For as long as I can remember I've loved a diva. I'm not talking about the Britney school of diva-dom. I think you can work out what ladies I'm talking about from the title of this post.When I was old enough to find out that Elizabeth Taylor had released a fragrance - White Diamonds - I became obsessed with her and it. Launching in 1991, it was reported in 2011 that it was still the best-selling perfume of all time (it reached $61.3million in sales in 2010), and the most successful celebrity fragrance ever launched.The beauty of White Diamonds is that once you have a whiff, you can immediately imagine that that is EXACTLY how Elizabeth Taylor smelled. A super-sweet, fabulously floral, heady aroma that fills your nostrils.Fast forward 23 years, and Taylor's friend Joan Collins is having quite the comeback. She is the face of Snickers, appeared on Benidorm, launched a wig line and now... her very own beauty collection complete with signature fragrance - I AM WOMAN. What I love about I AM WOMAN, and White Diamonds for that matter, is that they are unapologetic in their extreme femininity. They totally overthrow the garden salad minimalism that a lot of fragrances now bow to.The press release states that: "Joan believes that fragrance works in maximum effect when applied in layers". It basically means that not only can you spritz yourself, but you can use the Essence as a room scent or bath fragrance. Just to get a bit technical too, ingredients such as lemon peel, orange zest, rose, jasmine, vanilla and sandalwood make up this scent.You can just picture Joan dousing herself in this. This is exactly how I imagine her to smell. And I love it!I almost forgot to mention the brilliant Contra Time Skincare Collection (£35) too. The above are, we are told, 'Joan's favourite skincare products in handy travel sizes to keep the most jet-set women looking flawless and fabulous all day, every day. A regime to cleanse, tone, moisturize day and night'.And don't they just sound fabulous? These are just the most PERFECT Mother's Day gift!
