December Perfume Challenge: Day 22 - Oscar de la Renta Live in Love


I remember reading a review of Live in Love where some guy said it smelled like his mom. And I don't think that was meant as a complement. I really love the old timey look of this bottle and I received an adorable tiny version in a beauty box. But the real question is, how does it smell?

I say: I don't really think Live in Love smells like old ladies per se, but it is more mature than Esprit d'Oscar. It smells pretty clean and I feel like there are piney green notes at the end. Or maybe I've just been hanging around too many Christmas trees. This wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't mind wearing this on occasion!

They say: "Live in Love by Oscar de la Renta is a Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Live in Love was launched in 2011. Live in Love was created by Jean-Marc ChaillanCarlos Benaim and Ann Gottlieb. Top notes are hyacinth, galbanum, bergamot, lily-of-the-valley and orchid; middle notes are jasmine, african orange flower and rose; base notes are sandalwood, virginia cedar, woodsy notes, amber and musk."

Woodsy! I knew it! Does anyone else think of Keeping Up Appearances whenever they see Hyacinth? I love that show. 

Anyway, I'm going to be able to make it to the end of the month! I'm running out of samples, but I have some actual purchased scents in my collection. This has been really fun and I've discovered some great scents. I have totally been obsessing over Especially Escada and can't wait to pick up a full size bottle!
