Popular actress and style icon Elizabeth Taylor was widely known for her beauty and her eccentric personal life, which often fell under tabloid scrutiny. In addition to being a film star, she founded a jewelry company and later became best known for her a collection of Elizabeth Taylor fragrances and charitable activism. Taylor came to fame as a child, starring in her first movie at the age of nine; however, the role that first made her famous was as the lead in Clarence Brown's film National Velvet. She went on to star in numerous blockbuster films over the years, making a name for herself in movies such as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and she then made waves in a new industry in the 1980s, becoming the first celebrity to release her own perfume line. Elizabeth Taylor fragrances were groundbreaking, as the 1987 release of her signature perfume Passion was a financial success with both genders; however, Passion for Men, introduced in 1989, is the only true Elizabeth Taylor cologne for men. The success of the Elizabeth Taylor Passion perfume collection was followed up by the success of White Diamonds, which was introduced in 1991. There were several diamond- and jewel-themed Elizabeth Taylor perfumes, such as Diamonds and Sapphires, Diamonds and Emeralds, and Diamonds and Rubies, all of which saw great success. Elizabeth Taylor perfumes enjoyed the popularity of many other luxury fragrance brands, and in all, 17 fragrances were introduced in her lifetime.
