Diamonds and Rubies vs Passion

While Diamonds and Rubies is occasionally mentioned as a Chanel No. 5 alternative, community consensus suggests White Diamonds is the better Elizabeth Taylor dupe. Both offer affordable, aldehyde-heavy classic fragrances with old-school elegance, though they're not perfect replacements and may not appeal to those seeking modern scents.

Passion by Elizabeth Taylor receives divided but passionate opinions from the fragrance community. While admirers celebrate it as a gorgeous, underrated vintage scent perfect for romantic occasions with a unique powdery-leather-woody profile, detractors find it overpowering, animalic, and reminiscent of dated bathroom products. The fragrance appeals most to those who appreciate bold, vintage fragrances rather than contemporary tastes.
