What does Diamonds and Emeralds (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

The top opens with gardenia, water lily and white rose, softened by green and fruity tones. Jasmine, carnation and lily of the valley lead the heart, with a spicy edge. The base of patchouli, amber and vanilla sweetens it and dries down woody, oriental, powdery and creamy.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and spring; evening and night-out wear lead slightly, though daily and business use also get votes. It reads feminine and classic. Laura Biagiotti Roma and Elizabeth Taylor Black Pearls have a close profile.
