me about half a year as I learned to be moderate with it since I could see through the little window that I was running out of it and heaven only knew how long it would be til I had it again. And lets face it, when you’re a kid…hitting 18 seemed like FOREVER.
I haven’t smelled it since then but I sure wouldn’t mind ordering myself one again just to jog the memory. I am sure it would take me back to that happy time when I felt so grown up already picking out what perfume would suit ME.
Very PRETTY and sweet fragrance.
Deform – :
As a pre-teen back in the 1980’s, I somehow came across a sample of this from Belk.
I was instantly infatuated. I thought it was beautiful. To me, it was what I thought a young woman with a great life would smell like. I imagined that the girls who wore this would have a bright future. I thought if I could get a bottle, my older-boy crush would fall helplessly into my arms. I imagined Rob Lowe would swoon if he smelled it on me. (Yes, I’m old.)
Anyway, this fragrance is an assertive-yet-extremely-feminine reminder of 1980’s fragrance. Say what you will about 80’s power scents, but in the 1980’s, fragrance was fragrance. There was no pandering to make a scent that appealed to everyone. Today, every five minutes a fragrance comes out, but they all smell the same – either a fruity teeny-bopper juice or an airy/watery/forgettable “perfume.” Design houses – not fly-by-night celebs – made distinct, soshisticated, grown-up fragrances, so for that alone, I will always appreciate fragrances from that era.
This scent a beautiful yellow-floral composition that stills elicits complements from perfect strangers when I wear it. The sillage is perfect. I keep a bottle around for good measure. I will always adore this fragrance.
loaf – :
I have a huge full bottle of this stuff. It’s a great bathroom spray. It’s very strong and smells really green and clean to me. I like it, but it kind of makes me sneeze. I sprayed it on my brother and thought it smelled really nice on him so I told him he could have it if he wanted. can be unisex but it’s more feminine to me. it’s just too strong.
hobotoff – :
I’ll be dipped! There’s carnation in this?? I have not smelled this in decades. But having gone through high school in the 80’s, I can tell you what a joyous departure this was for a young woman wanting some life in her beauty products. There were so many austere tones in the day. Varying shades of gray: Estee, Charlie, Emeraude, Chanel No 5. Then the heavy cloaks of Opium and Youth Dew. But here comes COLOR, depth! Yet simple and clean. I wanted to wear this but mother scolded me it was too old. Then why were all the old people so boring?? I just might sneak a cheapie at the drug store to see if it does anything for my skin today. (Now that I’m old! ha!)
Cobil – :
Very woody and musky, it reminds me of Halston Couture. I don’t smell any flowers, just woods and greens. If you like powerful complex scents this is for you. I have the original eau de parfum, the one in the silver triangular bottle. It was a blind buy that I ended up regretting. By the way, it smells unisex.
yaroslav_2905 – :
I am not sure when the reformulation happened but I believe it was quite a few years ago. Really it wasn’t even a reformulation, the 2 fragrances have nothing in common.The original was powerful and distinctive, one spray would radiate for hours. The new version is tepid and generic. One can take a bath in it and smell nothing a half hour later.
I am fortunate enough to have a bit of the original, which I seldom wear due to its pungency. For some reason it reminds me of Christmas 1988. I keep it for the memories, but it seems dated.
Fumeguelo – :
I do not get any of the fruity scents from this one and I have to say it is overpowering and definitely would not re-purchase again. I can see my mom or grandma liking it.

I had this when it first came out. I thought it strong like most 80s scents, but often wore it to work. I wouldn’t repurchase it to relive the decade though.

I always wanted to like this fragrance, because in the 80s and 90s, it was so very popular and people kept giving it to me as gifts…. birthdays, college graduation, send off to grad school… and I just couldn’t stomach the stuff. Sadly, because everyone wore it. Haven’t smelled it in ages and I sniffed it again somewhere… maybe Ulta? It’s as annoying and over the top as I remembered it. Fortunately, its fans seem to be fickle, and I almost never smell it on anyone anymore. Just like the other two annoyances of the period — CK Obsession and Ralph Lauren Lauren.
ojr820Unlogrere – :
This is a fragrance I rediscovered. I liked it well enough in the late eighties, but then stopped wearing it because it was all over the place! Found it again at Marshall’s, I think I paid around $12 for it. It’s a scent that is very recognizable and I think very different than many of the heavier, spicy, animalic perfumes of its day. It’s really nice. I get a lot of fruit from top notes to dry down. Juicy pear and peach notes combined with freesia and a fresh, green undercurrent. It’s very cheerful! I think that it is a spring and summer scent, I can’t see reaching for it in the colder months, but I’m loving it right now.
Toshikgus – :
It has been years since I have smelled this, but I wore this awhile and it is a very clean, sporty fragrance that would wear well as an everyday type casual scent that could transition into sports or outings at a park. With my chemistry, this is “low key” and could be worn at an office where other fragrances may be over powering.
This is pleasant, clean, sporty, fun, light, and playful.
medvedut – :
Very disgusting smell, don’t have anything else to say.
KarlosK – :
Tried this for the first time in a long time. Even though I am using the perfume, Liz Claiborne is not staying on my skin, and has almost no sillage. The scent is a nice one, but useless if even I can’t smell it after the first hour.
Scotsseitmege – :
This was my signature scent in High School, I LOVED it! I wish I could find a scent that I love today as much as I loved this. I don’t think I could wear it now though, a bit too youthful maybe. Sigh…. ahh

My mother used to wear this all the time to work when I was a little child, and I LOVED it on her. She smelled so beautiful and now everytime I smell this scent all I see is my beautiful mother. She had the yellow one. Alone, I’m not a big fan of it, but with her body chemistry it was amazing.

This is a really good fragrance. It is so nice. It has a wonderful aroma and a wonderful ending…happy
anton64rus – :
It is indeed in the class like Halston..shoulder pads,bi-level haircuts and these fragrances. I wore it in the eighties, and I can tell you that, like other fragrances, the vintage one lasts much longer, has less “chemical” smell to it, and the dry down on my wrist I keep sniffing, for hours. It has a sharp edge to it, like an overpowering rose at first spray. Then it dries down into a musky, almost ambergris-y scent that I love. My ex bought me a newer bottle of it, and I bought a vintage one off of ebay. The newer one wilts in comparison with the old one..there is a nasty chemical smell that put me off. I will keep my vintage one, thank you. It’s my “remember the 80’s” scent that I will keep when I need a good flashback to when I was young!

I’m new! Can someone explain to me what the “main accords” refer to? They only somewhat correspond to the notes…

I had to look this one up…I am feeling very nostalgic and scent is the magic transport to years past. This is a great fruity, floral, chypre. Everyone was wearing it and no one cared! The scent was for every professional young woman out there- It was part of the office attire. I am going out to get a bottle today. I can almost smell it now MMMMMMMMM!

oh man this one brings back memories of my childhood! lol my mom had the silver triangle and a black one as well i’ve been trying to research it but nothing comes up. This was my favorite one to sniff on her vanity when she wasnt home lol. I remember when i was a kid laying on my bed reading a book listening to a hair dryer going, and this rich womanly floral scent wafting up and down the hallways of my house while she was getting ready to go out. I’ve always put off buying it because i’m scared I wont like it but who knows maybe it’ll bring back some more sweet memories.

Wearing Liz again is like meeting up an old friend you haven’t seen in years. I believe they have taken this down a notch or two in intensity as I remember it being much stronger 20 years ago. It’s still a great floral to wear and is a good everyday scent. The base is strong enough to anchor all these flowers and fruits and is what I think keeps this lasting quite a long time on the skin.
