"It's a beautiful, soft powdery scent that is perfect for pretty much any occasion."
Perfume lovers are grabbing a 'masterpiece' scent that has nearly 40% off in a limited-time sale. Violet Eyes by Elizabeth Taylor normally retails at £52 for a 100ml bottle but has been reduced to £32 on OFFSCENT.
Launched in 2010, Violet Eyes was created by renowned perfumer Carlos Benaïm. Highly renowned, Benaïm has worked on numerous bestselling fragrances, including YSL Libre (£82.50 for 50ml), ViktorandRolf's Flowerbomb (£60 for 30ml) and Giorgio Armani's My Way (£57 for 30ml).
Violet Eyes opens up with bright peach, although as the top note, this is the first to fade, before settling into a floral heart of rose and jasmine. It's got a woody base of Virginia cedar, peony and amber.
While it has yet to receive reviews on OFFSCENT, Violet Eyes has garnered glowing praise on Fragrantica, a platform where fragrance enthusiasts share their opinions. Many fragrance fans shared their love for the fresh, summery scent.
One user wrote: "This is a great affordable light fresh-fruity-floral. It's along the lines of Light Blue, Daisy (especially Daisy) and I Love Love. If you love these perfumes, or fragrances similar to those, you would most likely love this one! Perfect for Spring and Summer, but super fresh for Summer without being "beachy". The dry down is similar to Light Blue if LB also had a fruitiness to it."

Product Description
Many are making comparisons between Violet Eyes and Light Blue, noting that Light Blue costs twice as much at £64 for a 30ml bottle at Boots. One fragrance fan said: "I adore Violet Eyes. It's the only perfume I can wear from the Elizabeth Taylor collection because it's not outdated, and the notes are seamlessly blended. A masterpiece by Carlos Benaïm. It's like the woody floral version of the citrusy fresh Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana. Beautiful and reasonably priced."
However, not everyone is drawn to this fragrance for everyday use, with some finding it more appropriate for the colder months. One disappointed shopper said: "Out of all the Elizabeth Taylor perfumes I own, this wasn't one I'd reach for. I've been trying to cycle through my collection and use up stuff, and this one really surprised me -- while it's a floral, it really shines in the winter, thanks to the cedar note. It's very light and frothy, and it lifted my spirits. To make it feel more woodsy, I layered it with Good Chemistry's Rustic Woods."
OFFSCENT has a huge selection of perfumes on their website, including discounted ones. However, our readers get an exclusive 25% discount on full-priced fragrances such as Lancome La Vie Est Belle Eau de Parfum when they use the code REACH25.
