Our verdict on Esprit d’Oscar: Statement

A divisive take on a classic, Esprit d'Oscar is either your gorgeously comforting, powdery-iris dream or a dated nightmare. Test first unless you're a devotee of vintage-leaning florals.

Its moderate sillage and clean, comforting character make it suitable for daily wear, especially in an office or casual setting where it won't overwhelm. While elegant, it's generally considered too soft and 'snuggly' for formal events or energetic activities.

About

Esprit d'Oscar opens with a sparkling burst of citrus from lemon and bergamot, quickly softening into a sophisticated powdery heart. Iris and violet take centre stage, conjuring a refined, almost cosmetic-like aroma, elegantly supported by subtle jasmine and orange blossom. The base settles into a warm, creamy embrace of tonka bean and heliotrope, grounded by a whisper of vetiver and musk, delivering a clean, comforting finish.
