About This Perfume
Oscar de la Renta Oscar smells like powdery floral with spicy orange blossom warmth. It opens with coriander, cascarilla and orange blossom, moves into tuberose, ylang-ylang and jasmine and settles on patchouli, vanilla and castoreum. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for date nights. Released in 1977.
In the community's experience it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
