About this deal

The melon is NOT the aquatic cucumber/calone style, but rather like a fragrant cantaloupe, the peach is not cloying (I often feel that peach gets a little "pond-watery") and both of these mixes beautifully with the tart rhubarb. Read about this perfume in other languages: Deutsch, Español, Français, Čeština, Italiano, Русский, Polski, Português, Ελληνικά, 汉语, Nederlands, Srpski, Română, العربية, Українська, Монгол, עברית. But although this one doesn't come close and there is no nose credited, it's still such a beautiful scent. The main dominant note is Lilly-of-the-valley, and it is mellowed out with the melon, rhubarb, and spices; and all the the other notes work so well together. she said the jlo one and it hit me like light glow by JLO just more Rich and Lux with an old vibe to it by old i mean good old.

For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates.The rose, jasmine, and ylang ylang gather these 2 components together and deliver a juicy, floral goodness to this without being too fruity or floral. There's a sharpness to it which makes it almost aquatic, which I find perfect for the warmer months. This is not the kind of melon you get in something of a watermelon note, an it's like a candy with melon scent. On the initial spray my first thought was 'this is like sitting in the garden during late spring/ early summer'.

I honestly really didn't appreciate it, so it just sat ignored until this morning when I grabbed the bottle and thought this will do. Sure, the first spray can be overwhelming, and it's capable of bothering my throat in a way only things I'm allergic do, but once it settles and those hidden floral notes come out, its a whole different experience. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, galbanum and vetiver stand out from the rich symphony of different accords here creating such a warm, animalistic vibe -reminiscent of Serge Lutens' "A La Nuit"- just less jasminey, indeed.There’s a weird cold fireplace vibe here that I also get from Passion, but which turns to sweet smoky incense in Passion and never truly changes from cold ashes in Sapphires. Diamonds and Sapphires is just doing its breezy and fresh floral-musk-calone-fougère thing without a headache factor. I can’t talk about longevity much because I just got it this morning and have not worn it for a full day. This is simply a phenomenal dewy green, slightly tart, fruity floral that smells fresh and sophisticated.

INGREDIENTS: ALCOHOL DENAT, WATER/AQUA/EAU, PARFUM/FRAGRENCE, PROPYLENE, GLYCOL, BHT, BENZYL SALICYLATE, BUTYLPHENYL METHYLPROPIONAL, CITRONELLOL, EUGENOL, GERANIOL, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, HYDROXYISOHEXYL, 3-CYCLOHEXENE, CARBOXALDEHYDE, LINALOOL, BENZOPHENONE-2, BLUE 1 (CI42090), RED 4 (CI14700) YELLOW 5 (CI19140). I really don't need two Elizabeth Taylor's in my collection but I'm tempted after smelling both today. I bought an inexpensive bottle of the EDP online and I am very pleased and impressed by Diamonds and Sapphires. After a few months: it turns out to be too much l'eau d'issey for me, I can't wear it and I will give it away. But when the melon settles down it evolves to a creamy-floral and peachy scent with a little powder over it.Upon first spray, I must say, the melon and the peach really through me off; however, I must say, this is an absolutely divine fragrance. This fresh floral scent combines lily of the valley wrapped in a bouquet of freesia, a floral heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang and spices and a finishing layer of seductive amber, sandalwood and musk. There are notes that reminds me of wet, freshly cut grass in here, and delicate white flowers (lily and lily of the valley) that makes it smell both fresh and elegant in an almost melancholic way.

It hits many of the notes to be a modern chypre, but there's way too much going on in here to truly restrict it to just one label.

If you like fruity fragrances then give this a try,good sillage and longevity, better than a lot of more expensive perfumes on the market. It has an early 90's vibe, it does remind me slightly of EA Sunflowers in its melon/citrus/peach/floral top and middle. I am trying to identify which note it is that is throwing things off for me, but can't put my finger on it.
