White Diamonds Legacy
by Elizabeth Taylor
White Diamonds Legacy offers a bright, creamy, and subtly floral fragrance that strays from the original White Diamonds' bold aldehyde profile. It features top notes of bergamot, honeysuckle, and pink pepper, followed by a smooth, velvety white floral heart of gardenia, jasmine, and orange blossom. The base settles into a light, musky-sandalwood amber warmth. The scent is clean, delicate, and notably less dramatic than the classic version—more suitable for daytime and transitional seasons like spring and summer. It has a moderate sillage and moderate longevity, which many users find insufficient for lasting coverage, yet it is praised for its gentle, skin-friendly character and modern, wearable quality. The fragrance feels feminine and refined, evoking comparisons to Chanel's Gabrielle or Estée Lauder's tuberose gardenia due to its soft, seductive floral-creaminess. While it lacks the intensity and projection of other Elizabeth Taylor classics, it is appreciated as a light, elegant option for those seeking a less overpowering floral.
