Elizabeth Taylor Violet Eyes Eau de Parfum Spray 100 ml, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

A gene on chromosome 15 produces melanin, which helps determine skin and eye color. This gene can alter due to mutations and produce less pigment, causing the eyes to take on a bluish-purple hue. A few thousand years ago, the first blue-eyed man came into the world thanks to a gene mutation. Before that, there were only brown-eyed people. All people with blue eyes living today are descended from this ancestor, including me :) Furthermore, all blue-eyed people are related to each other. Since the fabulous beautiful Elizabeth Taylor had blue eyes, I am related to her! I find this idea very chic ;D However, Liz had violet blue eyes, mine are dark blue, but it doesn't matter, blue is blue after all! In Classic Hollywood Myths we take a look at all the myths about the Golden Age of Hollywood. What really happened? Are these ‘urban legends’ true or false? Classic Hollywood Central looks into it!

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on February 27, 1932, in London, England. One of film's most celebrated stars, Taylor fashioned a career that's covered more than six decades, accepting roles that have not only showcased her beauty, but her ability to take on emotionally charged characters. Purple eyes come with potential side effects and risks, regardless of how the unique hue develops. It’s essential to be aware of these complications and to seek medical attention if needed. Unfortunately, my blue (and unfortunately rather short-sighted) eyes will not manage to ever have a fragrance named after them. The violet-blue and unforgettable eyes of Elizabeth Taylor, however, are world-famous.......and the wonderful scent "Violet Eyes" was born...... Hadley Hall Meares; " Crazy Love: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s Epic Romance" Vanity Fair, 2020 This is the best of all of the Elizabeth Taylor fragrances, in my opinion. It's nice and pleasant and perfectly agreeable, though I don't feel it's anything out of the ordinary. It contains no violet, which I feel would have been a no-brainer to include, considering the name (even though it refers to her eyes, which were actually blue.) Go figure.This scent has absolutely nothing to do with violets, which I even regretted a little at first. However, the fresh and sour start is already so pleasing that I no longer mourn the violets. The fragrance has the stimulating, sparkling effect of a glass of champagne. With time, a ripe white-fleshed peach plops into the champagne glass, but the scent remains radiantly fresh, it smells rosy and unsweet (white peaches are rather rare in our country, but you can often find them in France, these peaches have a wonderful rose aroma). Despite the sparkling freshness, the scent remains true for many hours, with time it becomes soft-woody (cedar) and also very sensual. I think "Violet Eyes" is one of the most beautiful fragrances by Elizabeth Taylor (even if the gardenia favored by the film diva shines here completely with absence). Taylor was born on February 27, 1932 in London, England. Although she was born an English subject, her parents, Sara Taylor (née Sara Viola Warmbrodt) and Francis Taylor, were Americans, art dealers from St. Louis, Missouri (her father had gone to London to set up a gallery). Her mother had been an actress on the stage, but gave up that vocation when she married. Elizabeth lived in London until the age of seven, when the family left for the US when the clouds of war began brewing in Europe in 1939. They sailed without her father, who stayed behind to wrap up the loose ends of the art business. Really, it doesn’t matter if her eye color was truly violet or a deep blue. Everyone can agree, they were beautiful just the way they were. Violet Eyes is quite pretty, feminine and suitable for all ages. I think avid fans of Elizabeth Taylor will enjoy this as well as the younger consumers, who will no doubt wonder who on Earth she was. I'm glad she released one last fragrance before her passing, and I'm glad it was this one, a homage to her famous violet coloured eyes.

Taylor's American parents, both art dealers, were residing in London when she was born. Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the Taylors returned to the United States and settled into their new life in Los Angeles.While her love life continued to make international headlines, Taylor continued to shine as an actress. She delivered a riveting performance in the drama A Place in the Sun, and turned things up even more in 1956 with the film adaptation of the Edna Ferber novel, Giant, that co-starred James Dean. Two years later, she sizzled on the big screen in the film adaptation of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. The following year, she starred in another Williams classic, Suddenly Last Summer. Taylor earned her first Oscar, capturing the coveted Best Actress award for her role as a call girl in Butterfield 8 (1960). Part of the reason for the continued global popularity of Taylor’s eyes is due to ‘Elizabeth Taylor Violet Eyes’ — a perfume named after her, which launched in 2010 and that many Internet users are actually looking for in search, as opposed to general information about her eyes or eye colour. The second reason for Liz Taylor’s eye popularity lies within their apparent and unusual purple colour, which many adoring fans and journalists have eulogised for over half a century. But what colour were Elizabeth Taylor's eyes? The answer is, they were not purple, as many believe, but dark blue, and merely appeared to be a purple colour when exposed to lighting, make-up, particular hues of clothing or as a result of photographic re-touching. True purple coloured eyes are extremely rare, and almost always occur in people with albinism — the condition in which a person is born with little or no pigment in their eyes, skin or hair. Albinos possess low levels of melanin, the natural substance that determines pigment. It is this deficiency that creates purple eyes.

The union didn't last long and, in 1952, Taylor was walking down the aisle again—this time to marry actor Michael Wilding. In all, Taylor has married eight times during her life, twice to actor Richard Burton. Purple eyes continue to captivate people worldwide, likely due to its rarity. Those with violet eyes are “mysterious and alluring.” Some even consider them a symbol of strength and intelligence, qualities that set them apart. Final Thoughts Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was considered one of the last, if not the last, major star to have come out of the old Hollywood studio system. She was known internationally for her beauty, especially for her violet eyes, with which she captured audiences early on in her youth and kept the world hooked on with since. Taylor overcame a litany of health problems throughout the 1990s, from diabetes to congestive heart failure. She had both hips replaced, and in 1997, had a brain tumor removed. In October 2009, Taylor, who has four children, underwent successful heart surgery. In early 2011, Taylor again experienced heart problems. She was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Hospital that February for congestive heart failure. On March 23, 2011, Taylor passed away from the condition.Yes. Although uncommon, you can naturally inherit these enchanting hues due to genetic mutations, internal eye inflammation, or albinism. Genetic Mutations Elizabeth believed that a well-chosen perfume is an essential accessory for every woman. In 1987, she decided to blend her love of fine fragrances with her entrepreneurial spirit by releasing her first perfume, Passion. The scent was an instant hit. Today, Elizabeth’s record-breaking, award-winning perfume empire continues with 16 different scents in total, including the iconic White Diamonds.
