Brand story and character

White Diamonds occupies a central place in the history of Elizabeth Taylor fragrances. The composition was released in 1991. Its description names white bergamot, lily, Egyptian tuberose, and jasmine. These four materials define the profile of White Diamonds itself and should not automatically be extended to the other fragrances bearing Elizabeth Taylor's name.

The White Diamonds line continued through compositions inspired by the original fragrance. The brand history establishes that the series developed, but this chapter does not provide a complete list of names. Each variation should therefore be considered through its own description.

In 2021, the limited-edition White Diamonds Legacy was released to mark the 30th anniversary of White Diamonds. The date connects this anniversary release with the 1991 fragrance and identifies a distinct later chapter in the series. Its limited-edition status applies specifically to Legacy.

Another established reference point is Violet Eyes. Perfumer Carlos Benaïm created the fragrance, which was released in 2010. This attribution separates Violet Eyes from the White Diamonds line and allows it to be considered as an independent work within the fragrance legacy associated with Elizabeth Taylor's name.

The history does not establish the brand's first fragrance, the perfumer behind White Diamonds, or the current rights structure. The reliable chronology is therefore limited to White Diamonds from 1991, Violet Eyes from 2010, and White Diamonds Legacy from 2021.
