    UBER SWEET BABY POWDER. Nothing exotic here. Wanted to love this...sounds like it should be a fresh tropical floral with spice and sandalwood base. I don't get any of that...just sickeningly...

    I took a gamble on this based on positive reviews, and even made sure I purchased the original 1996 Parfums International version in the frosted (not clear) bottle. The gamble paid off! This is a...

    Black Pearls is my guilty pleasure. Straight up. I'm usually a fan of far more expensive perfumes and very rarely give "cheapys" a chance, let alone a spot in my collection! That said, Black Pearls...

    This is perfume with a capital P!!! I find it difficult to describe except to say that this is the bomb on me. A warm powdery oriental on a base of gardenia and musk which dries down to a musky,...

    Several years ago I wore this all the time but when my husband and I separated a couple years ago I could only bring some of my perfumes so, since this bottle was almost empty, I left it. I bought...

    Sorry to bring this one down - I am a fan of most Elizabeth Taylor fragrances but this one is a real let down. Smells overly sickeningly sweet in the bottle like bitter almonds with canned fruit...

    Wow, bought this blind on the rec of a MUAer whose opinion I trust and she was not wrong - simply lovely. I would class it as a winter/evening perfume and you do not need much of it. The is a...

    Made the mistake of purchasing a bottle, unaware that its previous frosted-glass version was far superior to the reformulation. <br> Which is a shame, as I can tell that this scent was fabulous...

    The top notes reminds me very much of Avon's discontinued Rare Rubies with the warm spices and sandalwood and the dry down reminds me of Avon's discontinued Rare Emeralds with the floral base....

    This is fun to have if you can find a sufficiently old bottle. Don't waste your time & money on the new version, which is in larger, clear glass bottles. Instead, look for a small frosted bottled...

    I got this for Christmas! Smells so powdery and soft. Very feminine and easy to wear.

    Update, September 2022: /So after 11 years I’ve gotten rid of my clear reformulated bottle & purchased a vintage frosted one. That has made all the difference! Gone are the cheap musky & cloying...

    I'm sorry, but whenever I sample this at the perfume counter I am horrified at the scent. It is like the thickest, "old ladyish" perfume I can think of. Super strong for those who have lost their...

    I only have the perfume strength, but I like Black Pearls the best of all Elizabeth Taylor's perfumes (it's the only one I will wear). The dry down is simply divine. To compare, the perfume is very...

    smells like rose to me! powdery rose w boozy vanilla in the background. Not as deep as Tocade or Rose Ispahan, I have RI and so don't need this.

    I love the way this smells! The beginning notes are like an average oriental but the the dry down is soooo lovely. It's warm, sensual and musky (my favorite part). It sort of reminds me of...

    My significant other described this one as complex and that word rarely comes out of his mouth when asked to describe a scent. Unique powdery but slightly spicy floral with good lasting power. I...
