Sparkling White Diamonds Body Mist 236ml
A body mist is a different proposition from a perfume, and Elizabeth Taylor Sparkling White Diamonds Body Mist 236ml should be bought as one: light, generous and meant to be used by the handful. The scent is a white floral, softened for the format. Lily leads, cool and clean with a faint greenness, gardenia adds a creamy, almost waxy richness, and neroli cuts across both with a bitter orange flower freshness that keeps the opening from being heavy.
The middle is where it gets its warmth. Jasmine thickens the flowers with a honeyed sweetness, rose rounds them out, and daffodil adds a sharper, slightly green bitterness behind the sweetness, which is the detail that stops the whole thing smelling like hand soap. Musk and amber close it, soft and faintly resinous, sitting close to the skin, and a base of only two materials suits a format meant to be reapplied rather than to develop. Because this is a mist rather than a spray concentrate, the scent is deliberately quieter and shorter: an hour or two on the skin and rather longer on clothes. Spray it over the shoulders and arms after a shower, use it between showers in hot weather, or layer it under the eau de toilette when you want more of the same. A 236ml bottle is plenty for either habit.
The fragrance line started in 1987 and is generally credited with beginning the modern celebrity perfume business. It runs separately from the actress's estate and under licence: first with Elizabeth Arden, then Parfums International, and latterly with Revlon, which the official Elizabeth Taylor site names as its partner. From 2011 Taylor required that a fifth of all sales go in perpetuity to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
