I can’t comment on half those notes because IDK what half of them smell like. I do know that White Shoulders is my mom’s signature scent and – as soon as I sprayed this on my skin – as the notes warmed and bloomed, it immediately brought me to White Shoulders. What a beautiful blend. Ever watch, “From Here to Eternity”? When the moon is out in certain scenes and you see the silhouettes of the clouds and you just know there’s a warm breeze over the ocean waves? As soon as I smelled this, my mind went straight to that feeling you get when you watch those moments: relaxed, content, happy, peaceful. I just love Gardenia and I know it’s playing a major role. And all those other notes I know little-to-nothing about are dancing in sweet harmony to create a perfect feminine frag.

This is like Sparkling White Diamonds with more warmth, and just add citrus. It’s fresh and crisp, in a departure from the recent, more seductive WD Night flanker. Add a little cedar base for a modern, woodsy feel, and exotic Turkish rose for a distinctively formal heart.
This was a blind buy for me; $19.99 at the local TJ Maxx outlet. I couldn’t open it to test beforehand, and it’s not an available tester at any of the other major retailers. But I almost turned as big a cartwheel upon first spray as I did with Violet Eyes. Love & White Diamonds is akin to a luxurious, sparkling mimosa–zesty, refreshing and, quite versatile in wearability.
Well worth every cent of the surprisingly affordable sales price, and easier on the nose than some of these reviews argue. Longevity on clothing is roughly 4-6 hours of reliable projection, while on the skin, it’s 2-4 hours of loud, sweeping projection, and then basically a neroli/sandalwood skin-scent that radiates less than arm’s length beyond 3 1/2 to 4 hours. I’m hooked, though, and when you smell the drydown transformation over the course of the first hour, you’ll truly understand the beauty and worldly sophistication of Love & White Diamonds.

Love & White Diamonds:
I always try to give an honest & genuine review of all the Perfumes I have in my vast collection that I wear!! & Wow isn’t this also such a real beauty that I was glad to include into my Elizabeth Taylor Perfume Collection!!
At First spray I get the most lovely smell of pure fresh Neroli,followed by soft Mandarin Orange & Petie Grain,like a subtle sweetness being carried on a warm summer’s evening when your abroad on holiday!! Then enters the most amazing Turkish Rose, with more Tuberose for more added depth!! This is then followed by fresh Gardinia which really seem’s to bind this beautiful fragrance together with the added freshness & creamyness of this perfume is just absolutely gorgeous!! Like a warm cozy familiar hug from your loved one or someone very special in your life! The base of this Perfume is deffo Woody with notes of Cedar & Sandalwood followed closely with Musk!! This Perfume wear’s exceptional well on my skin in fact a good 10-11 hour’s & I just absolutely love the tenderness & calmness it brings with it!! I actually wore this last night going to bed after my shower,& my Husband actually remarked that I smelt absolutely wonderful!! (Not to night Sid) lol’lol’lol & I can honestly say he’s really fussy about my Perfume choices etc!! So that’s good that he seem’s to notice & like it on me!! & I could actually smell it just as strong when I rose to get up!!
Again the bottle is absolutely gorgeous & very expensive looking!! Peach coloured glass with beautiful Rose Gold accents add to the pure luxury of the Elizabeth Taylor Perfume Brand!! Again I think that Miss Taylor would be absolutely delighted about the way this perfume has turned out,& remember that Apricot & Peach seemed to play a big part in her Perfume Line!! So the bottle being this colour deffo would surely be a winner for her!! Yet again when I wear this Perfume out I never fail to get lovely compliments & asked what Perfume I’m actually wearing today!! In My Opinion “Love & White Diamonds” is perfectly suited till warmer sunny weather,or a warm Summer night when away on holiday!! Although I will try it also when Autumn/Winter arrive upon us!! This Perfume seems to absolutely blossom to it’s max in these kind of scenarios!! (Clammy Heat) Yet again another winner from the House Of Elizabeth Taylor!! & Elizabeth Arden really have done her proud!!

I read that this is like Bill Blass 2007, which is like Alfred Sung, which someone has stated.

I tested this today. So far, I haave had it in for a few hours. I like it but I don’t llove it. I adore the OG White Diamonds, and most of the flankers. Love & White Diamonds is a musky, citrus based fragrance, as others have said. I’m not getting very many white flowers. It’s actually a little screechy to me, even in the drydown. I think it could be something I would like if the citrus was a little smoother and the florals a little more prominent, but that’s just a personal preference. It is a well-done perfume, with quality composition, it’s just not my style. Definitely worth a test, though.

I really like the original White Diamonds, but it can be tricky and difficult to wear , so i was so excited when i saw this . Bought it immediately and unsniffed. Huge mistake.
When people say a fragrance can be nauseating or make them sick, or that it Can be migraine inducing, i Always thought to my self that they were being to dramatic and delicate and sensitive . Well long story short: today i learned that a fragrance CAN make your stomach turn and give you an instant migraine ! From this !
It might be great for others, but on my the neroli and petitgrain overdose in its beginning almost killed me. Tried to be patient , but had to scrub it off after 10 minutes. After a scrub, i Can still smell and almost taste it ! So at least a positive thing that it project Well and has great lasting power . Bottle is so pretty . But the scent it self: no way, not for me. Hope it can make others happy 🙂

This is really lovely and feminine. Like one reviewer below has also mentioned it starts off with a blast of what smells like Honeysuckle, well that made it for me, I adore Honeysuckle, it then turns quite zesty, like orange peel with floral undertones. It is quite lovely but the downside is it doesn’t last long which is disappointing. I’d probably buy this again though, it’s clean and fresh and uplifting.
pamparam – :
God, the opening of Love & White Diamonds is pungent! An overdose of petitgrain, neroli and mandarin rind with a very tart astringent quality that is almost insufferable. If you give it time to settle, however, you are left with a very pretty jasmine & orange blossom combo… I just don’t know if it’s worth enduring that opening for.
hxi702Unlogrere – :
I had to change my “like,” into a “love.”
My word this is amazing stuff.
I was so glad, when I was finally able to buy this in my country, because I have an Elizabeth Taylor-parfume collection.
This really does make me think of love and summer…summerlove <3
I recive a lot of compliments when I´m wearing this parfume. The longevity is about 8 hours and the sillage moderate on my skin, and of course it last longer on my close

*UPDATE* 5/1/18
I was able to get the holiday gift set from an online retailer for $39. Its still new so that was the best deal I was going to find in order to have all the ET perfumes. Now that I own and have worn this a few times I figure I should update my review as I have a better understanding of what was a confusing scent when I first tested it in the store.
The initial blast is pretty stringent. Its all greens and bitter citrus. I guess its the petitgrain and neroli slapping you in the face! Once that dies down in about 3 minutes you get the floral and the sweetness of the gardenia on the cedar/sandalwood base. I really like it! I think its very refreshing. I thought this would be a good summer scent, but I don’t think its going to hold up to the heat and humidity of Florida. Ill use the lotion and spray a bit on my clothing if I want to wear it in the summer heat. I don’t think this will bloom as well in the cold, so it will probably be best worn in the spring. I do really enjoy the fragrance, and I think its unique and you wont smell like everyone else while wearing this. I wouldn’t recommend a blind buy. The opening to me was off putting initially, but now that I know the fragrance I really like it. The bottle is gorgeous! looks so pretty with all my other White Diamonds bottles. I’d say this is a safe bet for anyone who likes green fragrances, citrus, florals and a cedar base. On me the cedar doesn’t overtake the fragrance and adds to the depth.
*Original Post*
I did a trial spray of this on my forearm today while shopping in the mall. I didn’t know what to think at first. I felt like I was smelling a sweet flower, almost a honeysuckle all the while also getting a grapefruit tang and white pepper tickle to my nose. I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. As I shopped about the day I kept checking back, in the middle for me I was getting a clean white floral, but with a zest. Now that I am at home I’m getting more of the musk/wood with a zesty floral on top. This one defiantly morphs like all ET fragrances do, creating a personality and mood. I had my 17 year old Daughter smell it and she likes it. She didn’t think it smelled “old lady”. I think you have to give this one a chance and a few wears before you can totally make up your mind if you felt turned off at the initial spray. I defiantly like it. I think its energizing and peppy, but with some sass.

I am wearing this again today and I moved this from “like” to “love”. I am shocked that this has so many votes for dislike, but to each their own.
I feel that sadly sometimes celeb scents get bad raps, and I feel like many think Liz Taylor fragrances are “old lady”. But honestly, if this were a niche fragrance, I can’t help but think people would be going nuts for this.
I realize yes, some may genuinely do not like the fragrance, but I feel many do not give it a fair chance and are jaded because it is not only a celeb scent, but it has Ms. Taylor’s name on it.
Anyway, this is lovely. I am loving it, it really is not like anything I already have, and I have (or had..or have smelled) many, many perfumes over the decades..Bravo, to whomever created this scent.
I just had to speak my peace (piece?)…I am glad I got the 4-piece gift set, and am thinking of a backup bottle!!! 🙂
vanes1979 – :
Long story short how I came across this, this showed up at Ross as a clearanced $19.99 for a 4 piece set. Otherwise I likely never would have given this a thought, much less a purchase.
I will say, whoever is creating Ms. Taylor’s newer-released frag’s of recent years, seems to love the powdery notes. I do not care what notes and accords are listed here, I pick up a powdery smell. But it is not overpowering like some of the other more recent Taylor offerings of recent years (reformulated/redesigned Black Pearls, I am looking at you, in particular!)….But there is also a lovely light citrus and light floral. Sounds like a weird combo, powdery-citrus-floral, but it works, at least on my skin and to my nose.
I am not getting too much white floral, but a general light floral. The citrus is not dominating, but is definitely detectable. None of the notes seem to be too “loud,” at least not to my nose/on my skin. The powdery-ness is more detectable in the first half hour, then subsides, but is still there, lingering slightly in the background.
This is not heavy nor overpowering like some of/many of Liz’s fragrances from the earlier years/ the 90’s, so this is pretty crowd-safe. Probably/likely a bore to those with large fragrance collections, but I do kind of like this. I am looking forward to early Spring to wear this, as I think this will be lovely for that time of year, in particular. The bottle is lovely, so feminine looking. Some of the young ‘uns may call this “old lady,”…I call it CLASS.
vitalijx – :
I have never worn this line because, lovely as some of them are, they are too retro on me for my lifestyle. This one is no exception. The opening is fresh, grapefuity and light white flowers. So far so good. However, within 20 minutes it morphed into a very heavy tuberrose, musk drydown and stayed there. On me, one spray provided projection and longevity. Cloying rather than interesting.
If I’ m going for a somewhat retro white flowers explerience I will stick to Alfred Sung. Much classier!
mr.sofiyanskij – :
I never knew about this until I saw it in a Shoppers Drug Mart (Canada) today. Very curious, I immediately sprayed a quick two sprays on my wrist and immediately did not like it, thinking this is weird.
Putting it out of my mind. However, driving home, I got whiffs of something pleasantly orange and musky, powdery even, i realized it was the ET that I had tested half an hour ago. Still two hours later it’s going strong, after doing dishes and washing my handds. This stuff is tenacious, and on me, not much is. I’m going to test this again a few more times. If I still like it and it lasts like this, i just might pick this up.
Still looking for White Diamonds Night. Supposedly that came out last year also but I still haven’t seen it yet.
Edit – had the chance to try the WDN – my verdict is Nope! Very bitter and weak! Still planning to get L&WD though. Apparently Shopper’s will let me use their 20 percent every Thursday for over 55 discount for this (for all their fragrances!) so it’ll be a bit more affordable. I haven’t seen it in any other store yet.

This is lovely!
I think it’s most closely related to violet eyes, but with a citrus-woody musk scent.
It put me in mind of a cross between violet eyes and Chanel chance eau vive.
Very angelic
Good projection, longevity is slightly disappointing for an Elizabeth Taylor fragrance, but acceptable nonetheless
I’m sure she would approve 🙂
EPabertG – :
Stumbled across this at my local pharmacy today and gave it a little spritz. I wasn’t overly impressed at first but then after a few minutes it settled down and I couldn’t stop sniffing the back of my hand!
I couldn’t put my finger on it immediately, but it reminded me so much of something else. I think that something else is L’occitane Cherry Blossom. I would say this is smoother though.
Gofassutannuariepids – :
I’m wondering how they are releasing an elizabeth taylor fragrance with her no longer being here to put her input into it. However I would like to smell this, the bottle is very beautiful.

I acquired this newest ET fragrance through a friend from UK, it’s only 19GBP over there, I could have waited at least a year until it’s sold here (Hungary). Packaging is very nice, pinkish frosty bottle with the usual letter desing, rose gold cap, vey ladylike.
Upon first spray I can detect a strong neroli blast with some citrus. This phase is fresh but a little bit harsh to my nose somewhat sour, a tiny bit disturbing. The neroli accord settles down in about 15 minutes but stays present throughout the day in the background. Then the white flowers unveil their beauty and this phase reminds me a bit of Bluemarine Innamorata perfume. Slightly sweet, fresh mediterrenian bouquet, very feminine, well balanced, never overpowering. Although it’s not a strong perfume, stays all day long on my skin with moderate sillage. I personally don’t really smell the drydown, those notes somehow are together with the flowers in the middle. I’m really happy that this completes my ET collection, this is really a type of scent that the collection misses although, in my opinion not really a refined composition, I could have imagined something more bold, more flowery or something with a twist from the Arden house. It seems to me that the latest three scents (Lustre, Night and Love) tend to stay the “safe” side, don’t get me wrong, they are great but I miss the greatness, deepness and complexity of their predesessors.
Nevertheless Love and White Diamonds is subtle, feminine, fresh flowery choice for Elizabeth perfume lovers. You probably won’t be dissapointed, perfect for spring and summer. 🙂
kolek842009 – :
Wow, it’s surprising to see a new release ‘by’ Elizabeth Taylor… given the obvious. It does look like a lovely fragrance but putting her name to it, even though she had nothing to do with it’s creation seems like a bit of a cash grab by Elizabeth Arden. Unless Elizabeth Taylor came up with the concept for the fragrance before she died. Or a relative trying to honour her memory or something. Lol, I’m being cynical I know. Never-mind me..
lexxx1973 – :
Not a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor but the bottle attracted me…real pretty, frosty pink bottle..the scent is a bright floral, with punch, this has character and I was pleasantly surprised..I have no idea what the other White Diamonds smell like, but this one is well done…feminine, grown up..I detect the mandarin, the gardenia, a hint of neroli..I tried it real fast, so this is a first impression..but I must say I like it,.not opposed to get a bottle…once smaller sizes get available..this is floral, in a fresh bold way..
DordKeern – :
Not Really a In Depth review But Today 7-25-17 I went into MACYS and they had this On Display…I did spray it and to me this was a Sophisticated Fruity Floral for the 30+ consumer, I would say 70% Floral and 30% Fruit…This does have a Romantic Feel To It!

I have to start off by saying that I have every Elizabeth Taylor perfume including White Diamonds 15th Anniversary that came out 11 years out. Love & White Diamonds isn’t my favorite perfume of the Elizabeth Taylor brand, and I know she would be proud of this perfume. I will say this is the best floral perfume, I have ever owned, and I have way more perfume than I should. Trust me if you like floral perfumes, but don’t want something ” too heavy ” than Love & White Diamonds is for you. I love this perfume so much that I bought another bottle. I once used a whole 100ml of perfume before in just a month, because I sprayed it everywhere, and Love & White Diamonds to me personally is that kind of perfume. It’s the perfect floral bouquet, beach gardenia, not too over powering perfect for spring, and summer. The sprayer on this perfume is like a mist. I highly recommend this perfume. I have to add my favorite three perfumes by her are, Forever Elizabeth, Violet Eyes, and White Diamonds Night, number four is Love & White Diamonds. I will update my review on longevity when I have wore this perfume enough. The silage is great around arms length.
