It’s one of those fragrances you either love or hate. It has immense sillage and presence… it doesn’t suit casual wear but rather a full-skirted gala dress with enormous earrings. You won’t go unnoticed. It matters not whether it’s day or night; this is for women ready to shine in dazzling jewels, who know they’ll make a statement with a single movement of their head. It’s not for those who shy away from attracting attention.
It’s not a bombshell, though I absolutely love potent oriental scents. Perhaps the EDT would be lighter for you. It opens green, powdery and fresh with a spicy touch. What truly surprises me is that intense carnation – super floral and animalic, reminiscent of Maja vintage – before softening into something sweet and warm thanks to myrrh, opoponax, sandalwood and amber. Lavender and rosemary add an interesting herbal note, reminding me of Dior’s Dune. Nard is the second key floral. It sits between animalic and elegant, with incredible sillage and longevity. Highly recommended for day or night.
It’s not a strong fragrance for me, although I enjoy intense orientals. Perhaps the EDT would be fresher. It opens green, powdery and fresh, with a hint of spice. What stands out most is a very intense carnation, super floral, which surprises me that it’s not the main note. It smells very animalic and musky, recalling the carnation in Maja vintage, before softening into something sweet and warm thanks to myrrh, opoponax, sandalwood and amber. Lavender and rosemary give it an interesting herbal touch, reminding me of Dior’s Dune. Nard is the second key floral. It lies between animalic and elegant, with incredible sillage and longevity. Highly recommended for day or night.
Oscar is very persistent, with a great trail and strong longevity… almost invasive. It is a representative floral fragrance of the seventies, with a powdery or dusty nuance where neroli is the absolute protagonist. It can result in being cloying, and for some women addicted to fresher or citrusy scents, it could give them a headache. Oscar is the ideal companion for very self-assured women, with a clear tendency towards luxuries bordering on excess, who enjoy opulence and exuberance without falling into vulgarity. It is the simile for great characters who fluctuate between the ridiculous and the genius, on the thin red line but without losing their category.
Very feminine, powdery, and floral, with an intense opening of carnations, without forgetting its oriental spicy notes such as myrrh and sandalwood. Very good trail despite considering it rather a subtle and soft fragrance, non-invasive; I fully agree with Baptiste on this. I believe today it is a legend and certainly not to the taste of new generations who prefer fruitier or fresher fragrances. For me, a refined classic of excellent taste.
I adored it; I have very good memories. I’ve asked for it, but they never have it… it’s very special.
This perfume is classic elegance. Its beauty is declared on the bottle itself. Oscar reveals his power and personality from the start: opening with weak white florals, a touch of citrus, and a clove that shouts ‘I’ve arrived.’ Immediately, the precious flowers appear: neroli, lavender, orchid, jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris, and a rosemary that calms the clove. After ten minutes, amber, benzoin, myrrh, sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli become perceptible. Oscar is tremendously spicy; once settled, I don’t smell the flowers as much anymore; to me, it’s woods, patchouli, and many very powdery spices. Despite its composition, it doesn’t bother; it feels soft, subtle, elegant, and sensual. One needs great poise and personality to wear such a magnificent perfume with dignity, so complex and full of nuances. Oscar, you are a wonder.

I’m sorry for judging you wrongly; my mother used to wear you, and I didn’t take to you, finding you rather heavy. I was a child and knew nothing of good fragrances, but now I miss scents like yours—strong and characterful. At first, I detect the myrrh and cloves, but later a mist of white flowers and sandalwood emerges. You could be unisex. Perfect longevity and trail, 8/10.
I apologise for judging you poorly; my mother used to wear it and I didn’t like it, I felt it was very heavy. As a child, I knew nothing of good fragrances, but now I miss scents like yours, strong and characterful. On first impression, I detect myrrh and cloves, but in the development white flowers and sandalwood emerge; it could be unisex. Fixation and sillage are perfect, 8/10.
Dry, powdery, and odorous; very much a scent for an older lady, yet fantastic. It has great quality and longevity.
A unique creation with a very strong, persistent, obstinate, and willful character. Talc, talc, and more talc. Delicious powder mists sprinkled with spices and subtly sweet floral touches. I have two bottles of this olfactory classic that I adore. My mother loves it too. The fixation is excellent, lasting for hours, and the dry-down is splendid.
Upon application, the first scent I notice is bergamot, followed by cloves. Then it transforms into powdery talc, haha. I think it’s for women over 50. My mum uses it and it looks spectacular on her—soft and delicate. I recommend it for daily use, day or night, but better in autumn or winter.
I’m a 30-year-old man and it works wonders on my skin. No one has told me it’s a women’s scent, only that I smell good. Without hesitation, I’ll keep using it. It’s strong but softens into a delicious talc. It suits me perfectly; there was a chemical reaction between its DNA and my skin. Occasionally, notes of peach, pepper, neroli, iris, clove, and a host of flowers emerge. I consider it unisex for 2020, provided male skin accepts it as its own.
It has a very strong character and an overwhelming personality. It smells of grandmother, cathedral or a dirty parchment. The scent is addictive; I adore it. It smells very much of incense, reminding me of Shalimar. I bought it blind and have no regrets. I see it as suitable for very elderly people, yet I wear it myself at twenty years old.
It has a beastly character and a personality that won’t leave you indifferent. It smells like grandma, a cathedral, or an old parchment, yet it’s addictive; I love it. Incense dominates, reminding me of Shalimar. I bought it blind and have no regrets. I see it as a fragrance for the very elderly, but at 20, I wear it and it suits me perfectly.
I like perfumes that not everyone dares to wear, those that command ‘respect’ and are recommended with care. It’s not about being contrarian or seeking attention, nor forcing myself to wear them, but because they usually match my tastes. When I read reviews saying it’s for someone mature, an older lady, too serious, or classic, ‘you either love it or hate it’, a space opens up on my wish list. It’s surely worth trying. I have fragrances that don’t bother anyone, but also those that give me a unique experience, transporting me to times and places. That doesn’t usually happen with the ‘rose+pear+vanilla’ combination (which I love, but that’s another story). Oscar is one of those. Of the ones I’m not sure will please those around me, but I don’t care. It is intense and super talcaceous. A floral so complex for my nose that I can’t describe it. It smells of a determined, powerful, sturdy woman. That femininity of my grandmother, serious and distant to outsiders, sweet and close to her own. I also have Esprit d’Oscar, which maintains the DNA but is fresher for warm climates. Perhaps start with that. (I love both).
What stands out most is that it smells talcaceous and spicy. Perfumes like this, or La Panthère, are not for every woman. It must be a mature woman (not necessarily in age) with character and drive, willing to be the centre of attention. It’s not in my collection; it belongs to my grandmother. However, on formal occasions, I like to wear it in a small dose, just what’s necessary.
I appreciate perfumes that demand ‘respect’ and are recommended for cautious use. It’s not about seeking attention, but rather because they often align with my tastes. When I read reviews stating it’s for mature, serious or vintage individuals, I add it to my wishlist. It’s surely worth it. I have fragrances that don’t bother anyone, but also these that offer a unique experience, transporting me to other times. The ‘rose+pear+vanilla’ combination is delightful, but this is another matter entirely. Oscar is intense and very powdery, a floral so complex I struggle to describe it. It smells of a willful, powerful and sturdy woman, with the kind of femininity my grandmother possessed: serious and distant to outsiders, yet sweet to her own. I also own the Esprit, which is fresher for hot weather. I recommend starting with that. I love both of them.
A magnificent timeless talcaceous scent. Without a doubt, the best by Oscar de la Renta. One of my mother’s favourites; it was her first perfume and it suited her personality perfectly. It is quite spicy, with cloves always present, a citrus touch at the start that adds freshness, and an exquisite floral. For women with character, glamorous and cheerful, executives, or very polished, it goes perfectly with floral dresses, very spring-like, although in winter with a good coat it is also spectacular. For daring men it works too, alongside Dior Homme Intense; they don’t resemble each other, but in 2021 Oscar could pass as unisex, especially for being original. It looks perfect with a light or white suit. Without a doubt a masterpiece, very late 70s, classic, timeless, magnificent, and unique, with the brand’s elegance and monstrous longevity at a super good price. If you buy it, you won’t regret it because people will always remember you for that peculiar and exquisite aroma.
Simply sublime.
Oscar is a super powerful bomb. A spicy aldehydic opening that later becomes floral but retains the carnation. It reminds me greatly of Moscow Red, another very strong Russian fragrance.
It smells very aldehydic, reminiscent of Chanel No. 5, L’Air du Temps, or Caleche. Very vintage, very ‘old lady’ chic. I don’t see it on a woman under 50. The opening is soapy, giving it distinction, but it’s the white heart that provides the personality. It smells intimidating; not for everyone.
Classic and superbly elegant, not for casual use; you can tell someone is wearing perfume. That balsamic and spicy base is present throughout the development; it’s a powerful bomb where Oscar de la Renta spared no notes or projection. For special occasions only, nothing for daily wear or sleeping. If you want to wear a floral-spiced scent this potent, prepare to be noticed and to make a statement. It lasts a long time and resists tobacco smoke. It’s beautiful and classic, but it doesn’t win me over. For weddings, galas, or parties, if that was the designer’s plan, he executed it perfectly. Opulent, a fierce yet elegant beast.
Elegant and powerful, yet smells of bygone years. I imagine a woman in a large hat, noir style. Talcaceous and spicy, more vintage than modern, ideal for autumn and winter. My mother used to wear it; while I liked it, it doesn’t suit my style, but it is timeless and memorable.
Soapy neroli with a spicy twist; starts green but dries down to talc. Oscar is classy; its only flaw is that it’s perfect.
Smells fantastic and lasts all day.
