This may have been one of the first fragrances created to suggest that jewels have a scent. Except that the various laundry detergents carrying "diamond" and "ruby" fragrances today are far more sophisticated. If diamonds smelled like this, nobody would want them.

This perfume has the odour of an old wig that's been in heavy use, perfumed, powdered and seldom washed.

This is one of the most vile fragrances ever created. Harsh, shrill and cheap-smelling. It's for someone pretending to have money. I would rather wear Etat Libre's Secretions Magnifique and gag through the blood and bilge notes because in the drydown, it would be at least (barely) tolerable. White Diamonds isn't tolerable at any point.

To me, this is the smell of elegance, wealth, and confidence. It's a monied smell.

WOW! A true classic! White Diamonds is a white floral chypre with a powdery woody base...complex and slightly leathery. It reminds me of Chanel No. 22, but smells a lot more interesting to me. They don't smell the same mind you, but they both fall under the woody white floral category.

Each and every floral note reveals itself at the heart--it's amazing how the development reveals itself this way. And you can't help but love the trail of orris oakmoss and sandalwood on the drydown.

The EdT is quite strong in the beginning, and despite it being an EdT it does have the heft and longevity of an EdP. Very well done, you'd expect this creation from a notable fashion house, perhaps from the Dior or Givenchy or Balenciaga of old.

If you can't manage No. 5 or Miss Dior, perhaps this is not for you. I hope this can manage to be a classic in production for a very long time to come.

I selled White Diamonds on my sister-in-law a while back and I had to ask her what she was wearing, it was so nice. Very floral-chypre to my nose, which is a type of fragrance I like. I just saw some bottles at Marshalls. I'm tempted to go back for one. But I don't know, I've got enough right now - would I wear it often enough to give it precious drawer space? Probably not. Nice frag, though, imho. It depends on individual chemistry, of course. Many people loathe this stuff - but I think it smells nice. No fragrance smells good when it's hosed on.

Every time that I wore this fragrance I would get compliments. And it dries down to wonderful, soft sexy scent. I was so surprised because when I have smelled a tester, I did not like it. The top notes were very over-the-top. Men find this scent very sexy.
