Oscar de la Renta Live in Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Carlos Benaïm, Ann Gottlieb, and Jean-Marc Chaillan. Live in Love opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Lily of the Valley, and Orchid, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Oscar de la Renta's Live in Love carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a clean, crisp green floral that's either a beautiful scent of spring or a soapy, sharp headache inducer. It's affordable, but beware of its fleeting nature - many find it disappears far too quickly, though some get decent longevity. A marmite fragrance, but a cheap gamble if you like green florals.

Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Formal

Its airy and fresh white floral and green accords make it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as it's largely inoffensive. Given the mixed reviews on longevity and sillage, it's not a strong contender for formal events or dates where more projection might be desired.

About

Live in Love opens with an energetic burst of green galbanum and bright bergamot, rapidly joined by the delicate, pristine notes of lily of the valley and hyacinth - like a fresh cut bouquet. As it settles, a soft heart of rose, jasmine, and orange blossom emerges. The dry down is a subtle embrace of woody notes, sandalwood, and a hint of gentle musk, grounding the effervescent floralcy without weighing it down. It’s airy, luminous, and predominantly a fresh, green floral.
