I think she must of used tons of Estee Lauder stuff back then because I know the lip gloss she used was also EL. When she'd leave for work I'd ask for a kiss so I that could get a little lip gloss on my lips too and then I'd run to the mirror to admire it. The smell of any EL gloss still reminds me of that.

The success of Elzabeth Taylor's fragrance has motivated many other celebrities to launch their own perfumes. White diamonds is a thin floral fragrance, an example of top classics. The harmony of flowers and aldehydes in the top notes, together with the sharp base, give this fragrance an elegant vintage nuance. The top notes are aldehydes, bergamot, neroli, orange and lily. The heart unites the classical trio, violet, rose and jasmine, accompanied by ylang-ylang, Egyptian tuberose and narcissus. The base is composed of oak moss, patchouli, musk, sandalwood and amber. The perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1991.
This is clear, a warm and purely feminine fragrance. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, and honeysuckle blend with sensual musk and amber.
It is available as 10 ml Musk Oil with Touch Stick, 25 and 60 ml Cologne Concentrate Spray, 100 ml Cologne Spray and 70 ml All-Over Body Spray.

Body Shop white musk is what all of the 1990s smelled like (and to a lesser extent, "dewberry", and whatever that pink one was). I rly loved body shop white musk! Don't know if it's the same as this one?
