Elizabeth Taylor:
I've been trying to steer clear of the absurdly-big names, but damnit, those violet eyes got me. The *talent*, the *presence*, the string of marriages and (temporally out-of-bounds) work in combating AIDS and pioneering in the concept of the celebrity fragrance line.
Not only did she have gorgeous violet eyes and lashes for days and one of the hottest voices ever, she was also a big supporter of the gay community
Child actress turned starlet, Liz dominated films as one of the greatest screen legends of classic hollywood. If your protagonist has violet eyes, they're imitating hers.
A Legend. She was serving milf rage in Whos Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. A Star in every sense of the word.
She was renowned for the beauty of her eyes; they were a dark blue but could look violet in certain lighting, something that photographers would actually touch up to look even more so in pictures. But even more striking was a genetic mutation that gave her a double row of eyelashes. She was also famed for her string of husbands -- 8 marriages to 7 men. Two-time hubby Richard Burton once said she was “a wildly exciting love-mistress… beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography.”
Her EYES. Early and loud support for gay rights and AIDS victims. Married a bunch of hot dudes, Burton twice!
just look at her. she's gorgeous. there's a video somewhere of her applying her eyeliner in the mirror and I think about it all the time
THE Hollywood actress of all time. Not only was she known for her long dark locks and blue-violet eyes, she also had one of the wildest life stories ever….. She’s Carrie Fisher’s stepmother because her father Eddie Fisher cheated on Debbie Reynolds with Liz. She was knighted as a dame of England. She was married to seven different men, one of them twice. She was also very kindhearted and did a lot of charity activism.
Asides from being an iconic actor, she did a lot of philanthropy and co founded the American Foundation for AIDS research. She’s sometimes considered one of the last great stars of old hollywood

Perfume Headcanons
Note: this is solely based on fragrances in my collection, I love fragrance and I feel as though all scents are unisex so here this is! I can't explain my thought process on these either, vibes only.
Long post, read more under the cut!
Cumulus as Chateau, 1970 by Thin Wild Mercury
Top notes: French citrus, nutmeg; Middle notes: Sunset rose accord, vintage armoire wood; Base notes: musks, modern linen.
Light, airy, and so comforting. Reminds me of putting away fresh laundry in your wardrobe with the windows open on a sunny afternoon.
Cirrus as Dead Sexy by Tokoyo Milk
Notes of deep vanilla, exotic wood, white orchid, and ebony.
This is a scent I can immediately pick out in a crowd, intense and head turning. Something alluring and sensual while being divinely feminine.
Aurora as Bombshell from Victoria's Secret
Notes: purple passion fruit, Shangri-La peony, vanilla orchid.
One of my favorite scents from my teen years, I used to receive the fragrance sets and I would give away all but Bombshell. It's such a wearable, playful scent that stays all day and I'll never ever give her up.
Sunshine as Ed Hardy by Christian Audigier
Top notes: strawberry and apple souffle; Middle note: freesia; Base notes: vanilla and amber.
This was my very first perfume I ever owned and I've repurchased it multiple times since then. In my teens, I paired it with Muertos by Blackheart, something about the fruity musks together is so playful.
Swiss as Amber by Nemat
I cannot find any fragrance notes for Amber, but this is honestly one of my favorites as of late. It's a very subtle, but warm and inviting, that dries down to more of a skin-like scent.
Aether as Elvira's Zombi by Demeter Fragrances
Notes of ylang-ylang, red poppies, cherry, cannabis, coca leaves, tobacco leaves, and vanilla bean.
I'm still kicking myself that I never bought a full-size of this fragrance before it was discontinued. It's very dark, yet enticing and strong.
Dewdrop as Whisky, 1969
Top notes: pink pepper, cardamom; Middle notes: raspberry, nutmeg, ylang-ylang; Base notes: cedarwood, boubon amber.
My top favorite from the Los Angeles collection, I would wear this religiously if I had a full size. Lingers for days, especially on clothing and in the hair. Captivating and warm.
Phantom as Vanilla Musk from Nemat
Such a soft, sweet gourmand that is backed with the most beautiful notes of musk. My second favorite Nemat fragrance, wears incredibly well (especially if your body care routine is based in vanilla scents).
Mountain as Fresh Brewed Coffee and Caramel by Demeter Fragrances
Both are fragrance notes that pair beautifully to make a very convincing fresh caramel coffee scent, reminds me of Deidrich caramel coffee pods for the Keurig. A gourmand I love in the winter.
Rain as Zuma, 1975 by Thin Wild Mercury
Top notes: bergamot, corriander; Middle notes: ocean waves, Jasmine sambac; Base notes: sandalwood, vetiver, amberette musk.
I'm not one for more beachy, salt water fragrances but this is one I cannot stay away from during the summer. Incredibly wearable and lasts for hours, even through working outdoors in the heat.
