This is one of those fragrances you either love or hate. It has massive projection and presence… it doesn’t go well with casual clothes, but rather with a full-skirted gala gown and huge earrings. You won’t go unnoticed. It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night; this is for women ready to shine with dazzling jewelry, who know they’ll make a statement with a single head turn. It’s not for those who shy away from attention.
It’s not a strong fragrance for me, even though I love intense oriental scents. Maybe the EDT would be fresher. It starts green, powdery, and fresh with a hint of spice. What stands out most is an incredibly intense, super-floral clove, which surprises me since it’s not the main note. It smells very animalic and musky, reminding me of the vintage Maja before softening into something sweet and warm thanks to myrrh, opoponax, sandalwood, and amber. Lavender and rosemary add an interesting herbal touch, reminiscent of Dior’s Dune. Nard is the second key floral. It sits between animalic and elegant, with incredible trail and longevity. Highly recommended for day or night.

Oscar is very persistent, has great sillage, and excellent longevity… almost invasive. It’s a representative floral fragrance of the seventies, with a powdery or dusty touch 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 toward luxuries bordering on excess, who enjoy opulence and exuberance without falling into vulgarity. It’s the simile to 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 like myrrh and sandalwood. Great sillage despite considering it a rather subtle and soft fragrance, not invasive; I fully agree with Baptiste on this. I think today it’s a legend and not to the taste of new generations who prefer fruitier or fresher fragrances. For me, it’s a refined classic of very good taste.
I adored it; I have very good memories of it. I’ve asked about it, but they never have it… it’s very special.
This perfume is classic elegance. Its beauty is declared right on the bottle. Oscar shows his power and personality from the start: it opens with weak white flowers, a bit of citrus, and a clove that shouts ‘I’m here.’ Immediately, the precious flowers appear: neroli, lavender, orchid, jasmine, ylang-ylang, iris, and a rosemary that calms the clove. After 10 minutes, you can detect amber, benzoin, myrrh, sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli. Oscar is tremendously spicy; once settled, I don’t smell the flowers as much; to me, it’s woods, patchouli, and many very powdery spices. Despite its composition, it’s not overwhelming; it feels soft, subtle, elegant, and sensual. You need great bearing and personality to wear such a magnificent, complex, and nuanced fragrance with dignity. Oscar, you are a marvel.

I apologize for judging you poorly; my mom used to wear you, and you didn’t agree with me; you felt very heavy. I was a child and didn’t know about good fragrances, but now I miss scents like yours—strong and characterful. At first, I notice myrrh and cloves, but then the mist of white flowers and sandalwood appears. You could be unisex. Excellent sillage and projection, 8/10.
I apologize for judging you badly; my mother used to wear it and I didn’t like it. I felt it was too heavy, I was a child, and I didn’t know about good fragrances, but now I miss scents like yours—strong and with character. On the first impression, I detect myrrh and cloves, but in the development, white flowers and sandalwood emerge; it could be unisex. Fixation and trail are perfect, 8/10.
Dry, powdery, and perfumed—very much like an older lady—but still fantastic. It has great quality and longevity.
A unique creation with a very strong, persistent, stubborn, and willful character. Talc, talcum powder, and more talcum powder. Delicious powder mists sprinkled with spices and subtly sweet floral touches. I own two bottles of this classic olfactory beauty that I adore. My mom loves it too. The sillage is excellent, lasting for hours, and the dry-down is splendid.
I’m a 30-year-old man and it works wonderfully on my skin. No one has told me it’s a women’s fragrance; they just say I smell good. Without a doubt, I’ll keep wearing it. It’s strong but softens into a delicious talcum powder scent. It fits me perfectly; there was a chemical reaction between its DNA and my skin. From time to time, notes of peach, pepper, neroli, iris, clove, and a bunch of flowers emerge. I consider it unisex for 2020, as long as male skin accepts it like it’s its own.
Upon application, the first scent I notice is bergamot, followed by cloves. Then it transforms into powdery talcum powder, haha. I think it’s for women over 50. My mom 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.
It has a beastly character and a personality that won’t leave you indifferent. It smells like grandma, a cathedral, or an old parchment, but it’s addictive—I love it. Incense dominates; it reminds me of Shalimar. I bought it blind and have no regrets. I see it as a fragrance for very old people, but I’m 20 and it suits me perfectly.
I like perfumes that demand respect and should be used with caution. Not to attract attention, but because they usually match my tastes. When I read reviews saying it’s for mature, serious, or vintage people, I add it to my wishlist. It’s definitely worth a try. I have scents that don’t bother anyone, but also these that offer a unique experience, transporting me to other times. The ‘rose+pear+vanilla’ combo is great, but this is another story. Oscar is intense and very powdery, a floral so complex I can’t describe it. It smells like a determined, powerful, and sturdy woman, with that femininity of my grandmother: serious and distant to outsiders, sweet to her own. I also have the Esprit, fresher for the heat. I recommend starting with that. I love both of them.
It has a very strong character and an overwhelming personality. It smells like grandma, a cathedral, or a dirty parchment. The scent is addictive; I love it. It smells very much like incense, reminding me of Shalimar. I bought it blind and have no regrets. I see it as something for very elderly people, but I’m 20 and I wear it.
What stands out most is that it smells talcy and spicy. Perfumes like this, or La Panthere, aren’t for any woman. It must be a mature woman (not necessarily in age) with character and drive, willing to be the center of attention. It’s not in my collection; it’s my grandmother’s. However, on formal occasions, I like to wear it in a small dose, just what’s necessary.
I like perfumes that not everyone dares to wear, those that command respect and are recommended with caution. 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 too classic, ‘you either love it or hate it,’ a slot opens up on my wish list. It’s surely worth trying. I have fragrances that don’t bother anyone, but I also have those that give me a unique experience, transporting me to times and places. That usually doesn’t happen with the ‘rose+pear+vanilla’ combo (which I love, but that’s another story). Oscar is one of those. Ones I’m not sure my surroundings will like, but I don’t care. It’s intense and super talcy. A floral so complex for my nose that I can’t describe it. It smells like a determined, powerful, tough woman. That femininity of my grandmother, serious and distant to outsiders, sweet and close to her own. I also have Esprit D’Oscar, which keeps the DNA but is fresher for warm climates. Maybe start with that. (I love both).
A magnificent timeless talc scent. Undoubtedly the best by Oscar de la Renta. One of my mother’s favorites; it was her first perfume and it looked incredible on her due to her personality. It’s quite spicy, the cloves are always there, 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 pairs perfectly with floral dresses, very spring-like, though in winter with a good coat it’s also spectacular. It also works well for bold men, on par with Dior Homme Intense. They don’t resemble each other, but in 2021 Oscar could pass as unisex, especially because it’s original. It looks perfect with a light or white suit. Undoubtedly 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. Spicy aldehydic opening that then turns floral but keeps the carnation. It reminds me a lot of Moscow Red, another very strong Russian fragrance.
It smells very aldehydic, like Chanel No. 5, L’Air du Temps, or Caleche. Very vintage, very high-class lady. I don’t see this on a woman under 50. The opening is soapy, giving it distinction, but it’s the white heart that gives it personality. It smells intimidating, not for everyone.
Classic and super elegant, not for casual wear. You can tell someone is wearing perfume. That balsamic and spicy base is present throughout the entire development. It’s a powerful bomb that Oscar de la Renta didn’t skimp on notes or projection. For special occasions only, nothing for daily wear or sleeping in. If you want to wear a floral-spicy scent this potent, prepare to be noticed, to have the moment remembered. It lasts forever and withstands cigarette smoke. It’s beautiful and classic, but it doesn’t make me fall in love. For weddings, galas, or parties, if that was the designer’s plan, he nailed it. Opulent, a fierce yet elegant beast.
Elegant and powerful, but smells like the past. I imagine a woman in a large hat, noir style. Talc-like and spicy, more vintage than modern, ideal for fall and winter. My mother used to wear it. I liked it, but it doesn’t fit my style. Still, it’s 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 amazing and lasts all day long.
