About This Perfume
Think powdery lemon blossoms with soft musky warmth: that is Oscar de la Renta Esprit d’Oscar. It opens with amalfi lemon, citron and bergamot, moves into iris, violet and African orange flower and settles on heliotrope, musk and tonka bean. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2011.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something clean and powdery for casual days.
- Sample first if: powdery is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $31.
