Oscar de la Renta Jasmine is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Jasmine opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Tonka Bean, Beeswax, and Tolu Balsam. Oscar de la Renta's Jasmine carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Oscar de la Renta offering is a divisive one, a curious blend of fresh white florals that some adore for its clean, green take on jasmine, and others despise for its perceived industrial or 'lubricated condom' scent. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it experience.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and often light projection makes it suitable for casual wear or even light office use, although some find it too fleeting. The lack of heavy sillage means it won't offend in close quarters, but its floral nature isn't ideal for highly formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It bursts open with zesty bergamot and neroli, a bright, clean citrus introduction. As it settles, a bouquet of white florals emerges, dominated by a dewy jasmine and creamy tuberose, softened by ylang-ylang and orange blossom, giving it a lush, almost gardenia-like feel. The base is subtly woody, with a hint of warm beeswax and tolu balsam, anchoring the florals without weighing them down, and perhaps a touch of tonka bean for a soft sweetness.
