Gentleman

Oscar de la Renta Gentleman is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Gentleman opens with Champagne Rosé, Cardamom, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Rosemary, Geranium, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Vetiver, Amber, and Leather. Oscar de la Renta's Gentleman carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive fragrance, a real love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who get it, it's a sophisticated, sparkling, signature scent that leaves others intrigued. For the rest, it's a muddled, sharp mess destined for the back of the cupboard.

About

Gentleman opens with a distinctive, effervescent pop of Champagne Rosé, brightened by tart grapefruit and zesty bergamot, with a spicy kick from cardamom. The heart settles into an aromatic blend of fresh rosemary, refined geranium, and smooth tea. The drydown reveals a masculine base of smoky vetiver, rich leather, warm amber, and earthy labdanum, adding depth and a classic touch.
