Spring in a Bottle

Freesia is the main note I smell, followed by water-lily. Next a hint of gardenia slips in and just when you think it's a floral fruity spring garden, cardamom, musk and the slightest pinch of vanilla give it some extra edge and raise it from a *mere* fruity floral to something more worthy of the De La Renta name & reputation.

The water lily keeps it light and fresh, the freesia seduces me over and over to smell my wrists (the freesia note is very noticeable on me! I love that because I love freesias) the gardenia gives it more dept. And the gourmand notes give it personality. Wonderfully done! It's a happy classy floral with a fruity juicy edge that gets more character in the dry-down without losing its floral smile.

Fresh, loveable easy to wear and IMO suitable for every age and occasion. An Italian spring near Lake Garda. The bottle is also very chic. Almost devoid of any markings except for the slight engraving of the "SOdelarenta" name on the gold rim on the cap. It looks as though it's a perfume 'decanter'....waiting to get filled when empty. A very elegant flacon for your vanity.

Silage is: "fresh flowers that seduce you with innocence, than show you some spice" -- Silage is decent: 5+ hours on me. Another beautiful "Oscar" that I will keep in my bedroom! ; )

A crisp, refreshing floral

I bought this for my mother for Christmas. I picked it up at a bargain price and was rather pleased with myself because finding the perfect fragrance for my mother is a difficult task.

So de la Renta smells like roses. Not the heavy kind, more like a Spring-appropriate pink rose with citrus undertones and watery melon.

The opening notes of melon and gardenia make quite an interesting and unique blend. I'm not surprised that this is a classic and rather popular fragrance. I may be young but even I enjoy wearing this on certain occasions. So de la Renta also has great sillage and comes in a classy and well-designed bottle which looks great when displayed on a dresser.

The heart surprises

The top note here is immediately reminiscent of Jardins de Bagatelle Eau de Parfum, only SO is a little more fruity and you don't immediately fall head over heels like a bee into the flowers, covered in floral dust. So is much more gracious, more harmonious but the two are similar, confusingly similar. You could also express yourself differently and say,So is more boring but I don't like such terms.For me there is almost no boring fragrance.There is quiet and loud,just like everything in between (just like with us humans).
Narcisse I definitely smell immediately, also the melon and gardenia, here it does not bother me, there are plenty of flowers, so many colors dancing in the air, yellow, red, pink and blue, but the fragrance does not seem overloaded
Well, I somehow thought it would stay so much longer, but after just 15 minutes the fragrance takes on a completely different character. SO gently settles on the skin, is that the musk? But what a gentle kiss of musk.I swear I could also smell a small pinch of grated vanilla pod.A glance at the pyramid proves that my nose is not mistaken.I detect tuberose but it has nothing in common with the typical scratchy,in-yo-face tubi.

Something ripe and fruity in every sense prevents the fragrance from slipping into the one-dimensional and becoming an ordinary 8711 I have to admit,I don't know what a plum smells like in perfumes.Here I can't recognize it,but the heart is perfect as it is.Very slightly sweet,it hasn't lost the floral crown,but has become much more harmonious and even a little sexy.Again,does that make the plum or what smells so seductive and at the same time cultivated here? This heart does not stay and beat for long.After 4 hours there is only a hint left.Now I only smell musk tuberose and have to smell it constantly.

Oh I love the So de la Renta Eau de Toilette. I think the Oscar fragrances are the best affordable designer fragrances. You don't get "ok for the price" at all, but a perfume that smells high quality, has been lovingly created and would certainly win a blind test in the top 10. Even the bottle is a dream, so simple but still romantic and beautiful to look at
Now I just have to smell every single Oscar, that's all. Just all of them.
Already "

@* d'Oscar (Eau de Toilette) | Oscar de la Renta" lives in my head since I smelled it. But someone please tell me why these asterisks instead of the rest of the name?
