Which Should You Buy?
Oscar is a classic 70s powerhouse, divisive for its 'old-fashioned' vibe, but loved by many for its opulent white florals and warm embrace. It's a journey, not a fleeting trend, demanding confidence but rewarding with a truly unique presence.
This discontinued gem is a surprising, sexy twist from DKNY. It's a dark, juicy blackberry bomb with smouldering incense, sparking serious love-it-or-hate-it debate, but mostly rave reviews for its unique, nocturnal charm. Definitely not your average fruity scent.

Occasions
Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, Oscar leans away from everyday office wear where it could be overwhelming.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
