Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds and Rubies Eau De Toilette, 100 ml

Product Information

Many flowers form the heart, with a mixture of jasmine and lily of the valley on the head. It gets warmer, and the rose now comes out as soapy as a rosy bar of soap. It is a satin rose that mixes with heliotrope. I just got a hint of sweet orchid and ylang-ylang. Instead, I'm not sure what spices are in it. They are a little fuzzy on me. Hence, the intermediate phase has some mild, almost muted spices. Maybe it contains sweet nutmeg or cinnamon, as I get nothing like sweaty cumin, mentholated cardamom, or dark cloves. Boozy peaches are still sneaking around. The first spray is quite harsh and a bit sharp, then it smells --what I can only describe as-- "boozy". The peach combined with the spice notes give it a smell that reminds me very much of Glühwein, but this only lasts for a little while on me. I bought this a while ago and never gave it a proper review, well, today I wore it for the first time and I can say I like it. I don't love it, but perhaps it will grow on me? Upon the first encounter with Diamonds and Rubies by Elizabeth Taylor, you are greeted by a crisp, fruity note of peach, punctuated with the classic, deep aroma of red rose. The presence of lilac adds a subtle, light floral undertone, effectively ushering the nose into this wonderfully crafted scent journey. It is very likely that the Stuart Coronation Ring is even older and originally belonged to Charles I with the etching of the cross added by James II himself or his wife, Mary of Modena. After the Glorious Revolution occurred a few years after James II began his reign, the ring was among the items that James II took with him into exile in 1688. From there it passed to his widow who then left the ring to her grandson who in turn bequeather it to the Prince of Wales in 1807.

The fate of the Nga Mauk Ruby has been a mystery ever since, inspiring heavily researched books, documentaries, trips through archives, and countless articles. There are many prospects within the British Crown Jewels that could be the Nga Mauk Ruby, but without more access and confirmation, we may never know. The opening is floral, fruity with beautiful plump, juicy peach and subtle lilac. The rose that joins it does not come from the greenhouse. It is a robust, wonderfully fragrant, red garden rose. Diamonds and Sapphiresis a fragrance that perfectly adapts to its wearer, becoming that unique, signature scent. Suitable for any time of year it can be worn as an elegant fragrance throughout a day or as a more refined, special occasion evening scent. Dame Elizabeth Taylor has achieved just as much off-screen that on. An enthusiastic philanthropist and activist, she spent nearly twenty years working closely with the American Foundation for AIDS Researchraising funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS. She later established the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundationfocusing on direct patient care, providing critically-needed support services and prevention education.

For a nation rich in rubies, there are unfortunately also going to be darker stories concerning the gemstone. Upon King Thibaw’s defeat and abdication to the British, he and his family were given 24 hours to prepare for exile in India. Colonel Edward Sladen was the chief officer of the invasion, was familiar to the king, he spoke Burmese, and he was entrusted with gaining the surrender and overseeing the king and his family being moved to India.

Although it lasts nearly 4 to 5 hours, the fragrance is more of a skin-scent, due to its weak projection. Which is great if you are a lover of softer and less potent scents. The reflection of late autumn sunlight on yet unfallen leaves, mixed shades of gold, like flames dancing in a burning fireplace. It is the comfort of coming home to find a loved one waiting with a warm blanket to wrap around you, keeping you safe, secure, loved. If there's one celebrity whose whole essence I'd love to bottle, it's the wonderfully singular Elzabeth Taylor Diamonds and Rubies. I wish more celebrities of her ilk would try their hands at this genre. Diamonds & Rubies Eau de Toiletteby Elizabeth Taylor is a powerful oriental scent, delivering warm, powdery floral aroma. Designed by the renowned Russian perfumer Sophia Grojsman, the fragrance was launched in 1993. Created in 1831 for the coronation of William IV, the Queen Consort’s Ring was made for Queen Adelaide, likely with her specific input. For the coronation, William IV had departed from the tradition of a ruby ring, choosing instead to feature a blue sapphire as the main stone with a cross made of rubies laid over the top. The king was only allowed to take his most valued possessions, which included the Nga Mauk ruby – an uncut, polished ruby of substantial size well over 80 carats and excellent quality. From here the accounts get murky with the king and queen claiming Sladen took the ruby for safekeeping to return it after their travels, and Sladen claimed he was never in possession of the ruby.Following the King’s Coronation ceremony, the Queen Consort’s coronation is a very simple and short ceremony, usually taking place in a more private setting. Upon William IV’s passing, he left his coronation ring to Queen Adelaide, and although the rings were her personal property, she felt it would only be proper to leave them to the new Queen. Since Adelaide, all Queens Consort have worn her ring for their ceremonies.

The Welshman went on to add, “It’s my favorite stone, red for Wales.” It's not my favourite ET scent. I only have three: Diamonds & Emeralds and Diamonds & Sapphires being the other two, and Diamonds & Emeralds is my favourite. It's a wonderful tuberose/white floral bouquet, similar to Madonnas Truth or Dare, but better.

The gemstone currently sits at the front of the Imperial State Crown and has recently been confirmed to be a fantastic specimen of red spinel through technological advancements in mineral studies. One of the world’s largest pieces of uncut red spinel weighing an estimated 170 carats, the gemstone is actually considered to be even more rare than a ruby of this same quality. Stuart Coronation Ring I don't smell any spices at the beginning, at most a small pinch of allspice. I can't make out jasmine and orchid, because suddenly it's raining powder, which combines wonderfully with amber and vanilla. It becomes warm and really cuddly and woody joins in. D&R has a distinctive sweetness, but it never gets pompous or even unpleasantly loud. Silage is: I am having a good time....come closer and be merry too!" -- Longevity is: "Spicy and loud for about 3+ hours, then it's a closer to the skin amber/almond wood cozy sweater." It's a winter-wonderland scent in a bottle, the price-quality ratio is so good it warrants a try. As for the profile on this wondrous creature, it is pure class; french twisted sophistication! Rich rose and resinous peach sweeten dark spices. Cloves, benzoin, almond and vanilla, are pounded and stripped of their oily centers, and combined with the smooth sweetness of sandalwood. Combined with amber, become this slow smoldering incense trail that is divine and intoxicating. This is one of those fragrances that plays hide and seek with you. You'll sniff your arm and think that it's gone. Then all of a sudden a gorgeous whiff of fragrance will surround you, again an again.
