December Perfume Challenge: Day 7 - Oscar de la Renta Esprit d'Oscar


Oh my gosh, I almost forgot to blog today which is why I'm doing it at 10 PM. Today's fragrance is Esprit d'Oscar by Oscar de la Renta. There's nothing I associate more with Oscar de la Renta than feminine elegance and beautiful dresses. I remember my friend and I agreed that if we could choose our parents they would be Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera. I know, WTF lol!

I say: At the beginning of this challenge a lot of the smells kind of ran together, but this one is definitely distinct. I think it smells kind of like roses, baby powder and almonds. It's subtle and feminine, but also a little mature. I wouldn't have chosen this for myself, but I will be more than happy to use up my mini rollerball sample. 

They say: "Esprit d'Oscar Eau de Parfum—a modern interpretation of Oscar de la Renta's signature scent inspired by chic and sophisticated women of today. The spirit of femininity re-imagined in a timeless floral-oriental fragrance that is sparkling in spirit.

Retaining the original oriental - floral character, the new composition begins with citrus notes of Sicilian lemon, bergamot and citron, leading to the floral bouquet heart of Egyptian jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose. The base is oriental, creamy, smooth and very long-lasting with musk, heliotrope, tonka and vetiver." 

I was going to say, wow I got that one totally wrong. But apparently heliotrope has notes of vanilla-almond-cocoa. BOO YA! I still don't think it smells very citrusy and to me it is far more floral. Well you smell and learn.
