Descripción

It’s a spicy bomb with vanilla and florals; I absolutely love it. Smells like an elegant, well-groomed lady. A rich, varied, and wonderful scent.
It’s a bomb of spices, vanilla, and flowers. I love it so much; it’s a gourmand full of varied aromas. Every time I smell it, I see an elegant, well-made-up lady. Wonderful perfume.
Of all the Diamonds line, this is my favorite. It’s exquisitely sweet and floral, with a perfect balance between flowers, fruits, and spices. Delicious, like the finest honey. It smells like a super feminine and delicate woman, but with a lot of presence.
It’s the favorite of the three in the line. On my skin, it comes out intense, synthetic, and sweet, but it fades quickly, leaving powdery red roses. I don’t detect spices; it’s linear but pleasant and very long-lasting, over 8 hours. It’s not the most natural rose, but it’s a good perfume for its accessible price. It feels mature, for people over 25, very put-together.
It’s a mature and spectacular fragrance. It starts with spicy peaches and creamy almond, very gourmand. Then come velvety red roses with a powdery touch. The base is warm vanilla and sandalwood. It’s a cross between Casmir, Tresor, and Teint de Neige. Mysterious, intense, and feminine. Very long-lasting, enjoyable in small amounts. The bottle doesn’t convince me due to the plastic atomizer. I imagine it on a woman recalling her youth dreams, elegant and nostalgic.
This fragrance is in all its glory. It opens with spicy peaches and creamy almond, almost gourmand. Then come velvety red roses with a bitter talc-like touch from heliotrope and ylang-ylang. The base is warm vanilla and sandalwood. It’s mysterious, intense, classic, and opulent—perfect for autumn and winter nights. Very long-lasting with great projection, but you need to use a tiny amount. The bottle doesn’t do it for me: fake gold cap and plastic sprayer. A fragrance that wanted to be more. I imagine it on a middle-aged woman with dashed dreams now trying to reclaim her hope. I don’t want that nostalgia; I’m too gossipy, haha.
Elizabeth Taylor fragrances are unfortunately hit-or-miss, but Diamonds and Rubies is probably the best. It’s affordable and potent, despite its look and plastic vaporizer. It smells of sharp rose, creamy almonds, and spices. It’s a mix between Tresor and Allure Sensuelle, intense and long-lasting, nothing delicate. It’s a flawless oriental that’s worth more than many current niche proposals.
This happens to me with Sophia Grojsman and her Vanderbilt; they smell way too artificial. This is no exception. The blend doesn’t work; I don’t perceive any floral or individual notes. It’s a perfume without a beginning or an end. Sorry, there are people who will like it, but not for me.
With Sophia Grojsman, I find her perfumes too artificial. This is no exception; the blend doesn’t work for me, I don’t sense any flowers. It’s a fragrance without direction. Others might like it, but not me.
In English, it’s compared to Paloma Picasso’s Tentations, but to me, it’s unforgettable. I bought it for €12, and while they share notes, they are very different. It lacks the crystal shine of the other; it’s sweeter, rosier, with an amber touch. It’s not bad, it has classicism, ideal for something hot and floral. The unforgivable part is the plastic sprayer.
It smells amazing on my mother; I can’t help but want to be near her—it smells like roses on her. On me, however, it gives me a headache, I think it’s just our different chemistry.
I absolutely love this fragrance; it caught me off guard. It’s classic, powdery, sweet, and floral, with an energetic twist that makes it quite intense. For such a low price, the longevity is incredible, though unfortunately the atomizer is plastic despite the beautiful bottle.
I’m completely in love with this fragrance and I’m surprised by it. It feels classic, melancholic, potent, bold, energetic, powdery, sweet, and floral. It stands out for its affordable price and unexpectedly great longevity. The bottle is pretty, but it’s a shame it’s made of plastic.
Diamonds and Rubies is adult and vintage, nothing like trendy perfumes. It opens with ripe red rose and jasmine. The dry down is creamy and gourmand, with notes of cinnamon and pastry-like vanilla plus sandalwood. On my skin, it’s tender, nostalgic, like grandma’s powder, maternal rather than opulent. It lasts 6-8 hours with moderate sillage.
Diamonds and Rubies is an adult fragrance with a vintage style that doesn’t resemble fashion perfumes. It opens with a very ripe red rose, slightly unnatural, balanced with a touch of white flowers (the one I perceive most is jasmine). Its middle and lasting phase is the powdery, sweet rose, softened by the almond wood. It has a creamy, even gourmand dry down that I think is cinnamon, baking vanilla (though not declared), and sandalwood. Overall, it’s a tender perfume, not because of the notes but because of the nostalgia it provokes. Like grandma’s powder and childhood. On my skin, it’s not opulent or sophisticated, rather maternal. Longevity of 6-8 hours and moderate sillage.
Diamonds and Rubies, how many times did I circle this fragrance based on thousands of polarized reviews about vintage, current versions, and note quality. So much was said that I spent years deciding. The world of modern perfumery is cruel to this type of fragrance, which luckily are still in production, but today they have almost no place in the physical market, except online. Acquiring them is a challenge, especially if they aren’t cheap in your country, if they don’t have testers, or if they are far from new stock. It’s a shame, because they offer something different from everything offered today; they should be considered more. Elizabeth Taylor created fragrances with opulence and an abundance of notes that would be impossible to replicate today. The luxury of their bottles and scents at accessible prices. You could have design and quality without giving your life away to high-end designers. Unfortunately, like all of them, they suffered reformulations and price cuts. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still good; perhaps they don’t have the deep nuances of the original, but they hold up quite well. That’s why, before criticizing for being synthetic or alcoholic, reflect: many people lose good perfumes based on comments without evaluating if the reformulation is done well. I throw everything out and that’s it. I own Paloma Picasso’s Tentation, Guerlain’s Nahema, and Lancôme’s Trésor; none have anything to envy Diamonds and Rubies. Perhaps some are more punchy or complex, but in general, Taylor’s holds its own against these titans. Let’s describe it: it opens moderately with a relevant lilac, then becomes almond-like, showing its peachy phase with rose tints. As it settles, the rose becomes more noticeable, with an ambered and juicy character (due to the peach). Light spices surround the composition, but they aren’t as noticeable as in Paloma Tentation, where the pepper gives more heat. Tentation is more resinous, while Rubies is more ambered. Taylor’s rose becomes creamier, cosmetic, and powdery, evoking creams or rice powder with a 40s/50s rose perfume. It projects moderately to lightly and has extraordinary fixation of over 8 hours. The sillage is calm. Compared to Trésor by Lancôme, this has more peach and tends toward a semi-bitterness. Diamonds and Rubies is always sweet and has more rose. Compared to Guerlain’s Nahema, this generates a more present rose; the hyacinth touches and green notes distance it from the resemblance, but not too much. In general, Paloma, Trésor, Nahema, and Rubies share things in common. The comparison with Chloe Narcisse is further away, as this has other floral notes at play. If you like powdery roses with peach touches, something retro, that enveloping but not strident sensation, say yes to this reformulation of the classic Diamonds and Rubies.
I suppose I had too many expectations. The opening of old hair lacquer gives way to a sweetness that doesn’t appeal to me at all. I don’t have much more to say. Moderate longevity and sillage.
Red, passionate. It’s the scent of old Hollywood. Elegant, soft, and delicate. Spicy, warm, and romantic, feeling velvety. On my skin, the peach, flowers, vanilla, and almond stand out; in the dry down, it settles powdery. Suitable for autumn and winter. Despite being affordable, it maintains correct longevity. It reminds me of Trésor by Lancôme. A beauty.
I bought it blindly at an outlet and it was the best decision. It’s affordable but smells high-end, bold, and soft, with great sillage. You can detect peach at the start and soft flowers as it dries down. Perfect for daytime; I’m obsessed and would 100% buy it again.
I just bought it blindly at an outlet, guided by the notes, and… I could not have made a better purchase! It’s affordable but not low quality; it smells like fine perfume, powdery and soft, with good sillage. You can detect the peach at the opening; as it dries, the powdery and floral notes emerge, all subtle and very usable for daily wear. I’m fascinated, 100% I would buy it again.
So lovely with the 3b. It’s a powdery spicy rose without being overwhelming, beautiful, beautiful.
I bought it blindly based on the notes, reviews, and price… another disappointment! My skin pH is very rebellious; it doesn’t blend well with most commercial perfumes, whether high-end or cheap. I’m looking for a perfume that makes me feel good, identified, and, above all, that lasts! Today’s market sells watered-down and ghost scents at outrageous prices. With Diamonds and Rubies, it was expected. It’s nostalgic, evoking tenderness. It smells like roses, but dry and old. Not vintage, but antique—those you want but can’t have. On my skin, it has low longevity and no sillage. What a pity. LulaFlower said it smelled like old hair lacquer, and she was right.
What a pleasant surprise! It’s a soft floral scent, like a powdery rose that reminds me of my beloved Paris by YSL before the reformulation, perhaps due to the same perfumer. Despite being affordable, it has good projection and longevity.
I find it a warm scent, like a warm hug. It features a lovely cinnamon note in the heart before turning powdery. Recommended for those who enjoy feminine, floral, and classic aromas.
My mother used to wear it; thanks, it always brings me back very good memories.
Absolutely loved it! It’s a fuzzy, boozy peach with a super elegant vibe. It has a vintage floral and spicy aura. So rich! Confirmed: it shines in cold autumn weather. The spicy rose comes out beautifully, while the peach rounds everything off, letting the flowers stand out without stealing the show. The heliotrope pops a bit more, giving it a fuzzy, suede-like texture. A true gem! But note: it’s for cold climates. In heat, it fades, turns sour, and the notes get messy with a strange bitterness. I’ve worn it for 20 hours, and it’s still soft and exquisite on dry down, very comforting. The price doesn’t even matter. Here in Chile, it’s 3 degrees with mist and freezing wind, and it confirms: in this weather, it SHINES!
Of the White Diamonds flankers, Diamonds and Rubies, Diamonds is the one I love the most. It’s a perfectly crafted accord by the great perfumer Sophia Grojsman. It’s talcum-powdery, spiced, and the floral notes are so well-blended that none steal the show, though the rose stands out a bit more. Like all Elizabeth Taylor fragrances, she wanted to tell a story. Here, I perceive Liz memorizing her nostalgic moments in the dressing rooms of Hollywood’s Golden Age. This fragrance is nostalgic for the movie star, a diva remembering her best years with affection and a smile. You can smell makeup, powder, lacquer, nail polish, perfumed talcs, and a floral aldehyde base like those of the past. She wanted to frame all that in Diamonds and Rubies. I imagine her looking in the mirror with the bulbs glowing, remembering something that makes her smile with a certain coquettishness. Rubies evoke seduction and are linked to the heart chakra. Love, love, love is what she framed. Her best moments as the Diva, the recognized star, the one signing autographs and receiving 50 flashes per second while walking the Broadway red carpet. That’s all I can perceive. A poem. I love you, Liz. Thanks for this fragrance you created with Sophia Grojsman.
To me, it smells like classic Dove soap. Far from feeling clean, I picture myself in the supermarket aisle at the soap stand. A huge disappointment. It feels synthetic and outdated. Zero elegance.
To me, it smells like classic Dove soap. But far from making me feel freshly showered, I imagine walking down the supermarket aisle at the soap stand. A huge disappointment. It feels very synthetic and outdated. Zero elegance.
Nice perfume.
Very, very similar to Lancôme’s Tresor and at a better price.
Smells like roses with talc, a bit ‘matronly’ for my taste, so I wouldn’t wear it out; maybe it’s a fragrance I’d want to wear to sleep. It doesn’t smell bad, but it’s not my style since I prefer sweeter perfumes.
A note-heavy perfume; I can’t distinguish the notes, which frustrates me. I compare it to ‘Rouge’ by Dita Von Teese because it evokes a 1930s/40s vanity, fitting the early days of Hollywood’s Golden Age. While ‘Rouge’ focuses on the bouquet, ‘Rubies’ leans more into nutty and peachy fruit surrounded by an animalic accord. Pros: price, sillage, longevity, and projection. 4/10.
This perfume reminds me of my grandmother; she loved these kinds of scents.
At first I thought it was generic or too strong, but I decided to give it another chance and now I love it. It’s delicate yet present, with something hypnotic; every time I smell it, I feel that rose note I adore. Literally, I can’t stop smelling it. The top notes give an air of delicacy while the base smells like a concentrated honey syrup. I’m afraid they’ve reformulated it; mine is very old.
A perfume where peach clashes with spices; at first it sounds loud and ‘matronly’, but then it reveals a woman with character and sensuality. Several men have complimented it. I’d buy it again to wear solo or layer it with something cherry, sweet, or liquorish. It’s not sweet, but its longevity and quality compete with high-end fragrances.
