White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor gift set
This Valentine’s Day,
don’t rely on flowers or chocolates – instead, shower love with the
glamorous indulgence of White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. Few women have
inspired and embodied love more passionately than the legendary
Elizabeth
Taylor. She dazzled the world, and the men who adored her gifted her

included the 33 carat flawless Elizabeth Taylor stone and the celebrated
Taj Mahal diamond – pieces she prized due to
their remarkable craftsmanship and flawless rarity. She wore her
exquisite jewelry daily and believed that “a girl can always have more
diamonds” – a perspective which led her to create the lush and feminine
fragrance, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor.

this iconic fragrance makes a truly special gift, with a gorgeous gift
set designed to pamper her with the sumptuousness of diamonds from head
to toe. From the extravagant luxury of a perfumed bath to the final
spritz
of this sensational scent, White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor ensure her
special day will be one she’ll treasure for
years to come. After all, she’s the star of your love affair and
deserves something radiant, extraordinarily rare, overwhelmingly and
dazzlingly
beautiful – White Diamonds Elizabeth Taylor. Offered only during the Valentine’s Day
season, the Gift Set includes a 1.7 fl. oz. Eau de Toilette Spray
Naturel, a 3.3 fl. Oz. Perfumed Body Lotion, a 3.3 fl. oz. Luxury Bath
Bubbles, a 1 fl. oz. Satin Body Talc,

as the woman whose name it carries.
