Oscar de la Renta Esprit d’Oscar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Ann Gottlieb and Frank Voelkl. Esprit d’Oscar opens with Citron, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Heliotrope, and Tonka Bean. Oscar de la Renta's Esprit d’Oscar carries a Statement verdict, a powdery-led wear.

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.

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.
