Elizabeth Taylor's Passion

In the mid-'80s she had a renaissance of sorts after a stint in Betty Ford coupled with a crash diet and good plastic surgery.

Passion is a very unisex fragrance by today's standards.

Yes it is.

What a beautiful ass! I would kiss it for hours. Thank you!

Liz was there for us when nobody else was.

I have Passion for Men. I found it on one of those discount fragrance sites. It smells different from what I recall. When I wore it in 1989-90, women loved it on me.

I like Gardenia and the one she pimped on The Nanny, Black Pearls. A little of BP and Passions goes a long way though.

oooo fancy do you have the original "parfum"?

Liz made hundreds of millions of $$$ off of her fragrances, much more than she ever made in movies.

I got mine a few years ago. Still have most of the bottle, LOL.

Yes and she didn't rip people off with sub-par scents. She and Alain Delon were among the first to hit big in celebrity fragrances. And a lot of cash went to AIDS charity.

In the running for the gayest sentence posted on DL in 2020:

"Elizabeth Taylor's Passion. I'm wearing this tonight and watching Ash Wednesday"

That ad kinda turned me on.

OP, I wish I was sitting with you, breathing in Passion and enjoying the film.

Her perfume line was by far the most successful for decades with sales well over $1 billion. However, Ariana Grande's fragrance empire will overtake her in the next 3 years as it is growing at a much faster pace than Taylor's did in its heyday.

Elizabeth Taylor was worth somewhere between $600 million and $1 billion at the time of her death, PopEater reported.

Taylor is said to have earned most of her money from smart business deals, including her Elizabeth Arden fragrances White Diamonds and Passion. Late last week, the cosmetics company said it will continue to produce the perfumes, which have generated $1 billion in sales since 1991.

White Diamonds is one of those "love it or hate it" fragrances—beautiful in moderation but lethal if oversprayed. Some people use it in the john instead of Glade or Lysol. LOL

"Elizabeth Arden fragrances White Diamonds and Passion"

Ah no. Typo there, fella at R14. Two different brands.

OP, sir, you are a WHORE. And I salute you.

Her fragrances were initially produced and distributed by Parfums International, a division of Chesebrough-Pond's that was sold to Elizabeth Arden/Unilever in 1988. Today they're produced by an outfit called House of Taylor. Fragrance mavens agree that the Parfums International versions were the best.

R14's post made me sad thinking about how hugely rich Elizabeth sounded to have been yet she experienced so many health issues and died at an age that today would be considered relatively not really that old...what good was all that financial self-worth to her, in the end? Hopefully it did help her to obtain and maintain the best healthcare and material comforts possible for her till the end.

Taylor had one of the best facelifts I've seen around the time that Passion perfume was first released. So much better than the face work you see done today.

I recently watched her in Night Watch which came out in 1973, and she was fat and haggard-looking. It doesn't seem possible that she was able to completely transform her face and body10 years later. Her plastic surgeon deserved an Oscar.

How did she go from looking this young and healthy to barely being able to walk just a few years later?

I lost my Oscar to a tracheotomy!

She looked fabulous in the 80s.

R21 She also did Ash Wednesday in 1973 and she is unbelievably gorgeous in the film.

R18 sadly almost no perfumes created before 2000 can be as good as they were, just 20 years ago. The molecules have all been switched out. For example all the 80s powerhouses have changed. Taylor perfumes were so popular one can find 30 yo bottles and they aren't too expensive. But I get a kinky kick out of some of the reformulations, like Passion. Or Vanderbilt, now a 10 dollar dimestore sweetie.

If having a celebrity branded perfume was a think much earlier. Joan Crawford for sure would've had one with her name on it, and she would've made a massive fortune.

She would've promoted the hell out of it just as she did with Pepsi Cola!

Name Joan's frag.
