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

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, and no single occasion dominates: daily wear, leisure, business and evening are all in the mix. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.

It opens green and fresh with lily of the valley and freesia. In the heart, rose, jasmine and ylang-ylang bring the floral side forward, while fruity and sweet touches stay in the background. The base of sandalwood, amber and musk closes it on a powdery, woody warmth. Estēe Lauder Beautiful and Yves Rocher Vie privée (1989) have a close profile.
