Is this a vintage-smelling perfume like other Elizabeth Taylor scents?+−
No, Violet Eyes is considered much more modern and "sparkly" compared to the heavier, aldehyde-rich perfumes the brand released in the 1980s and 90s. It focuses on fresh fruit and clean woods rather than spicy or animalic notes.
How long does the fragrance typically last on the skin?+−
Unlike many light, fruity-floral scents that fade quickly, this fragrance is noted for its strong performance. It retains the signature longevity of the Elizabeth Taylor line, often lasting through a full workday.
Does Violet Eyes actually smell like violets?+−
Interestingly, violet is not a note in this fragrance. The perfume was named as a tribute to Elizabeth Taylor’s famous eye color. The "purple" feel of the scent comes from the powdery rose and jasmine combined with the cedarwood base.
Is this suitable for the office?+−
Yes, it is a very popular choice for business and professional settings. Because it is fresh, powdery, and clean rather than "loud" or heavy, it is generally considered non-offensive and sophisticated.
