Diamonds in Yellow
At least a year ago I was lucky enough to buy an older bottle of White Diamonds from a private source. I can't find any batch code, but the thick tube tells me that my bottle could still be from the nineties. Nowadays, the tubes in the bottles are all very thin.
The colour of the Eau de Toilettes is a deep honey orange. As dark as on Irini´s Photos or as on Extrait. So it should have "matured" a few years ago.

I liked White Diamonds from the first spray. He's got everything a woman needs. No harmless sugar water is that!
It starts with an appropriate dose of aldehydes, but they do not have a hairspray effect. Blumig we continue immediately with the lily, which doesn't get too asig here and combines beautifully with a round of unsweet jasmine. The aldehydes seem to tame the power flower duo a bit. Very pleasant the whole thing. Intensively perceptible and yet not too wummsig (for me anyway). Tuberose is also well perceptible and fits well here. The other flowers don't show up to me like this or are spun in discreetly.
The base is very substantial. But I only take oakmoss very delicately here but instead I could swear that there is a good portion of civet in here, I really like that! But in the pyramid there is nothing about Zibet.
The Sillage is not from bad parents, at least my cats blink when I spray it on me at a distance of two meters. The durability is also very good.
I think I'll have to get a spare bottle of this. A great fragrance is this.

I liked White Diamonds from the beginning. A fragrance to my taste. A rich, classic fragrance for real women who are in the middle of life and know what they want. For women who don't care about the opinions of others and live their lives.

Ice cold bouquet of flowers
I first owned White Diamonds at the age of 20 and my mother gave it to me for my birthday. She already knew then how much I liked perfume. ;-)
I really liked it then and the bottle knocked me out. Especially the lid with the stones or the diamond replica.

The first seconds after the spraying shot immediately flowery round, possibly mixed with a slight bitterness. The warmth of the skin absorbs this fragrance immediately and transforms it into a total work of art within a few minutes. After about 5 minutes I don't smell anything of the initial bitter anymore, it's more as if this note was necessary to make the flowers look cold. I don't know exactly, but it could be bitter orange.

Cool and fragrant we continue into the 2nd section after about 20 minutes. It doesn't take long for him to develop into a heart. There is a bouquet of all the flowers mentioned in the air and slowly I notice that the rose is approaching.

The shelf life is so good that it lasts loosely 8-10 hours.

I wonder how they managed to mix the coolness with the flowers.
Normally, the cold makes odours freeze.
Chemically, however, things are quite different here.

This perfume is so beautifully different, especially and despite the abundance of the many flowers so beautifully unsweet, full-bodied and characteristic. I'd recognize it among millions of other perfumes.

Until recently, I didn't know at all that there was an eau de parfum in the similar bottle.
I had bought it cheaply on the Internet and was very curious about the difference.

The concentration in the EDP is definitely warmer. Here the typical cool effect is missing, but there is a concentrated load of flowers inside and overall it looks a bit stronger. The strength is not related to the shelf life, because they both hold loosely a whole day, - it is more the intensity of the bouquet and possibly a slight honey note, which could be present in the EDP.

The end of the EDT is still cool, but mossier and earthier, the EDP more woody and balsamic.

I love both of them and hope that they will remain with us for a long time to come.

Diamonds at Easter
Yeah, I know, that scent has been extensively commented on. But I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor :-) The name "White Diamonds" is misleading in that it is not a radiantly cool scent that reminds of precious diamonds. I perceive it as "golden". It reminds me of a fat green meadow with buttercups and fits somehow well into the Easter season, probably because of the narcissus. For me it has a great resemblance to Chloe Narcisse, but without its sweetness.

The fragrance begins violently with aldehydes, lily and rose give it the elegant, ladylike framework, narcissus and tuberose contribute the narcotic, patchouli and sandalwood ensure that it smells unsweet and adult.

Please dose very sparingly, if overdosed it becomes annoying!

A long-lasting, high-quality, room-filling fragrance with which one has a lot of pleasure. It goes best with more mature ladies who are not too introverted. For more delicate minds it is probably a bit too heavy
The bottle is simple yet elegant. The price is unbeatable. Many a high-priced fragrance pales with envy! However, it is not recommended for friends of sugar water.

Performance of a diva
Drum roll, the diva arrives. She stands glistening brightly in the spotlight on the stairs, aldehydes escort her to the stage. The tuberose ensnares her on the way, the garden carnation vies for attention, the rose and jasmine extras applaud. Fine spicy soap peeps around the corner, drowned out by patchouli and oakmoss. The curtain falls, the stage is in darkness. White Diamonds whispers in the theater aisles for days, even without the diva.

Now it's a short comment instead of a statement. I must love White Diamonds, lots in it that I like. I've tried it several times with a sniff, to no avail, it never became love, but no hate either, I call it respect.

A fragrance that should be well dosed, wearable for seasoned women, I rather exclude guys here, but if you want, try it... By the way, the bottle is high-quality and tasteful, worthy of a diva. I prefer Passion, the purple bottle also went much better with Liz's violet-colored eyes.

Diamond Fever
When I spray myself with White Diamonds, Knowing immediately comes to mind. But the two fragrances have nothing in common at all, only similarities in the base. The top note and heart note are completely different. They don't even come from the same "stable", so there can be no family resemblance. Both are straight, American and maybe I see or smell a relationship there.

WD starts with sparkling, fresh Neroli that tickles in the nose, but never stings or is unpleasant. Aldehydes give a short rendezvous and leave the field quite quickly to the beguiling lily, which never gets pompous or nasty. Despite jasmine, the fragrance does not drift in the direction of sweetness, as the carnation provides a subtle spice and the rose does not push itself into the foreground. The composition is extremely well-balanced and beautifully balanced. The amber briefly provides warmth until moss and patchouli steer the fragrance in a tart direction. Slightly tart yes, but never masculine.

WD is a classic and, in a positive sense, ladylike fragrance, which never "old-fashioned" and is a suitable companion for every occasion, as it can also score points with endurance and silage.

Especially now in spring I like to wear WD very much, even with unladylike clothes, because jeans and T-shirt he can easily handle

Aldehydic white floral, ‘80s style. Big, chilly, with a real Queen Bitch vibe to me. Wear it for a confidence boost.
